uscore Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 yeah I'm with haha. Sure you never wear the t-shirt of a band playing that day? At a push you can wear the t-shirt of the band on a day they aren't playing, ideally a day or two before rather than the days afterwards. On the day even wearing a cool band t-shirt from 20 years ago is too lame. Also, never wear this year's festival t-shirt. You should never wear them ever, but if you must, they should be at least 5 years old and be from a better festival. Or if you are already at the best festival, then somewhere else cool like Fuji or somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryclaireyfairy Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 My vintage Bends era Radiohead t might be getting an airing at some point. Bring it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatty Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Jesus, having rules on t shirts man. If your mocking people for their garb then says more about the person mocking than vice versa. Wanna wear a Radiohead t to a radiohead gig, then do it. Who really gives a fuck? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole reason why people say you shouldn't wear a bands T shirt to their own gig is because it's obvious you like that band because you're at their gig already. But this isn't the case for a festival - if you're seeing a fairly obscure band at 12 on the Park Stage it's fair to wear that shirt around the festival, it's good to support them and it won't be immediately obvious you're a fan of that band, even by virtue of being at the Park Stage gig. You could argue it about the headliner true - they're headlining that day, will have loads of fans and if you're there at the Pyramid show chances are you're a fan too.

Ok, I accept the rule is too strict for smaller bands on earlier in the day, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Every time I see Radiohead I go dressed as a Fake Plastic Tree. Am I making it too obvious that I like them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so grumpy and lighten up a little. Have you not heard of people just being silly and playful? You're going to Glastonbury in 4 weeks (I presume). There should be nothing but joy in your heart. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 My friends are all going to Katy Perry as Left Shark. To save space they're wearing the same costumes to Radiohead and hoping to pass themselves off as Weird Fishes. The ruddy idiots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Radiohead t-shirt is a very rare one and I love it, I wear it regardless of if they're playing, but I will be wearing it on the Friday! Might even stick some sellotape on my eye lid and pull it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 My plan (hopefully) is to watch all of the FLips, then make it to The xx for the last few songs. If I can be there for Loud Places and Angels I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm similar, but want to catch most of XX so will have to pull away from Flips early - which is likely not to happen now I've just written it down....
