When do you think were the peak years then?
-
I agree it's not a tap in of a booking, and will get a mixed reception. I'd definitely rather they were in the bill somewhere else and we had Cher or someone doing the big one.
-
The trend or bandwagon of not booking Richard Ashcroft to fill every available slot.
-
Robbie's on record saying he wants to do it, so it's inevitable it'll happen at some point in the next few years. Whereas we also have seeming confirmation that this year it's Roxy Music.
-
Kylie was the great refreshening, paving the way for the likes of Robbie Williams to do it.
-
Anyone who claims there's a deterioration has to accept the fact that they're trying to tell us that the 1980s model - when Van Morrison and Elvis Costello took turns headlining - was preferable to the current 'booking the biggest acts on the planet' strategy.
-
Nah. To expand - its sentimental, easy listening, Radio 2 type music. It's also the Teatime Slot - music to enjoy while you relax. The whole point originally was acts that Jean Eavis might have liked.
-
It may be a fourth headliner - or close to it - but the idea is that it's smooth, nostalgic meander down memory lane, not a slot for anyone who's big enough.
-
Coachella is dedicated to evil. The MAGA of music festivals.
-
Future Nostalgia may be 3 years old but it still merits being the focus of a headline slot on the big one. Apparently the new material is a change of direction anyway.
-
So they haven’t got anyone?
-
Of all the music fans on the planet, indie fans are by some distance the least discerning - so it's no surprise that they'll accept phoned in performances that, in any other genre, would see the act get bottled to kingdom come.
-
Someone mistaking proficient for prolific.
-
Given how wildly litigious the US is even something completely mild and antiseptic would probably still be unwise.
-
I can see that the Arctic Monkeys being booked is a concern for fans of Ratboy and the lads.
-
I dunno. It'd be cool, but it still feels like expecting a woman to make all the effort avoided up till now by the likes of U2 and the Stones.
-
You're entitled to your view, but that's not based on anything factual.
-
It's a nice idea in theory, but both Pearl Jam and Radiohead have had a cracking at it to no avail. It is a cartel.
-
I know. That's my point.
-
-
Then why was she signed on to play Glastonbury 2020 for chump change?
-
By her absence from the stage driving up demand? It's true what she says. She is the mastermind.
-
Is it still PR and marketing genius if she doesn't have to do any press or spend a penny on adverts?
-
Sand In The Vaseline reissue on wax.
