    Reckon they would fill the field as well as the Avalon tent. JP perhaps? 

    That would depend when they were on I guess. If they were on in The ‘Busted’ slot yeah they’d fill the field and more. If on at headline time no way, would just be pure hardcores from the 90s, surely.

    I think JP isn’t an awful shout but it doesn’t feel as good a fit as Avalon...

    around a decade ago Michael was keen to have them, but wasn't interested at the price they wanted. I guess it's still the same.

    Interesting, thanks. They’ve got a load of bangers, with pretty broad appeal (he says as a 40+ person knowing fuck all what people under 39 like). 

  3. I was always taught that if you don’t have anything positive to say don’t say anything. However fuck that - and because it’s the internet and freely sharing negative thoughts is de rigeur. 
     

    AC/DC are so appallingly dull I can’t believe all you otherwise (rarely) sensible legends want them. Baffling. :)

    Unfortunately Rage seem like only very recently have been available so I dont think its them,  if its somebody else the pool for me is Aerosmith, Madonna, Bruce, PJ?

    But imagine you’re Glasto and you’ve been in some long torturous negotiation with someone. And then RATM suddenly become available and go “Sup, Eavii, we’ll play your field. And btw Trump’s a c**t” - you’d snap their arm off right!?

    Good point - I hadn’t thought of that.

    So now we end up with a mix of sheer luck and a popularity contest (knowing a coach ticket holder) to secure a place at WV.

    The counter argument is that if your group is <6 then you will either all be on the coach or all be general sale as tickets would have been bought together. If you’re 6+ then it’s less likely you’ll be able to get your whole group to sign up to WV.

    True. I don’t suppose I see most ‘groups’ as being that clean cut. Our group comes from all over the country arriving by several different means (actually no coach this year, everyone failed in the coach sale). The way of booking coach tickets - from a single location - makes that a bit trickier to think about.

    I just don’t think they’ll want the headaches of TOO MANY coach goers having to get round to WV. I think it was supposed to be a little incentive to encourage people to go on the coach.

    Not sure this will happen? Presumably coach ticket holders will be buying tents for groups that include coach and non coach people? 

    People who want WV just need to know one person with a coach ticket to sort their group out...?

  7. Us wasting time debating whether 1975 or Foals (or whoever) can headline the Pyramid is all fun and games.

    But RATM are a different kettle of fish altogether. Of course they fucking can.

    So you’ll die either way? And I thought PJ were all about still being... alive?

    Dammit, yes I do! But at least one way will be happy. (Good PJ pun tho)

  9. When talking with scientists it is very rare that I hear any criticism towards Greta, as Greta’s main continuous point is “listen to the scientists!”. She’s almost universally respected. 

    Lots of critique is sent the way of XR by scientists though. And as XR have co-opted GT into their movement they may tarnish GT’s aura and message over time. We shall see.

    I was tagged in on a Twitter post by Richard once and the shite he gets in responses is unbelievable. He does very well to avoid engaging with the swivel eyed loons of the world, I didn't and regretted it almost immediately. 

    Haha! He’s an eminently sensible person who does brilliantly at deflecting lunacy of all stripes. He’s also a massive G fan! All round legend imo

    Welcome to discourse in the post truth age. Name calling and telling lies is more effective than forming rational arguments and looking at actual facts.

    True. Happily Richard Betts will be at Glasto - as he is every year - so everyone can politely ask him his opinions on XR’s use and mis-use of language
