Oh come on! Their last two albums were average at best, in fact the last one wasn't even average. It didn't chart in 3 countries and was notably lower in certain one's. Headlined IOW in a year where Noel Gallagher and George Ezra were subs at major festivals. You mentioned headlining Reading and Leeds. And yes I know. I'm not sure if it's been 100% confirmed Deftones are under Maiden or I'd guess the poster would show so.

Because they are essentially the 'weaker' headliners. They were on the same line as Catfish and Disclosure who IMO are nowhere near main stage festival headliners. I mean Stormzy for me isn't either but neither of those are as big as any of the 3 main one's at the top. Biffy Clyro are also declining. They are doing shows that Chic and Eric Prydz are doing. Before anyone says about the Eden Sessions. Yes they are small but are specifically designed like that and there isn't anywhere else in and around that area for gigs as far as I know.

I think if Alkaline and State Champs didn't clash I'd have just about gone. Two bands to watch early and getting from Swansea to Hatfield for for midday and in is too much.

I think Qotsa are the potential remaining sub.

02 has always been a pain. For me it's just as far away from the starting tube aa can be after travelling to London. Plus they cost more than anything else. As for Wembley, I've never had any issues and actually prefer it as a choice. A train into London for me or drive to Stanmore give very close options. Especially if I go further to say Finchley.

Yeah Arctics are my bet anyway. Indie, female and heritage Billie, Dua Lipa, Wolf Alice Arctics, Noel Gallagher, Aerosmith Elton, Royal Blood, Haim, Di Ro, The Specials QOTSA, Fatboy Slim and PSB for Other. Couldn't think bar Royal Blood. Still think WA could do other sub Friday below Queens

This was clear from the start. She's doing a 3 dates London before hand with a day gap. Glastonbury to London is nothing for her. She's got time off after that weekend. She's not the first by far to do Glastonbury as a solo festival either if she is. Who cares? Billie fans are clearly all over Spotify and such. The kids aren't rushing to hmv or amazon to buy it.

London Grammar are nowhere near big enough, lucky to sub Other. Won't be Wolf Alice either in my view.

It's sold out, they don't care anymore to be honest. 30k people could turn up but 90k tickets sold is what matters.

It was always going to happen.

Yup, FYF, Sum 41 and With Confidence were 3 big interests dropping now along with others who have. Alkaline Trio I want to see as it's been ages but them and Creeper with some filler who I am happy to watch just isn't justified. Also got to get to drive from Wales to get there so just going to stay in Wales and see some stuff before heading home. Potentially pop to Rhosilli Bay for an hour or so.

That has made the decision to do what I am over the Victorious plunge an easy one now. I had other interests but without Richard I was never going. It would be an easy decision for me but I saw Manics at Victorious first time round. Little overkill to be there again though.

Preaching? It's not a religious sermon. Yes you wasting your time, because you bother to react to the post in a way I don't give two shits about lol. I know you don't agree, but you fucking did 6 months ago when Boris was doing everything wrong and not putting things in place quickly enough didn't you. BUT, now there's events to go....ah nevermind...we'll forget we felt like this. Yes it's my view, but it's based on others pure utter turn a blind eye bullshit!

Just to make it clear, down vote all you want as there is 2102 reasons why you're wasting your time lol

Just to make it abundantly clear despite what some arseholes on here think, I'm not against the festival at all. I'm against this and such like under circumstances mentioned.

Nope

Exactly my point! Double vaccination is all they can do for this. EVERYONE wanted to government to act and do it there and then and not 7 days later. Though now it's okay to do it 6 weeks later and not instantly instead because it benefits people who want to attend an event. Bad decisions make zero sense. Let's just accept that what is being allowed to happen and what people are okay with due to they get to go to something is 'sugar coating' it and ignoring previous views. It's very much double standards if a huge selection of people will be using a test system that is 50% accurate to get in which has suddenly changed from my top point in this. Plenty of people of the younger are testing positive but given the stance on here from people were it doesn't matter a while back I guess that stance is it's OK! I'm real and honest about my views, not real and honest depending on what appeals to me or not.

You're missing my point, I didn't say stay permanently say shut down. I've said act on the same values of protecting people fully as what was done through the rest of it. I stick by my own values for that, others are not, their choice. It's a wrong choice, it's a double standard choice but it's theirs. Same as this is your opinion, fair enough.

My whole being is that it should be done under fully vaccinated circumstances period but yet the majority who were pissed at Boris delaying new rules for a week etc and why not now all the way along are happy for him to delay this six weeks because it allows for their enjoyment of an event. Yet it was totally opposite when it only involved the mixing of people, rule of 6 etc etc. I don't think there is a clear way to say that many people in an open area won't have an affect on cases. I think it will but that's my view. For me those in authority have agreed to let thousands into an event with potentially many false negative results due to greed. That is no safer in my view than having let people mingle at events much earlier that had to cancel off of the basis of one vaccination. Not everyone has to have that view, I don't care who agrees, who doesn't, who has an opinion against it. It's just my view. And I feel strongly about that because people have died unnecessarily with completely no choice about the matter.

Aging, drugs and alcohol haven't been at all.

You can always see who you want though. No one is stopping you

I'm not sure about nostalgia but he sounds so bad here.

Great response to someone speaking truth rather than changing their views to double standard bollocks because suddenly they can attend an event. All the fake shit the past however many months from people on here giving Boris earache and it's all suddenly forgotten just like that. Shouldn't actually be surprised though given that some people actually said it's okay and not a big deal for young people to catch covid given it's far less likely. Yet the last 4/5 people I know to catch it are 21 and under and two of them are quite unwell.

Defend it only being so many cases as we come up to 80k joint events. 90 cases out of 180k is still 90 cases. It's falling yes but 20k daily isn't good at all, we were raging at that before vaccination. There is no defence over the numbers rates falling, they shouldn't have been where they were and are due to lack of control in earlier stages, but let's forget that previous opinion when it comes to being able to have fun. No one said it was but I'm not going to sit here and say it's okay anymore that delayed announcements and decisions were before. Yup you are right. People entering with a LFT result is as good as it gets. Shit people are quick to forget everything they wanted from Boris when it matters to their festival entry. The standard of double standard on this board now if crazy. People are basically saying it's okay and accepting a route into an event that is 50% proof at the same time as there is also an option at the level of as covered as you could be. For greed and because they know the right people over others that have been canned and struggled. I have never changed my view from the start regardless but how quickly heads turn.

Why are we trying to defend this as okay though.
