    I'd say that the Undergrowth stage is going to be rammed tomorrow night with Denis Sulta & Bicep playing in there. If capacity in the tent wasn't an issue I'd argue that they would attract a bigger crowd than Bonobo & Four Tet who will be on the main stage at the same time.

    I was in the Royal Hospital this morning and was able to watch The War of Drugs soundcheck. they sounded great and did a cover of
    Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen
    . it was amazing, not sure if they include it in any setlists or if its just a warmup tune. Would be great to hear it later.

    Crazy searches on the way in. The stairs passage from James' is closed off. Gardai searching on the way up. Full bag searches inside. Had a tiny travel hand sanitizer taken off us because it was liquid. Allow plenty of time to come up.

    Warpaint were great and I'm so impressed with how the twenty something youth conduct themselves I gave out to a busker afterwards for only knowing the well known Van Morrison songs. War on Drugs were going through the motions. Can't really blame them for that. Ground looks like its holding up well for Wednesday.

    Got horrendous during Denis Sulta - ended up leaving the tent and standing outside, then they took down the sides of the tent.

    Same happened last year for Fatima Yamaha - they really need to do some crowd control on the tents.

    I made the fifteen minute stumble to Henman Hill so I didn't see the end. God it was so white middle class.

    During their show the thought struck me that I was watching one of the best bands playing together that I had ever seen. And I’ve seen a few in my time. Every song was brilliant and all sounded so individual, no one song sounded like another which is so often the case. Great band playing great music. I would dearly love to see them play indoors.

    Saw them in Vicar Street the other year *smug emoji*

    Didn't see them last night, but heard some of it quite clear from the back garden. Sounded really good. I had a check on Setlist, and it only names 9 songs. Couldn't be right surely, for a 1.5 hour gig?
    I was at the Vicar Street gig too, and some parts were excellent. But overall, it felt a bit disappointing. I think it went on too long, and there were too many lulls for the gig to get going. Our Adam can be a little bit self-indulgent.
