  1. I used to be on Apple Music but switched to Spotify in January and much prefer it. Especially since I’ve been working from home the last 6 weeks it’s nice to stick on a daily mix which requires very little thinking and gives you a lot of what you like with some of what you might like. Great way of discovering new stuff with little effort 

  2. First gig wasn’t until I was 20 so a late starter. Arctic Monkeys @ Cardiff motorpoint in 2011 supported by the Vaccines. Suck it and See tour and also same year Vaccines debut came out. Seen both bands 5 times since and hoping they’re both active again next year, both class acts 

  3. Halloweens debut out today. Justin from the Vaccines newest project. Wasn’t overly keen on the singles I heard but really enjoyed the album on first play through. Not sure if I’ll remember it a year from now but definitely getting a few more spins this weekend

  4. Having been successful this year for the first time in 3 attempts and the initial excitement I now feel like I’ve scored a goal and VAR are having a look with a strong chance of ruling it out. I’d be gutted if it got cancelled and it was back to square one for 2021 and would obviously welcome the chance to get some sort of priority for it. 
    Emily and Michael will receive a lot of abuse whatever decision they make which is so unfair. They do so much good but can’t win with this which is out of their hands. 

  5. Just seen Kendall Calling have put out a statement that reassures ticket purchases that IF it were to be cancelled that their ticket would be valid for 2021 or choose a refund. Obviously very different in size, popularity and demand to Glastonbury but it would give a lot of people on here peace of mind if Glastonbury offered the same. I know it’s not a major thing in context but would be one less thing playing on some people’s minds in these worrying times.

  6. Been thinking about the current Coronavirus and why it seems so big. I think a large part of it is social media, everyone talking about it and having their own (and in most cases with no basis or facts) opinion on it. Before social media we would hear about it once or maybe twice a day on the news and there wouldn’t be as much of a panic. 
    Journalists like piers Morgan constantly mentioning it because it’s current doesn’t help and has lead to this panic buying which has snowballed.

    Death rates of other epidemics have been much higher in the last 20 years but never seemed as bad or big as this one because guess what? Social media was much less prominent. Don’t get me wrong I think it is bad but made so much worse by people being fed constant headlines and reports.
    I feel my point is backed up by the fact there are over 140 pages of discussion on it on here in less than 2 months, some people massively overreacting and probably just because of some scaremongering tweet they have read.  

    Just sit back, stay clean, don’t lick any hand rails at airports and we will be fine

    Seen on Twitter - real or fake?

    Just seen this and was going to ask the same. Stormzy is doing UK tour in sept so looks like he could be there, the black keys seem an odd one as didn’t think they had plans for Uk this year but if there’s any truth this line up is so strong

  8.  Liam does play the better more rock n roll Oasis songs but then again he is the voice of these songs so it works, he just needs to band to play behind him. Noel’s voice is very different so not sure how they would sound if he tried belting them out, I quite like going to see them seperately at their gigs as you know what you’re getting and they’re very different gigs, and no overlap on oasis covers. 

  9. Love looking back at past line up posters some look incredibly strong, be interesting to look back at current line ups in 5-10 years and see what we think. Only been to Reading twice 2014 and 2017 and loved them both, sun out all weekend both times and some strong line ups for me. 2014 was my first proper festival and Paramore, Arctics and Royal Blood probably my highlights. Blink were great to see although they sounded awful.
