efestivals used to pride itself on being 'in the know'. When I heard that U2 had been revealed by......The Sun.....as headlining our premier festival I thought I'd have a read through the Glastonbury board to make sure that efestivals had known all along. But no!

What is going on? Has efestivals had its day?

It is just not possible to compare The Scum to anything as there is nothing on the planet of comparable worthlessness. Hang on, yes there is... my footprint in a week old dog turd - thats just about as comparable. But even that is of far more use and far greater benefit to society than The Scum.

Wha??????

We are not insultiing The Scum... The Scum insulted the 96 families and everyone else that has a droplet of compassion in their body.

Sorry to efestivals regular viewers, I dont want this to turn into another 'Scum' thread but lets not forget the facts people - just had to clarify that. :P

No. :P

Efests is more than just a rumour mill for potential acts as indicated by the forums.

Just because one band announce via their huge massive PR machine that they are going to play means nothing.

The site is so much more than being the firsts with the scoops on who is and who is not playing a festival 7 months from now.

To be fair, whilst it great to know who is playing does it really matter?

I mean its not life or death stuff is it?

No tickets are on general sale so no decisions to be made on whether to go or not. So I really could not care less.

Also the sun is a mainstream media outlet and Efests is not. I am sure the Jurno's and the PR peeps were probably in some bar in London having a beano and got discussing about the summer and it slipped out.

No big deal.......

move along now, nothing to see here...... move along.

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
