...and lots of other cheesy pop acts over the years!

All played, all got pretty bloody big audiences, shitloads of people whinged incessantly for f**king months about all of them...these artists STILL PLAYED and noone got hurt!

If it means that a large tranche of the ever increasing numbers of kids (and their parents that attend with them) have something to go and see and that they are going to really enjoy then why the f**k not eh?

Lady Gaga pulled in a f**king huge audience and HOW long did the bitching go on for here?

Ditto for Jay Z! Both were pretty stunning performances that had the press and the audiences very surprised and thousands of folk had an awesome time.

Rihanna playing Glastonbury is an inspired idea. Didnt see anyone complaining about similar single female artists such as VV Brown, Gabriela Cilmi, Roisin Murphy. All have more or less one big sing along hit. Why...this girl is a superstar and ahem...a bit hiphop/R&B...does it warrant the bullshit reaction that is laid down by some folk!

A decent 6pm slot on Friday/Saturday. Lily was brilliant in that slot this year ...reckon Rihanna will be too!

I can assure you I complained about the acts you mention.

Oh and as for that list of cheesy pop acts, they are a bunch of utter anuses listened to only by cretins.

"I would love to be there," she said. "Even if I’m not headlining I’d love to be there. It's a great festival and a great platform for me to be on."

I'd quite like to nail her, as she's insanely fine.

But this, no. Im not having. No way. I dont care how stunning you are love, you're never going to headline our festival. 'A great platform for ME to be on'. RAGE.

Glastonbury tries to represent differnet cultures and religions as best they can.

But you seem to be a person who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about so you wont understand that. One of those "Glastonbury is too commercial" types.

Actually - wasn't it her Umbrella song that cursed the netire summer of 2007? The rain started the week it went to Number 1 and miraculously stopped the week it was knocked off.

I think I can say that for her contribution to the most persistently wet Glastonbury anyone can remember, she really shouldn't be allowed any where near the place.

As I have said, I am all for variety, but I am not sure Rhianna is a risk we can take - No Rain No Compromise!!

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.

      UK Politics

      Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.

      Top Ten ‘Must See’ Acts

      Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
