two of them are in martha?

This If organisers were bothered about great performances, RHCP would never get a festival booking.

Which will come first, the full Primavera 2023 lineup or the first names for Sziget? Place your bets people

I'd be surprised if we get anything today. Ken is usually a bit more chatty when there is incoming news... Please be more chatty Ken. 😉

NO IT COULDN'T

Actually, it's the Wake Up Boo!dists

If that were true the opinion polls would be showing "any other leader being 20 points ahead by now" as we were repeatedly told.

She’s taking Elton’s second day thus setting him up for a triumphant visit to the fields of Avalon?

I know I’m in a small minority but I would love it if Springsteen was here instead of TW Classic (I know he’s at TW Classic by the sounds of it so it’s a moot point) but it would be arguably my favourite live artist at my favourite festival and that would just be amazing. Really unsure who the Saturday headliner will be now, but I also hope for a batch of smaller/medium names tomorrow to get a bit of an understanding about the line up. I would have loved Placebo and Interpol on the line up but they’re both ruled out, so instead hoping we might get Beck, The War On Drugs, Foals and a few more of that ilk to fill some decent spots across the weekend

I'm not having much trouble sleeping at the moment, thanks.

Cheers Oz, I'm trying to.

It's a strong lineup, it really is. Years ago, it was always a case of being a little bit thinner than beautiful days (entirely justified by the capacity / ticket price), but there really is nothing in it these days.

Yes but my mum paid for them. What a great woman she was !

some great Gigs in there we have to remember though that £1 was about 3weeks work back then 😉

Fuck me, this place could start an argument with a fucking mirror

It’s weird to bring that kind of acknowledgment into a throwaway list of old music videos. It’s not prestigious, they’re not promoting QOTSA, and he he hasn’t been charged with anything and it’s part of a shitty divorce battle where Brody has been accused of shit too. Wait til they read about the Puddle of Mudd singer. Would they remove him? Or does it not fucking matter? Who knows? Who cares? Let’s just crank some Bizkit.

It's really frustrating, isn't it? That looked like such a great party day. I suppose it still is, but Grace Jones was a major part of the attraction for me. What I don't want to see is Grace added to the line-up on a different day as I'm not really interested in any of the others so far. 🤞

Organizers don't care if AM plays with their feet instead of hands as long as they sell enough tickets 😄

so today so far apart from what I have said above War on Druigs which as expected is good ZuZu new single is good, can't work out if I really like her or just a few of the tunes Friday Funk delivered curtesy of Twin Stix remaster by Soopsoul released on Jalapeno. Funky as fuck (Added to must buy list) Max Cooper - Live at the Acropolis - man to have been there with the visuals relaxed loveliness delivery by Max Ritcher soundtrack to Invasion and the new one by Olafur Arnalds - The Invisilbes EP

New Frank Turner😳

sounds nasty, glad you are better now

Never heard of him before but giving this a play and sounding really nice. Thanks for sharing!

That make me think that a macca date will be around then

I had similar thoughts about Gwen Stefani on that day. I loved No Doubt as a kid and apparently she does a few of their songs in her setlist so with No Doubt having not toured the UK in 20 years I'd figured it'd probably be the closest I can get to seeing them but she's just disappeared from the line-up.

This new album by Strawberry Guy sounds lovely. https://strawberryguy.bandcamp.com/album/sun-outside-my-window

It's what the crowd wants

Never more have I dreamt of being back in that field with a beer in hand, mid afternoon sun beating down than I have when I gave this it’s first listen just now. Lovely stuff from them yet again - what a band.

You’ve made that up 😂

Why are people talking about Limp Bizkit when the new Mastadon album is fucking great and a must listen!

By dredging up this old thread @blutarsky has made me realise my question was so bad it somehow killed a thread that had been going for 89 pages 🙈 The irony of me thinking someone would get it straight away 😂 If anyone is curious the answer was the Pussy Parlure

I've seen a few of their live performances online and my understanding is she's allergic to shirts.

Eagles would be such an epic Glastonbury headliner. I think they’d turn a lot of doubters. Shame to see them ruled out but if it was gonna happen it would’ve happened by now anyway.

I assume most bands playing £10 gigs in your local venues would have other jobs, much like a lot of non-league footballers. Not sure the bands lose out on gigs, they get a set fee I'd have thought? Probably the promotors who are taking a hit if ticket sales don't cover band and venue costs. Agree about music being subjective. I'll have more fun at tonight's Silverbacks gig than I ever could have watching Adele for 9 times the price.

AOTY and I haven't even heard it yet

https://open.spotify.com/album/1E094hHDWCHZqO1YVLIUmj?si=kHOQFCfEQqGACVitg_zOTQ Geese album finally out today. New Yorkers giving plenty of the NY-vibes but mixed by Dan Carey (like bloody everything is now) and released via Partisan (Fontaines, Pottery, Just Mustard, Chubby & The Gang, and those 'punks' from Bristol). & PIAS (The indie-label conglomerate that probably owns your favourite label)

Here are this week’s questions (there were only 4, numbered 1, 2, 4, 5). I’ve renumbered them for ease of answering. 6. How many people took part in the world's biggest human peace sign at Glastonbury's famous stone circle? 7. How many acres of land does the festival cover? 8. How many babys have been born at Worthy Farm? 9. Which headliner sparked a fine from Mendip District Council for playing too long in 2009? Bruce Springsteen - @oneeye

I wonder if it's possible to get an Arctic Monkeys return, as far as I know they're working on the next album.

Looking forward to my £9 3 band gig tonight. Although I'll let you know if the price ends up being representative of quality 😄

@Ken19, I don't even ask for a headliner, for me tomorrow it was 20 medium/small names. Already despair for new names 😆

It was fine, they all thought you were a lovely bloke but looked at me like I was a total weirdo while I tried to explain what The Thingy is.

I feel like a lot of the time club operators are given the keys to old buildings / land by mega corporations / land owners specifically to kind of make an area look cool before they inevitably have to make way for the original purpose for which the land was acquired. Canal Mills in leeds is also a good example, its now being demolished and flats / houses built on it. the clubs are rarely meant to be there for the long haul just as a stop gap until finance and design are in place and to “kick off” the regeneration project, so to speak. Its all gentrification in the end.

AEG and Live Nation have actually agreed a working relationship for BST which is why you can now buy tickets via Ticketmaster (which you couldn't prior to 2019) and this gives them access to some LN artists is my understanding
