Ira Gaines Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Apparently it's Noel Gallagher, James and Underworld headlining Electric Fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Going by the undercard, they have a LOT of biggish acts to announce ( by their standards ) or they spunked the budget on the headliners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 R&L is some festival. Must be some dunt going to see Bicep and Papa Roach in the same weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Got my Primavera ticket. Ticks the boxes of all the music I used to listen to in 2012 and club focused acts that I’m into these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Off to SXSW in three weeks. I don’t think I’m ever happier than spending a week in Texas watching live music 14 hours a day. Lee Bains III (who at this point might be my favourite live singer), The Blind Suns, Caleb Caudle and Superchunk are the ones I’m most stoked to see.

Ex Machina Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 2000 Trees is shaping up rather nicely and still a third headliner to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 End of the Road have knocked it out of the park again this year. Line up looks absolutely outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line up looks absolutely outstanding. It's terrific. Stella Donnelly, right at the very bottom, is sensational, and the undercard is particularly strong. ETA: compare that to the Electric Fields undercard, and you can clearly see where one person knows how to curate and the other thinks all in on headliners is the way to go.

Ira Gaines Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 That Electric Fields lineup is ridiculously top heavy. Can only imagine that Noel Gallagher had a lot of the budget put on him. Giving Rewind a go this year. Seems like a lot of fun with some singalong potential. Can't ask for much more than that I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: compare that to the Electric Fields undercard, and you can clearly see where one person knows how to curate and the other thinks all in on headliners is the way to go. My choice of acts to see from this year's line up would be: Feist, Ezra Furman, Jeff Tweedy, Oh Sees, Wild Billy Childish, Destroyer, This Is The Kit, The Posies, Julien Baker, Hiss Golden Messenger, Damien Jurado, Jim White, Colter Wall, Soccer Mommy, The Weather Stations, Caroline Spence, The Orielles, Screaming Females, Anna Burch and Red River Dialect. Admittedly I've already seen some of them this year and I've got a ticket for Anna Burch next month. It's the kind of festival that Connect could have been and that Scotland absolutely needs. Restrict the capacity to a sensible number. Hold it at an accessible venue. It would be a smash and a proper alternative to T/TRNSMT. It would attract a lot of people form the north of England too - easier travelling to somewhere in the central belt than for a lot of folk to travel down to Dorset. *edit* will need to check Stella Donnelly out. There is some brilliant music being made down under right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys Will Be Boys is one of the most electrifying moments I’ve ever had at a gig. Yeah. Green Man in Wales comes close, but that’s an absolute nightmare to get to. Festivals need to be getting lower key. Otherwise the just aren’t sustainable, as we saw with T in the Park in its original guise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks insufferable, but there are plenty of good bands that we can watch from the comfort of our drawing rooms with the booze of our choosing!

You can drink in the festival, but only in designated drinking areas which are apparently not even close to the stage. Seems to be a festival for celebrities to post on their Instagram.
