arcade fireman Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 2004 was a brilliant set - one of the best Glastonbury performances I've ever seen. Such a shame they've been so rubbish since, I have absolutely no interest in seeing them this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Can't imagine Arctic Monkeys in 2013 drawing too many complaints. Six years between sets with three extra albums worth of material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Complaints were mostly regarding how deathly dull their first appearance had been and predicting that this one might not be much better. Accurately, as it turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Muse 2016 had no complaints as it was too dull a booking for anyone to complain about. Did people complain about Stevie Wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did people complain about Stevie Wonder? The Daily Mail was probably full of comments about it being a booking for the PC crowd. A minority AND disabled? It's PC gone mad Stew.

Three huge coups for the festival all in one, even if Springsteen didn't quite end up delivering in the end I could certainly imagine a fair amount of people only knowing Blur of those three. The other two are legendary acts and all but I don't believe they ever really hit the UK mainstream hard. Neil Young might not be so much of a coup really - he had been booked to sub once before to be replaced by Kula Shaker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yup - Stevie complaints were generally on the basis that he was too small a deal for the slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Does old Bellers still think the Queen is a lizard and all that? Or did he grow out of it? It's easy to forget that was a thing at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoptildrop Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 what gets me is that some people would love to see Stone Roses yet they have not released anything since the 90's (2 albums!! yes I know they are good albums but come on!!) yet these would be a great booking... but Muse who are more current with hell of a lot more albums under their belt are deemed a strange booking for the year I think Coldplay are sh*t and Adele boring but I know a lot of folk like them so what's the problem? Glastonbury were always gonna go for safe after last's year's issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glastonbury were always gonna go for safe after last's year's issue On your first point I think the reason many would have preferred to see Stone Roses over Muse this year is there's no getting away from the fact that Glastonbury finally booking the Stone Roses would be a proper milestone. Not to mention in the year when they may well be debuting new material at their live shows. Whereas Muse have headlined before and arguably (while still being 'current') haven't really evolved much since their last appearance.
