Man that was just cruel at last fm.

Was it? Or was it merely daft of you to think there was anything to it?

You'd have more chance of the made-up entries on wikipedia for any fest prior to its announcement being right - at least they have a history of occasionally getting the odd band right (even if it's only 1 in thousand), whereas as far as I'm aware there's never ever been a correct one written up onto last.fm.

I agree Last fm have usally got it right didn't they get Kiss for download 2008 weeks before anyone , they are more reliable than strong rumours on efestivals i.e Eminem Wireless, Van Halen and Metallica Download 2010, Ac/dc Strong rumour Hardrock Calling 2009.

It did apear quite relistic with tour dates e.t.c.

This is the very first time I've heard anyone say last'fm rumours are more reliable.

We get sent what last.fm users have written into pages for nearly every fest - and I've yet to see even one act that's been right.

Well I shall still get my info from efest as a lot of what goes on turns out true - lastfm have been wrong a lot I can tell you. There was supposed to be a lot of BB King events when he was over last year - funnily enough if I hadn't seen him at the NIA I'd have been mega disappointed as nothing turned up!

Like I said don't count your chickens until they've hatched to save disappointment.

Right, that means we only have 1 week left of this wild speculating/rumour spreading/random guessing fun until next year! :P

Opinions people!

3 acts you want/think could be headliners on the Saturday, and 3 other acts you want/think could be added as support on the Saturday/Sunday (I'd say Friday is complete, apart from the smaller stages).

Mine:

Saturday headliner:

1) Stevie Wonder

2) Simon & Garfunkel

3) David Gilmour (I know, I know, but he's my "want" to play)

Other acts:

1) John Fogerty (Sunday)

2) Crowded House (Saturday)

3) Pixies (...?!...)

Let's hear 'em!!! :P

    • 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
