TBH if Dua Lipa brings Mick Jagger out idgaf that he's not on her new album.

To expand: Yay! Boo!

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

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.

OK. Fair. But he was onsite anyway and just stood in the background joining in.

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.

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.

i think this has already been rumoured in a few places...

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.

Dub Pistols more like D@b Down Pistols imho

Faithless moved to Friday isn't a surprise.

Not a super cheap option but I've had a Thermarest Prolite for about 15 years and couldn't fault it.

There'll be plenty of them around.

He can ride his Luck Dragon in.

It's textbook pinkwashing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)

Empty handed for our lot.

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.

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 https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=105718.60#quickreply_anchor 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.
