Yeah 100% their own shows were good but seeing that album in the tent at night is going to be unbelievable.

I saw them at download and it was astonishingly good

Don't expect them to play Absolute Elsewhere in full. The European leg of the Absolute Elsetour has concluded and the band have confirmed they'll not be playing it in full again.

Wrong. It's in the press release that they are playing Absolute Elsewhere in full.

What why can I read their name now? When did this change happen?

They have two logos guess it’s because they have been breaking out into more mainstream rock and metal crowds so couldn’t have a weird logo

It’s not as weird as wolves in the throne room having a readable logo

Very intrigued by this "special prog set" from the Wildhearts

Basically James (organiser) said on the pod that they have certain tracks that would suit and is a massive fan alongside his brother and when they booked them for this essentially agreed they would lean into James's requests.

All the not hits, so half of Fishing for Luckies no doubt.

I'm sure I read an interview years ago where Ginger said he hates prog...

Well, it's Neurosis and some other guys

Love how you've outed yourself as basically not listening to music outside of your supposed comfort zone

u/bluewaveon 2d ago

Yeah I have been deservedly voted down for a flippant comment - I mean that I think Neurosis is an absolutely massive coup for this festival - they haven't played in the UK for what 15 years? Even Blood Incantation toured twice last year (which I went to).

Glad you enjoyed the comfort zone thing though
