Radiohead wont play glasto; they are just too 'cool' to do that now. Urgh. I dont like radiohead.

Muse, why not? Most asked for band like every year, they've got a new album coming out, they are british, they havent played since 2006 (which i agree is too soon, but its not too soon for MB). I can see them doing reading. But its a prediction...and predictions arent fun if you go with what everyone thinks.

B)

I don't get airs of 'being too cool' from Radiohead at all. They said they didn't play Glasto because it was too soon,and that the goers were probably a bit sick of them. From interviews I've read,the festival means an awful lot to them and they love to play it. I think they'll be there next year.I was surprised they weren't there this year to be honest.

I think Muse will want to take a year out from headlining festivals and a 3 year gap isn't very big.And of course,if they are set on doing every single British festival,they haven't done Glasto for a long while,although I can't imagine them playing the same weekend as Radiohead.It'd be more down to them not wanting it than the organizers.

I reckon Glasto will be Foo Fighters,REM,Radiohead,Reading will be Green Day,Arctic Monkeys,AC/DC.

Wouldn't mind as I still think Final Straw's a great album, but not sure if the ignorant c**ts who don't like anything softer than Gallows at Reading and Leeds will take kindly to them. Not saying they'll get bottled as they're not a shit pop act or a reviled emo band but I think the crowd will just be apathetic. Shame really, they have some anthems in them.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
