Never seen them but would love to... I read that the new tour is a full play of the new album. Assume they wouldn't do that at a festival. Be good to hear some of their older stuff.

Can't quite see them headlining outside anymore tho.

For the best I suppose. Manics in smaller venues these days is the way to go. Apparently they weren't that good in '07 but Leeds last year they kicked arse!

I'll be happy wherever they play, as long as they don't clash with Blur mind you.

I have seen the Manics many times and thought they did great in 07.

I would love to see them again at glasto, they never let down live

Love the way they are approaching the new gigs, playing the new album in the first half of the gig, whilst bringing in the classics in the second half.

They could easily play second spot on the Pyramid (How they were third to the Kaiser chiefs last time was a disgrace!).

Get them onboard!

"I write this alone in my bed"

PLEEEAAASE!!!!!

Ah ha!

Just reading this makes me feel 13 again. 20 years since Suicide Alley, 10 years since they headlined the Pyramid. Come on!! Do it, anywhere, even a surprise slot at the Park would be cool.

They were the band of my childhood and at age 15 I ran away to Glastonbury, climbed under the fence and arrived in the festival at the campsite overlooking the Pyramid. I ran towards the stage and just as I got in the crowd they started playing Everything Must Go, it was my first moment of Glasto and I will never forget it.

The first and one of the best moments I have had there (on a personal level).

I have seen them possibly 20 times or so altogether and although I have finally managed to control my obsession now to an unarrestable level (I am a straight male and yet the first time I met Nicky Wire I tried to snog him in quite a serious, spontaneous way. He seemed entertained and scared at the same time and started yelling "I'm a married man!") but they still really add something to a lineup that no one else does.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is up for debate but it is something!!! lol

I need an excuse to wear eyeliner, a feather bower and a Culture Slut dress.

If anyone has any news or any sway on this please do what you can to inform and persuade.

Stay Beautiful!

The update email says there are 'more summer festivals to be confirmed'. They seem clear over Glasto weekend so here's hoping!

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By Eugenio · Posted

      https://www.20minutos.es/cataluna/barcelona/primavera-sound-cierra-asistentes-preve-devolver-entradas_6980180_0.html Refunds will only be given to Thursday pass holders, which means only 15,000 people. And last year's attendance was higher than this year's.

      A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.

      Legend Slot candidates 2027

      By sheffinghell · Posted

      I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
