  1. Nah, somewhere bigger, he should guest on the Pyramid 😊
  2. Then cost presumably? I can certainly see why such a legend would want a great slot and fee wherever she plays.

    As shared yesterday by @parsonjack and @incidentthey're distinctly limited in what they're permitted to do within the terms of the licence.

    Clearly those things cost money (I've had many times I've paid for beefy servers and infrastructure).
  5. Ah fair enough then, I did think it seemed a bit out of character 😊 I think in this economic climate https://www.nme.com/news/music/21-uk-festivals-have-now-been-cancelled-postponed-or-scrapped-with-100-at-permanent-risk-without-action-3600756 And having had to replenish their reserves https://www.billboard.com/pro/glastonbury-festival-2019-financial-loss-covid-19/ It's an incredible achievement that they've not pulled back from their charity commitments https://www.nme.com/news/music/glastonbury-donated-record-breaking-3-7m-to-good-causes-in-2023-3559447 We know that there would be further outcry if they increased ticket prices to provide greater budget for acts who aren't prepared to compromise on their fee, so as I see it they're dancing on the head of a pin. I think with all that in mind, they've done a great job getting a nigh on gender split and a decent spread of acts, even at this comparatively early stage.
  6. It was my hilarious joke about your typo

    Too much latency, literally all dancing to a different beat...or none in some cases. Unless they created a capacious WiFi cell, which would cost and others would try to misuse.
  8. When the Housemartins played the pyramid in 1986, during the set someone climbed the speaker stack to the left of the stage to erect a banner to protest about news international and the Wapping strikes. As I recall there was an expectation they might get upset at this interrupting their show, but hats off to them they encouraged them on. That and the numerous times he's taken a principled stand or dipped into his pocket to support communities or his fans - he's a top bloke.
  9. 'kinel are you lot living out the bingo card again today?
  10. Ex friend surely? 😜 Those who wish to be on groups should definitely form them ASAP, get in WhatsApp or whatever and share details to establish relationships. It's slightly simpler with folks who have a long history of posting here, simply as you know a bit more about each other. Of course if someone paid for a ticket and then didn't immediately receive funds from the ticket holder, they could follow up a couple of routes to get money back. Majority would not recommend sharing payment details unless very well trusted
  11. Considering the source as well, sounds cracking

    Dexys?

    Ha ha, excellent 😊
  13. Wasn't the issue, simply that these days everyone comes wed or thu so increasingly whatever they had would pack the field as the night wore on? Not like the old days when loads arrived Friday 🧓
  14. But there was a good reason not to have it there on Thursdays, it became too overcrowded.
  15. Hitler was clearly ripped to the tits if he thought the who were OK last time
  16. Cheer up you grumpy fecker, you deserve your own box on the bingo card
  17. As with male artists - the fans of one aren't necessarily fans of the other... because they're in different genres.
  18. Depends on the generation. I remember only two stages and the line up on either could very much have troughs to balance the peaks, but then nobody who went then did so for the line up.
  19. I've been very happy with Tidal, found all my tracks easily, audio quality better, easy to migrate and their highest quality is about to drop in price nearly 50% pm. All the other services give the money that Spotify splurges on Rogan (and more besides) to their artists and they don't have a ceo who invests in arms dealers https://www.whathifi.com/best-buys/streaming/best-music-streaming-services There was a thread a while back with other chat
  20. Anything that upsets the "rock critic" and bono ghostwriter of the torygraph is great news. He can feck all the way off.
  21. And what a dreadful event it would be if they had only ever catered for that demographic.
  22. Can you just stand at the front of the class and talk us through that phrase please dear?
  23. I was surprised that anyone would think they had lots of money to spend. They lost a fortune during the pandemic https://www.billboard.com/pro/glastonbury-festival-2019-financial-loss-covid-19/ Despite that they have managed to put money back into their reserves (to ensure the festival's future), continue the event and even continue supporting causes. We know that many artists support them by performing for no fees or less than normal. We even know that a small number have broken ranks and said they wouldn't perform. We also know that some costs have surged, as they have for other gigs and shows. https://www.nme.com/news/music/21-uk-festivals-have-now-been-cancelled-postponed-or-scrapped-with-100-at-permanent-risk-without-action-3600756 They're also in a challenging position as they can't just put ticket prices up, as that also excludes an increasing number of attendees and as you'd expect plenty in here or other places have strong opinions about that.
