Probably. Not really a. Fan, but unlike other bands I criticise I can see why people like them. Musicly they're sound, I just don't like Matt Bellamy's vocals. Plus his name is Bellamy so he reminds me of that money grabbing Welsh c*nt currently plying his trade on the blue side of Manchester.

I like muse live but dont think they will ever beat the perfomrnace of the year they played second headliers to the foos in the rain. To me muse isnt a bad choice but they seem to be on a list of rotating festival headliners with arctic monkeys, kings of leon and the killers. Wouldnt mind seeing some new headliers although I can understand from a busines spoint of view why they go for the safe options.

Does it not depend on how many festivals you have been to though?

I know it must be boring in a way to see the same over and over again, but they have to cater for people who have not been to many festivals.

If a person chooses to go to one festival for four/five years in a row you wouldn't expect to see the same headline act two times, yeah maybe sub-headliner to headliner. But if you go to many festivals year in year out it is obvious that you will bump into these regular headline bands as either all the festivals want them or they are the only available.

If you are gonna bump into these bands regular and your still attending the festivals regardless then watch music on the other stages, I spent a lot of time this year moving from stage to stage to see bands and was impressed by the majority of what I saw.

You might in a few years be watching these bands headline, and it feels more intimate on these stages

Some bands dont play near many people often enough and festivals are the only way to see them.

without wishing to turn this into a footy debate,its a bit unfair to call craig bellamy a money grabber.for all his flaws,aside from getting arrested/getting thrown out of nightclubs/abusing people/acting arrogant,etc.he usually leaves a club cos he's fallen out with his manager/assaulted a team mate/slagged of the club/fans/etc and not just for a pay rise(unlike the rest of man citys signings)

as i said,not a pleasant character but also not a moneygrabber(tho he prob did have a massive pay rise every time he moved clubs,ha ha)

I cant help but feel a tad gutted about the new album too, it just takes a few listens to get used too.

Also i reckon now that The Libertines have been ruled out there is an even bigger chance that Muse will take one of the headline slots, possibly the Sunday. :)

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
