would love to see them there, but more likely for R+L i reckon.

I'm starting to think from some of the posts appearing here that the pop-kids have moved the normal Reading crowd on from Reading to Glastonbury. Many of the posts look like people want Glastonbury to be Reading, and frankly, that would spoil Glastonbury.

Something Noel Gallagher/Jay-Zish about that statement...

:( - I guess you're right.

That's not quite what I meant tho. Where I'm coming from is that most of the suggestions people are making just now are very much the sorts of acts you'd definitely expect to see at Reading (or even Download - Glastonbury traditionally doesn't have much rock & metal, and there's been lots of posts for metal too).

It's not that I'm thinking any particular band isn't entitled to play at Glastonbury, it's the proportion of Reading-type acts that are being suggested (and all very obvious ones too - c'mon, at least be a little more imaginative :P).

The beauty to me of Glastonbury is its diversity, and if the current suggestions being made on these forums was followed thru on on a proportional basis, it would lose that in a big way and would be musically far nearer to Reading than the Glastonbury we're used to.

So I'd like to think I'm not being Noel-styleeee narrow minded. But do feel free to disagree. :(

Pretty sure Weezer played in 95 the first year I was there. I vaguely remember them playing mid afternoon on the Other Stage (or was it the NME stage back then?). I'm sure they clashed with Jamiroquai and there was only a smattering of people there (I'm not sure why I ws there to be honest).

Everyone looked bored to tears by them until they played 'Buddy Holly' and then everyone suddenly woke up.

    • If anyone spots any new tour posters on site could they share them please? Hoping for ADTR and Electric Callboy tours
    • It completely depends on how that count is done   if it’s individuals entering the arena each day, over the whole weekend, it was at 30% capacity and in no way one of the highest attended festivals in the UK   it was in no way as low as 30% though so that can’t be the measure, so as a number, with no context, “90,000” is meaningless.   Only one category of Leeds ticket seems to have moved on to second tier pricing at this point. I don’t think this is necessarily a sales indicator as much as a method to keep prices up north lower than down south but with this and the anecdotal video evidence, it’s clear Leeds has been nowhere near its capacity (of 90,000/ day) the last 2-3 years   
    • £56 - £118 was the price range.   Which for an arena show, dare I say it, felt "okay" in this environment.
    • I’m sure someone said on here months back that they self confirmed at one of their gigs, like late last year
    • Yeah Kurt Vile keeps growing on me more and more. DCFC I found solid enough but relatively forgettable unfortunately.
