Guitar music gets a bad rap these days and it's been a bit of a laughing stock for a while. But it's good to see it coming back with Idles headlining the Other Stage.

Guns 'n' Roses brought Dave Grohl out for Paradise City
OK. Fair. But he was onsite anyway and just stood in the background joining in.

yeah, sorry but i don't believe anyone does anything for free.
unless you are an absolute nobody, in which case ok yeah maybe - but if thats the case then you are doing if for exposure so its not "free".
when McCartney rang up Bruce to ask him to play - i am very sure that the very first thing Bruce thought of was "how much".
There's a difference between doing it for costs vs doing it for costs *and* a fat stack. In the case of Macca's guests they were clearly there for the man himself rather than to grab a huge bag.

Because it adds something to make it a special set compared to a regular tour night.
Plus, although there are obvious exceptions, lots of acts don't actually do it - Arctic Monkeys, Guns'n'Roses, Billie Eilish, Kendrick, The Cure - and going back further Kanye, the Stones, Bowie, Radiohead, Adele, Foo Fighters etc all performed without them.

The Sun ran a story on Dua Lipa that mentioned guests.

I'm also on the cold milk in the morning team. Nourishing, hydrating and helps line the stomach for that breakfast pint. In fact most days I'll grab two pints.

There are stalls all over.

Contactless went down a bit last year as well.

Faithless moved to Friday isn't a surprise.

Any recommended sleeping mats/ blowup mattresses for a larger body type that don't break the bank?
Not a super cheap option but I've had a Thermarest Prolite for about 15 years and couldn't fault it.

Might be more to do with their agent / management. If they're currently seeking representation then maybe their usual avenues are starting to dry up. Not sure if they'll be up in Edinburgh this year.

FFS having to edit every post I make to fix the pronouns.

I'm sure Toby Young and the Free Speech Union have already rallied to the cause.

Also keep smirking at the general response to the initial album being ‘this is too long’ and then a whole second part dropping, although seems like she’s done exactly as she undoubtedly hoped and broke a whole bunch of streaming records on the first day.
Looking more and more like a tactical faux pas- folk didn't have enough time to digest the album proper before the second tranche arrived - and whether deserved or not the latter 15 tracks will always have an air of also rans about them. She should have put a bit more breathing space between them.

For further context, there's a long post halfway down this thread from someone who was there at the time

As noted elsewhere Currie can be aggressive to audience members and seems to have some other sketchy behaviours, but I dont think this is something they should lose their livelihood over.

Yeah that Afriquoi slot popped off. I'd seen them on Truth Stage previously and it was a bit quiet, but WH slapped.

Gossip are headlining a stage

Yes, they can be abusive to audience members in a way that can cross a line
This years special guests?

My hot take is that some guests are good and some aren't - it all depends 🔥 🥵
