Portishead have revealed that they are annoyed at Prince's addition to Coachella Festival bill.
Geoff Barrow said the group would probably get shunned when it comes to soundcheck preparations because the solo star would take up so much attention from organisers.
He told BBC 6 Music: "It was gonna be us and Kraftwerk, which was amazing for us to play with Kraftwerk. Then I knew the tickets hadn't been selling well for the concert, so they put Prince in.
"Prince is gonna turn up with a forty-person entourage. With the sound men not allowing us to soundcheck, then you end up with this horrible situation where you're playing to a shed load of Americans without a sound check."
The Coachella Festival takes place in Los Angeles from April 25 to 27.
