  1. Thinking about it I could argue that back in the day Muse’s style was considered quite leftfield for the mainstream and viewed as space/prog rock and not suitable for a mainstream festival headline slot. It would really be an argument over semantics but indie kids (which was what the festival was at that point) definitely viewed them with suspicion. The fact they were alongside McCartney and Oasis people couldn’t understand the booking at all.
  2. Fair do’s, wondered what the criteria was and can see your argument now. If they ever attempt their own stadium show though off the back of strong arena sales I think I serious question will be posed, especially if it’s a dry year for headliner picks.
  3. What qualifies as a "bands like them"? And how far back are you going? Glasto have had Metallica, Guns 'n' Roses, Skunk Anansie, really thought Garbage did it as well back in the 90's but apparently not. You could even argue that when Muse got their first nod it was a bit of a surprise choice as they weren't mainstream darlings then and instead toured their arse off to get the slot much like BMTH are doing now and releasing things/tours that are garnering mainstream attention because of the numbers.
  4. Pure fantasy would be Pink Floyd, Daft Punk, Oasis. In terms of who's still around and I haven't seen, Radiohead/The Weeknd/Paramore.
  5. Scrapping the 2 main stage and curating the days a bit more to the headliner would draw me back as a day tripper, doubt I'd ever return for the full 3 days now.
  6. Just got round to checking out the new BMTH, f**king terrible 🥴 It's like MGK mixed with 100 Gecs.
  7. Folks who have got tickets through ticketmaster, are they virtual tickets or physical? Just wondering if I can buy a car park ticket the day before I go for a day and present the ticket on my phone of if I need to buy it in advance. Thank you all for your help in advance.
  8. Oh found it, you can buy just a parking pass by itself.
  9. Does anyone know the crack with parking at the fest if you have guest list for a day? Can you just pay on the day or do you need a pass beforehand, can’t tell from the website at a glance.
  10. Word on the Glasto boards was they'd been asked for this year but turned it down so I wouldn't be so sure. Course, the Glasto boards might be talking ***** 😆
  11. I think Foo's are a lock for Glasto next year aren't they?
  12. Pretty sure Down did a set back in maybe, 2006 I want to say? Weren't on the poster but played early Saturday mainstage. But yes, I agree. I'm just saying that if the band fancied it then they could play. Being an exclusive somewhere just means you can't be announced for anything else.
  13. Wasn't it because he wanted to do hometown shows to end the tour or something? So played here and somewhere in Suffolk as was born here and raised there.
  14. It's not to say that they couldn't pop up unannounced as used to be the case at festivals over years gone by.
  15. Might very well get a full weekend ticket seeing as me and the missus within walking distance. Decent enough line up while not exciting per say.
