Hacienda Classical to open Pyramid Friday

[CaledonianGonzo]

I suppose the evidence has always been there - I guess people were always just willing to cut him more slack while it was still relatively unobtrusive and the standard of the work was high.

how that man has fallen. his fan base seem to have gone the same way, going off some of the comments on his Facebook post.

we all love to be lectured by an out of touch old fart from his LA mansion.

You'd of thought he'd have learned his lesson the last time he fell from grace with all that national front disco stuff. And the fact he was living as an immigrant in LA! Cretin!

National Front Disco is a tune. Never understood the controversy.

His FB post wasn't particularly controversial either. Suppose people are hitting out at him for seemingly forgetting Jo Cox. He just seems hurt and fed up like everyone else. He'd like to see a harder public line taken.

It's probably more the accumulation of things than any one specific example.  But as a whole, they don't necessarily reflect yer Mozster in the best light.  I think it's just another straw that, for a number of people, has broken the camel's back.

I'm so there! Very strange time for them though. Clubbing in the morning 

Starts at 11am, so there for 10 to get a good pitch, so if we stay up past naughty corner close time from night before it gives us 7-10am to pass. And I'm sure there'll be music somewhere...

Ha ha...oh you're serious? I could so not hack that

Yes very. The only way I can ever get up early is to not go to bed! I'll nap during the XX & Radiohead. It's quiet enough.

Everything shuts by 3am on Thursday night, bar the silent disco.

There'll be no need to get to the Pyramid an hour before it starts.  You'll be able to walk into the pit at any point, even after it's started.

With Hacienda Classical,  George Ezra (supposedly), Royal Blood, Xx and Radiohead I'm being forced into being a pyramid w*nker! I get bored I  the same field for more than 2 artists but I want all of these are must sees for me. Grr.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Pyramid's always got great stuff on it.  Anyone who prides themselves on never (or hardly ever visiting it) is basically confessing to having missed tonnes of great performances for no reason other than reverse snobbery.

Completely agree, not really bashing the stage more than my inability to stay in one place for more than 2 hours without itching to move on.

 

I don't get people who can pitch up and spend all day there regardless though..

Its very rare I watch more than 2 acts at any stage in a row.

Sunday Pyramid 2010 being a standout exception

Could be quite moving, in light of recent events in Manchester. 

Check out this performance on Andrew Marr.....
