  1. Ok fair enough, Park would be great though. They're doing a lot of UK festivals this year so I wouldn't be surprised if they're not at Glastonbury, as much as i'd love them to be there. Even if they're not playing live, we might get a Phil DJ set somewhere.
  2. Orbital have a preference to playing outdoors so I doubt, if they play, they be playing Woodsies.
  3. I'd be well up for that, not sure we'll see them on the farm this year though.
  4. I suspect whatever gigs they have coming up for the foreseeable will be Green/Brown Album sets. It takes a lot of work for them to get the sounds, samples and parts sorted and arranged for what tunes they're playing live so I imagine they'll be making the most of them. When they tour their sets generally have the same set list but they'll improvise the songs on the night depending on what's happening in the room.
  5. Yep, had a ticket already before the announcement so well happy - Brown is my favourite album of theres.
  6. Just wondered if Tool have been considered? Current tour ends on the 27th June in Europe.
  7. Was definitely active in 98, 99 and 00.
  8. Underworld are playing elsewhere Friday and Saturday so can only do Sunday if at all.
  9. Fair enough. I'd probably put Orbital in that category tbh, they have a number of euphoric numbers that i'm sure they'll have in the set - Belfast, Halcyon etc.
  10. Interested in your definition of an 'arms in the air headliner'? Don't think there's been any the years i've been (the last 3 festivals), assuming i've understood your description correctly.
  11. Is 3 with a stay at a hotel after the festival and before the big journey home an option?
  12. The chances of any of those playing is pretty slim.
  13. King Crimson's 70's output is excellent as well as ITCOTCK and Discipline. Yes had a great run between the Yes album and Relayer.
  14. Not sure to be honest, I wouldn't call Green Day pop punk as that label makes me think of things like Busted or McFly. No Doubt had roots in ska-punk and went in a pop direction though so I guess they could be considered though. My memories of music back then was that there weren't so many labels for things. The likes of Melody Maker and NME would feature indie, rock, metal, techno, house, trance and it was just considered alternative/indie rock or dance and people tended to be into allsorts rather than one specific thing. So Green Day, Offspring, Deftones, No Doubt was all alternative rock rather it's own micro genre that it might have subsequently been given in hindsight. So I doubt the festival were boycotting pop-punk as pop-punk as a genre didn't exist at the time. I imagine the situation would have been much the same as now, if these bands were popular at the time, on the radar of the bookers, were touring, were available and were willing to play for Glastonbury's fee they would have been on the bill.
  15. No Doubt, Rocket From The Crypt, Mighty Mighty Bosstones have also all played. I saw the Deftones back in 98 too, not quite pop punk not not a 1000 miles away from Green Day's music. Also the likes of A, Kenickie, Feeder and Ash for a more UK based version of pop punk.
  16. The Offspring played back in the day.
  17. Underworld are playing elsewhere on the 28th and 29th June so would need to play the Sunday if at all.
  18. Just got an email saying Shelter will no longer be providing workers for bars at the festival. Avalon Bars will be recruiting themselves instead, register interest via the website address in the screenshot.
  19. Bob Dylan didn't headline. Played mid afternoon and played a different slot to advertised, they swapped his and Sonic Youth's set around. Was really boring too, I only lasted 3 songs.
  20. Underworld playing UK dates on the 28th and 29th June, could they play on the Sunday?
  21. Can be far depending on where you are parked, it's downhill though.
  22. I have a ticket for Saturday but not sure if i'm gonna go.
  23. I didn't win Depeche Tickets, despite having 12 goes, but I am in the ballot - so fingers crossed!
