Full Corinne Bailey Rae latest album then

Yeah, reminds me of how crowds used to be in the UK.

If you like Gaslight Anthem then Spanish Love Songs are well worth a listen! Lauran Hibberd is great fun too, always good live and good humour. Not to be taken too seriously. Cleopatrick are pretty cool. Bit of a Royal Blood vibe but a bit heavier. The Xcerts are great live. Scottish rock band with pop punk elements. Dune Rats are a sick little skater punk band from Australia. Similarities to FIDLAR in their sound/vibe.

How come Manchester has a new arena anyway, MEN or AO is a good arena.

The 1 clash I really don’t want is Deftones vs Vampire Weekend

Yeah same. Peace stage has to be the Truth. There is Earache thankfully because they’ve got Bob Vylan, Lambrini Girls and Cam Cole playing it. Earache is on the Glasto website when you go to the Shangri La page.

I hope so, really need a stage full of Williams Green smaller acts. Would love to see somewhere we can get bands like Snayx and Bad Nerves.

I’d say Nothing But Thieves are a must, great live band too and fit with your guitar based comment. Soccer Mommy is great but on the softer side of indie. High Vis sound decent. Does Avril Lavigne count? Defo some guitars in there. I agree this year does seem a bit thin. Not loads on Shangri La either but they’ve just announced Bob Vylan and Lambrini Girls who are also both worth a listen, both a bit more punky though.

Discovered these from this lineup and they’re great!

Yeah I’m pretty similar with clashes. Electric Callboy/Royal Republic another annoying one. Reckon I’ll go Billy Talent, Green Day and Corey Taylor as he plays some Slipknot and Stone Sour. Sunday is the best day for me. My probable schedule below. Fri: Against The Current/The Interrupters/Dogstar/Royal Republic/Billy Talent/Green Day/Broilers Sat: Atreyu/Of Mice & Men/Counterparts/Malevolence/While She Sleeps/Machine Head/Corey Taylor/Parkway Drive/End of Body Count Sun: Royal Blood/Enter Shikari/Dropkick Murphy’s/QOTSA/Speed over to Neck Deep/Beartooth/Avenged Sevenfold/End of Pennywise

Yeah, feeling this more than ever these days. Think going forward I’m going to try to stick to events like Glastonbury and 2000 trees unless there’s a band I’ve never seen playing elsewhere. Go to independent venues etc. I feel like the festivals only end up going the way of R&L and the user/goer is getting less out of the experience and is constantly being sold something when I think a festival should be something to get away from your usual normal.

On the AccessTicket app do you have to have data whilst using to get your wristband or will it work without?

Would watch Baby Queen, Frank Turner, The Feeling, Kate Nash & Skindred if there’s no clashes.

Assume they’ll be playing the same time as Phoenix?

First announcement with The Hunna headliner and another TBA. £50. Seems a bit steep but enjoyed it last year so might be worth a go. Only states 2 venues so far though so hope they’re adding more as thought it worked well with the 4 venues/5 stages last year.
