    ELO could plausibly have been expected to be a good fun singalong, I guess. But then the performance was a bit flat & the audience soaking wet & exhausted from four days of mud. 🙃

    Might be the festival have decided to reset expectations for the “Legends” slot somewhat. As has previously been discussed on here, they’re running out of upbeat megastar acts, with a 30+ year history of hits, who are willing to take a Sunday afternoon slot vs fully headlining…

  4. Bit like other previous comments, I don’t hate Coldplay… I just don’t find them very interesting. 🤷‍♂️ Also a little bemused at just how big & successful they are - clearly there’s a massive audience for what they’re doing. For me there have been many more exciting, more talented bands over the past 25 years who’ve not gone on to become worldwide stadium-selling-out megastars. Are Coldplay really better, or did they just get lucky? Mind you, although I find them dull, I can appreciate they’ve worked damn hard, put on a great show & don’t seem to take their fans for granted. That’s more than many artists do & maybe explains their success after all. Tangential question I’ve always wondered: are Coldplay anyone’s absolute favourite band?
  5. Hah, that’s exactly what Macclesfield Festival up the road from us was. Could hear it from our house - to be fair sounded like they were pretty good cover bands. But I’d far rather they created a platform for new local bands playing original songs.
  6. I was looking at the diesel generator/floodlights at Bluedot last weekend and thinking surely we can’t be too far away from having battery stations for them instead? Whack a solar panel on top for a bit of trickle charging, LED lights to minimise usage and I’m sure you could get a weeks worth of night time illumination from the same size trailer. Probably just a matter of cost & replacing the huge number of diesel generator/floodlight units already out there. Prob a while off powering the whole Pyramid off batteries though. 🙂

  8. 👀 Not usually considered a festival essential, but each to their own.
  9. Gosh. Were you stood next to us? 😂

  11. Thanks - good to know. 🙂
  12. It’s happened often enough you have to question whether it’s really accidental! I don’t really want to spoil it but not sure I’m gonna be able to avoid accidentally seeing who it is before the film is out…
  13. My brother worked for a long time as an engineer for JCB and had a branded van for tools etc. One year in the 90s he blagged his way in one of the vehicle gates no less by claiming he was there on an urgent maintenance call out for some of the on site machinery 😂 Pretty sure that wouldn’t work these days!
  14. I dunno, possibly there’s a “safe” way to do it - like with phones putting an alternative contact number as the lock screen background. 🤷‍♂️ Keen to learn any lessons that might help me get lost stuff back in future.
  15. Yeah, it’s very much just personal taste - as I’ve got older I’ve lost my tolerance for extreme violence in media. My teenage self would think I’m completely pathetic. 😂
