    Especially as there really doesn't seem to be that much difference for all the posturing about how much better the UK did it than the EU my best friend from back home in Ireland (same school year) was just a week behind me in getting her 2nd jab and most of my colleagues in Spain including many much younger than me have all had at least the first jab (when I say much younger one is 20 years younger than me!)

    Also most things have been open in Spain since March.. well in my area they have anyway. Could have a beer inside a bar etc

    Have Chase and Status done anything to justify headlining OS again? It feels like similar bands that broke through around 2013 like Disclosure and Alunageorge taken steps forward while Chase and Status done the opposite. 

    Strong set of subs on the pyramid, The XX - NGHFB - Lady Gaga would be a terrific lineup for most festivals. #2yearsin1 - all the rumours flying around and that comment from eavis only sets up for a major disappointment in late march :D

    New album on the way I believe and headlining Lovebox this year. Think one of the Lovebox headliners has headlined the Other Stage for the last few years now and looks like Frank Ocean is ruled out.

    Someone emailed me last night, to say that they knew Robbie Williams was playing.

    However, there was something about it which I just didn't believe. Maybe they'll get back to me and say something that makes it more convincing.

    So there's your perhaps-made-up rumour. :)

    Just out of interest, how often do people send you rumours like this?

    The card I used to purchase the tickets with has since been cancelled as I lost it...does anyone know if the refund will still go back into the account?

    I'm in the same situation. I gave them a call and they said the money should go back into account despite the old card being cancelled. 

    There is a slight possibility it won't though and they said to give them a call back if it hasn't been refunded after 15 days and they'll sort it.

    can't see them getting that high a billing after only subbing Other last time 'round. JP headliner (although candidates for that seem to be growing by the day) or another Other slot i'd assume if they were to play again

    Yeah JP headliner is a good shout. Quite fancy Manic Street Preachers to take one of those slots with a new album coming out.

    as posted in another thread, i don't see it happening again so soon after last time, but the fact that they're around and not (i don't think?) down as any kind of exclusive could be looked at at positive i guess. would love them to be there to make up for missing them last time which has haunted me since

    Yeah I had them 3rd down on the Pyramid beneath Radiohead and Bon Iver on the prediction thread. Definitely think it's a possibility.

    I still can't see Alt-J on the Pyramid next year. They had a big slot last year and it would be a waste if they came back in a similar capacity. I don't think there's much demand for them to come back and play a similar slot. I'm a fan of them, but their slot last year hardly had people jonesing for more.

    Perhaps a secret slot on the Other?

    Didn't Vampire Weekend play 3rd down on Pyramid twice within 3 years?

    Personally, I think it's the live shows that give Courteeners this cult following. I still think their music is better than any of the other indie bands of their time such as Enemy, Rev etc, but I reckon it's their gigs that do it for most people.

    Although the now traditional smoke bombs, flares at Courteeners sets may come to an end...

    They've not written a good one either, though, like even their very best are bang average throwaway indie tat by normal standards. I actually found Concrete Love enjoyable enough to listen to, I still put on Small Bones from time to time, but vastly overstating their worth with comments like "actually real not generic crap" is part of the reason people have a problem with Fray and their fans. That and the fact that the only reason they have outlasted The Enemy, Reverend And The Makers, The Fratellis and all the rest of them is being from Manchester.. people resent them because where they're from has meant they've survived longer than they ought to have done.

    Doesn't matter where they are from. Their music is better than Enemy and Rev and I'm a fan of both of those.

    Maybe. I can't say I've followed them that closely. I just remember hearing a lot about them a few years ago, I guess when their debut came out, and thinking they were rubbish. Haven't really heard anything since so I assumed they'd kind of dropped off but maybe they haven't

    Until recently I actually underestimated their popularity amongst teenagers. But yeah they're playing Old Trafford Cricket ground in May with a capacity of 50,000.
