    Is it easy to sell my tickets should I choose to do so? Looking like the price and weak lineup is putting my travel partner off..

    Just went to see Interpol in BCN in Razzmatazz

    Superb , especially indoors. 

    I bought mine through Twickets and the seller got in contact with Dice to transfer the tickets to my account so it is possible to sell them that way

    yeah im stupid thanks

    QOTSA are known to be good live and haven't played before. Had it not been old white man year at worthy farm they'd look like a far far better booking.

    They might well be but I guess I can't agree with giving someone accused of dv by both their partner and children a headline slot at one of the biggest festivals in the world

    Relevance is a funny word though, isn't it? Relevance in terms of being a more contemporary act? Relevance to a certain demographic? Relevance to the charts? There's many strands to that term.

    Sam Smith is a good option up against Arctic Monkeys, they're riding the wave of Grammy and Brits exposure. Actually surprised they're not subbing the Pyramid, tbh.

    I'm assuming you're a 1975 fan, so I'll take your word on their suitability to headline. They seem really popular and I suppose one could argue that they might have been a better fit than Arctic Monkeys.

    I agree with you on your point regarding female artists. I'm also surprised there's apparently not going to be more female representation at a higher level but this year maybe artist availability, suitability and willingness to play under certain terms has made booking a little more difficult? I think we all know that Emily is a champion of ensuring a wider range of representation, no doubt they've tried their best.

    I suppose it's my opinion.

    GnR not relevant, never heard a good word about their shows in recent years

    AM maybe relevant in the fact they've recently released a record that got to number 1 but everyone quickly realised it was terrible and as a live band they don't have that spark anymore. A lot of their older fans now bored like myself.

    Elton I would argue has always been relevant, appeals to all generations and I'm looking forward to seeing him.

    Sam Smith only relevant recently due to media attention and a song that gained popularity through tiktok but it's widely agreed that he's fell off everyone's radar musically.

    QOTSA beyond boring.

    Prodigy maybe not relevant for the new generation but their music stands the test of time and they've still got more energy in their sets after all these years than all the above.

    I've said my piece but there's so many more artists who could've smashed it this year.

    I just really wish we were getting 1975 or Harry instead of arctics... really think AM is the weak link in the pyramid line up this year. They've done it before, I love them but it's just so meh....

    Still trying to manifest a curve ball! There's still time....

    Hard agree. Having seen Arctic Monkeys several times, their headline slot at Leeds last year was the decider for me. They could've put me to sleep

    Interesting. From the rumours I've seen (from very credible sources btw), the Other Stage and the general undercard is going to save the day for me. This year could be a clash nightmare of Sophie's Choice proportions in some cases

    Of the headliners listed above, none of them are relevant anymore. The Prodigy might be the only saving grace assuming it's right. They missed a trick not having the 1975 headline with their current show and I'd be surprised if there's not one female headliners across the two main stages, even Boardmasters managed two this year

    flights might determine your decision - i usually fly back on the monday but that day is silly for flight prices now, so coming back tuesday which is still cheaper with a another night in Barcelona's costs added on! 

    Yeah I was looking at Tues-Mon but flights are ridiculous! Even flying out on the Monday bank holiday is cheaper, just means spending more on accommodation. I got my first week hotel this year for 400 euros, same place now is nearly 2k 😳
