  1. Spot on. Amazing how everyone on here are ignoring people and reviews of the last week. After going to Ashton Gate I went from ‘meh’ on this to very up for the Friday night - it’s going to be great.

    The churnups

    I don’t think think this is exactly what happened, but something like this is possible. For what it’s worth it’s not come from someone on the hotel side of things As someone who knows from the same place as Joey, I certainly wouldn’t be clinging on to it as proof they’re doing this spot (and neither is the source).

    The churnups

    The Foos hotel rumour... I know Joey's source and it is v good and v honest (it's the one that brought you Acardia last time amongst others). So I don't doubt it true at the time and they still believe it for what it's worth. Although there was talk at the time it could be about a Special Guest appearance, there's nothing since to link to this slot. Grohl could be coming to watch.
  4. For all the stick - and I agree as I’m someone who was very bored on their last tour - they were absolutely brilliant on Monday and seem to be getting great reviews in England this time around. Something felt different. Defiant almost. A swagger.
  5. Maybe in isolation, but dropping Mardy Bum (and to a much lesser extent My Propellor) out of the blue was better. Also I've seen Cornerstone a lot more times than Suck it And See.
  6. Not always been impressed with them live before, but they nailed it at Ashton Gate on Monday. They were up for it and had much more presence than normal. A really great gig from them.

    Shut up. Please. Even if few people think it's a good booking even fewer want any more discourse on Guns n Roses in threads not about Guns n Roses. I just popped in to see if it was Pulp or Foos and now it's Blur.

    The churnups

    Yeah the twitter is so on the nose, that if it is linked to ‘The Churnups’ it’s almost certainly a deliberate novelty red herring. However it’s much more likely it was made yesterday by someone completely unconnected who was bored at work.
  9. Didn’t complain personally, but was caught up by accident in a couple of pretty bad crowd moments and can’t honestly blame anyone who complained about them. Something needed addressing.
  10. They did do something different though - they had a string section, and played Mardy Bum and A Certain Romance which weren’t staples. Neither were regulars on the tour and the latter was basically a homage to their 2007 set. Looking back they practiced that a few times in the build up and dropped it again shortly after Glastonbury. In 2007 they did Diamonds Are Forever and had Dizzee Rascal (even if his mic didn’t work) They won’t radically overhaul the set but I wouldn’t be surprised if they do a few different bits.
  11. Where did the Royal Blood subbing info come from? No chance they’re third down with Pulp subbing? Seems quite a high slot for Royal Blood as not sure their stock has risen since 2017…

    Blur

    This isn’t a rumour really. Well placed source of @JoeyT info fame.

    Blur

    There's music coming
  14. Taylor pulled out. Does that mean Roughbloke was right?

    Blur

    I got one for £2.50 a few days before. But think the appetite is higher now. They been around a fair bit 2009-2015.
  16. That LCD Soundsystem gig was magical. A long, tough but enjoyable festival with a cathartic ending. One of the best crowds of the festival enjoying every second. I remember the countdown clock for the set behind James, and as it ended with All My Friends it had that feeling of trying to cling on. Those Coldplay wristbands going off everywhere too and it felt like the only place to be. My favourite gig at the festival I think.
  17. Got the Thursday presale link - but if anyone has a spare one for Ally Pally today they aren’t using, would be hugely appreciated!
  18. I think they tried again in 2015. Was with Michael Eavis at an event that year and he was saying a headliner was going to be announced hopefully that evening, and to paraphrase it was basically sorted but that he wasn't taking anything for granted until 100% done as he has pulled out before. Then nothing came and The Who filled in (and pretty sure one of their crew confirmed they were Prince replacements in a blog).
  19. I think anyone who headlines All Points East can probably be considered for Other Stage headliners. They didn't sell it out but it would be a good booking against a lot of acts.
  20. Yeah, I think it actually went down pretty well. Lots of fans seemed annoyed as it wasn't the big anthemic singalong (that they would get on the Other Stage). Those unfamiliar with them, who didn't know if these were classics or new, just seemed to think they were good.
  21. Are we still pretending they pay every headliner the same?
  22. Would be incredible but looks like they have dates.
  23. Yeah the issues I have heard about are because someone changed their address rather than the card. It then flagged it on the system. People use other people's cards to pay and I am not actually sure a merchant can see your address when you give them the number?
  24. Iggy in 2007 was one of the best Glastonbury sets of all time in my humble opinion. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/jun/24/glastonbury2007.glastonbury
