Been waiting for this ever since I first ever visited Glasto 14 years ago! Sorry folks!

What a strange start to a thread!

Anyway, Quo will be superb - a great load of party tunes in the blazing sunshine with a cold cider in hand.

And remember - your in the army now.

Looking forward to this, fun+1.

Has anyone else read that Harry Hill book called Flight from Deathrow?

The talk of Status Quo has made me think of it. In the book a visiting Chinese government official is desperate to get his hands on the latest Status Quo album (as it was never available in China) and ends up riding his landlady to Tower Records and going crazy there.

This stuff about Status Quo playing Glastonbury is all a joke yeah? With all the stuff about Dad rock and that, they wouldn't really put on a bunch of coke addled knobs who can only play 3 chords would they? Surely not? Seriously?

3 chords?? why not, it's rock n roll... how many do you need?

Caroline, Down Down, Rockin' All Over The World, Whatever You Want, Again and Again.... and a few others (but please, NOT In The Army, or Livin On An Island or anything newer than 20 years old really...)

play those (^above) songs, and tell me you don't want to see them :rolleyes:

I didn't expect Quo. Looking forward to them.

This thing about three chords is absolute tosh. Sure, a few songs are based on a a three chord 12 bar boogie - Junior's Wailing for example, but on the whole there's as much variety in the songs as bands like AC/DC and the Stones. One of the trickiest songs I've ever played live is Whatever You Want which has a drop D tuning and a solo over a very unusual chord sequence. Really, the only thing you can say about Quo is they always deliver and they make you want to jump around like a gorilla on speed.

Never really been a quo fan as such, but every song is bound to be a crowd pleaser, easy to sing along to no matter how drunk you are, and a band who've been playing these songs long enough to be damned near perfect by now :D

I'll be there I reckon, though Sunday is going to be a real guilty pleasure day!

Not that I really agree with the expression "guilty pleasure", I mean if you get pleasure out of something then why feel guilty just because your mates are too snobby to give it a try - they might look cool, but you're the one getting all the pleasure!

I reckon out of 150,000 punters there will be a decent Quo army there plus a few new recruits. I've always been a bit of a rocker (Motorhead, Sabbath etc) and Quo albeit a tad lighter will and do deliver everytime. Not to be missed.

What time and where anyway?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
