Flaming lips

[Mash011]

Glastonbury is a stupid very bad festival and I hate it.

[jparx]

Seems like a bizarre clash on the face of it, but I guess if they were adamant on headlining a stage it was probably the only slot available. 

Only seems to leave them with an hour set though. Seems a bit short?

I think I'd be gutted if I thought owt to Oczy Mlody. As it stands, just miffed.

Park stage always ends at 00:15 on fridays and saturdays so they're on for an hour and a quarter. 22:30-00:15

Heh.....well remembered.  

The Radiohead / Lips fan's loss is clean drinking water's gain.

Yep, that's my thinking too!

[Mr.Tease]

Why would the gods do this to us?! WHHHHHHHYYYYYYY????????????????!?!!!

[deepkittycaz]

Because they secretly hate us?

Glastonbury bookers:

Booker 1: "Hey, remember how everyone has fond memories of 2003 when Flaming Lips led into Radiohead and everything seemed perfect?"

Booker 2: "Yes! That was perfect- most radiohead fans like Flaming Lips and vice versa"

Booker 1: "Well fuck them all! Lets clash the shit out of those losers!"

Booker 2: "Hell yes!"

Still the Lips for me, no question.

And to think some people thought they weren't big enough to headline a stage! Third top on other stage was even mentioned at one point

I think I'd have preferred JP, but this will be sensational.

 

[shoptildrop]

Have they confirmed to be Park headliner????

Nah we thought they weren't big enough to headline Other. Third down Other is a bigger slot than Park headliner, I'm surprised they haven't got a bigger slot.

It takes ages to get from pyramid to park, plus if you're not over the brow of the hill at the park stage you're finished- can't see anything and the sound is awful.

I think radiohead are less likely to tour again soon, will charge more for tickets and are more likely to pack it all in so I'm more likely to see them I think. 

[shoptildrop]

This is awesome news for me

The lips crowd will be microscopic, I wouldn't worry about getting there early to secure a good spot!

[Andeeroo]

Lips would my first choice but I fucking hate trying to get out of The Park after a headliner. It's an absolute nightmare. I'd be all over this otherwise. Not sure what I'll end up doing.

[nikkic]

Truly gutting but was always likely I suppose. Nothing will take me away from Radiohead so I'll have to see them elsewhere I reckon.
