Bradders Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 8 minutes ago, strummer77 said: You are reading too much into those two words. 'I haven't told anybody it's happening" literally just means something is taking place and she has kept it a secret. The fact she hasn't told anybody is a much bigger indicator. I agree, the fact that she hasn't told anyone it's happening means it has to be a significant event. It could be a very underwhelming event, like Liam Gallagher playing his first UK solo show (apart from the secret one he's doing in London soon), but I still think it has to be something that constitutes an event. Gorillaz returning doesn't. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkismo Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 1 minute ago, Eks101 said: Which is fine, but then you have to appreciate it's the equivalent of saying you don't like a film which you have never seen, as the genre isn't particularly to your liking. Basically other people won't value your opinion on it. I'm not asking people to value my opinion. In fact, all I've said is that I've never knowingly heard any of these big rap, grime and EDM artists and I was justifying why I'd never heard them because someone asked me whether I was curious to know what they sound like. In short, there's too much music that I do like for me to bother dipping my toe into waters that I'm fairly confident I won't like. 2 minutes ago, OddRon said: You can like both though, it's okay friend, I love The National and Fleet Foxes and all those lovely American bands like real estate and parquet courts whilst also enjoying Danny brown, kendrick, Vince staples etc I know I can like both. But I don't. I don't make a choice to like something because I think I should - there's a fuck load of indie bands I don't like as well. But I just don't like how modern r&b and rap sounds. That's my opinion and I don't need anyone to agree with me to validate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorillaz returning doesn't. Why? A band that sells out arenas everywhere settling for a sub/park slot after headlining last time they were there. Any other UK festival they'd almost certainly headline. It's an event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An arena-level band that's previously headlined - albeit to not a great deal of acclaim - playing their only other festival show* on a smaller stage (or an earlier timeslot) qualifies as a big secret. * Margate aside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micropizza Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Can't stand most Grime either, and as the lineup at Festivals I go to get more grime-heavy you notice a more attitudey douchebaggy crowd come with it too. Call that a generalisation if you like, but I'm only going by what I've seen... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsnest Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Anyone think the Beach Boys could be a remote possibility? They're touring the UK through May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisH Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'd expect the Foo Fighters to have some sort of special guest, members of Queen or Led Zep being past examples - Maybe Macca? Either way I don't think that in itself will be the 'big secret' because it seems fairly typical for a big Foo Fighters show. That, and the big secret will be Elbow.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think in this day and age if you don't like a genre you won't be exposed to it, I've never really heard a Kendrick song and I don't particularly want to as it's not my bag. I barely listen to the radio and mostly listen to Spotify and when I choose what to listen to it's based on the stuff I already like.

Fork_UK Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I don't think the big secret is just another band. I wouldn't think that an extra band would be significant enough for Emily to use the words "A big secret". I think it's more likely to be a thing. A new stage, or a new area, or a major change to an existing stage or area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billum Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 32 minutes ago, justperfect said: Now do I reluctantly stand through 3 hrs of shouty Dave and the boys in the hope of these rumours are indeed true. I'd be suicidal if they didn't turn up and I'd wasted a headliner Yeah I agree, it's a horrible dilemma. I'm not going to forego seeing someone I want to see to go through hours of Foos in the hope of seeing some Led Zep unless there's a much bigger hint or actual confirmation that they'll be there. Missing the potential collaborunion would be less awful than missing a band I really want to see and that *not* happening! Incidentally I don't think they'd get permission to fly that blimp over one of the most densely-populated parts of the planet when it crashed spectacularly last time out...

evannn Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just to beat the dead horse with a different kind of stick... Gorillaz happening *could* be considered a big event if they do something new and cool with the characters. A 3D/hologram band or something like that. They've always been known to do that sort of thing, a VR gig is something I could see them trying although probably not at Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Wilson was an absolute highlight in 2005 IMO, especially given the way that the treacherous weather seemed to part for glorious sunshine for his set. Having said that, back then he seemed fairly out of it, so I wonder how he is these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
