  1. All tickets should only be sold to social media influencers and bucket list people. Anyone who has been a few times before should be automatically struck off their list.
  2. I haven't got a ticket this year but I'm going to make sure I smash my TV in just before. That way I can be certain that I can't accidentally watch any of that sh*t.
  3. Guy Garvey was on Sunday brunch & said Elbow weren't playing this year but he would be there as a punter. Of course, he could have been lying! 🙂

    In Memoriam

    I've been laid up with the flu for a few days, so I somehow missed this tragic news. I saw him on Avalon at my last Glastonbury in 2017. As a kid I loved Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel more than Bowie and Bolan. Having a listen to him now with a glass or two of rum & shedding a tear.
  5. The Hold Steady last night in Campden Electric Ballroom - fantastic as usual - I genuinely don't think there's a better live band on the planet. Having said that, I didn't think the sound in the Ballroom was as good as usual. Didn't stop me absolutely loving it though.
  6. Billy Bragg x 4: Leftfield (obvs) Pyramid Acoustic Toad Hall Actually 5 if you include the brief appearance on Park with the tribute to Jo Cox.
  7. Echo & the Bunnymen tonight at Gloucester Guildhall. 8th time I've seen them & it will definitely be the last! Played for 25 minutes, then f**ked off for 20 minutes. Eventually came back on & Mac mumbled incoherently for 5 minutes between each song. When they actually played they were alright. Shame as they used to be one of the best live bands around.
  8. In that case, she should be buried! 😀
  9. I know it's only February, but if there's a better TV show than True Detective: Night Country this year I'll be amazed! Fantastic.
  10. No, just the Friday. I was potless when the tickets came out & by the time I had money, the Friday was all that was left. Just as well as it turned out as it's my grandson's first birthday party on the Saturday & I couldn't miss that - not even for The Hold Steady!
  11. Are you going to all 3 nights?

    2024 New Music

    I like the new Idles - not sure I love it yet - maybe after a few more listens? Pretty sure I'm never gonna love it as much as 'Joy' though. The new Grandaddy though - absolutely gorgeous. A bit one-paced, but I bloody love it!
  13. Only the 3 at the moment:- Echo & the Bunnymen - 2 weeks today. The Hold Steady - 3 weeks time. End Of The Road festival - end of August
  14. If that clashfinder is close to right, I'm going to have the hardest choices I've ever had in 16 EOTR's :- NewDad / Bonnie Prince Billy Slowdive / Sleater Kinney Gruff Rhys / Lisa O'Neill Camera Obscura / Sprints Idles / Lankum f**k me, it's over 6 months away & I'm having panic attacks! 😃

    2024 New Music

    Finally got round to listening to NewDad & Sprints - both excellent.
  16. Do we have to be respectful of Tory politicians on this thread? If so, I'm out! 😉
  17. Exactly this. I actually quite like it if there's a day when there's no headliner I want to see - I can wander through the enchanted woods, enjoy some of the great food & drink, sit by the fire & chat to fellow festival goers. It won't be the case this year though - I'm spoilt for choice with the headliners! Apologies to everyone if I came across as snarky - I've been given a sh*t job to do at work & I'm in a bad mood!
  18. Actually, although I may have come across as the ultimate Idles fanboy - I've only ever seen them at EOTR & wouldn't pay to see them on their own tour. I just got annoyed with people saying "what a great lineup, but why the f**k are Idles there."
  19. I have no issue with people saying they don't like an act. What I do have an issue with is people saying "they shouldn't have been booked ", which a few people have.
  20. Ffs, it's just one act out of over 100 acts announced! There's a few acts announced that I have zero interest in seeing - same as every single year. I don't come on here to "express disappointment " just 'cos I don't like them! It's pathetic. Curate your own festival if you want to love every single act on the bill.
  21. I agree. It does seem like music snobbery. Comments like "great lineup, except for Idles ", makes people sound like spoilt brats - "how dare they sign up a band I don't like!" If you don't like them, go do something else instead. No-one's forcing you to watch them. You can't possibly love every single act on the lineup!
  22. More than happy with that! Headline clashes galore - I want to see all of them! Can I divide my body in 2 so I can be at Woods & Garden at the same time? 😃
  23. Haven't got a machine gun handy so decided to give it a miss 😀
  24. I've been on a 4 day week since my heart attack 3 years ago. I'm poorer but much happier. Hoping to drop to a 3 day week after my 60th at the end of this year.
  25. He'd be General Melchett - miles from the action & ordering millions to certain death! The fat useless public school c**t!!!
