You don't know him? Really? He's on here all the time. He's like you, actually but cool. He's kind of like Ace to your Arnold. Smoke him a kipper. Whadda guy ... :P

Phew. Nice post. I was worried I was on the going to be on the end of an old carp features vendetta :P

What nick does he does wonderfully well. I think there is an element of "jack of all trades, master of none" about bob dylan.

Although I do have to take exception to this "Jack of All Trades" rubbish. He completely and utterly owned the protest song in every way. You only have to look at Masters of War to see that. He also nailed surrealism and imagery in his lyrics to see that - and you only have to look at Desolation Row to see that. He nailed personal feeling to such an extent that it made Lennon and McCartney wet themselves - you only have to look at th words of Like a Rolling Stones to see that. And if you can think of a better crafted country song than Lay Lady Lay, you are a better man than I.

I love Dylan. He is one of my favourite artists. I saw him at the Roundhouse last year and thought he was amazing. BUT I'm not convinced that he would go down well at Glasto. The fact he will not be playing his songs in the manner and with the tune that people are expecting isn't going to go down too well with a crowd looking for a greatest hits singalong.

Seen Bob 3 times, Love and theft tour 2002 was without doubt the best, he still played the hits in a relatively familiar way and the setlist was floorless, i won't bore you with the details, lets just say he opened with maggies farm, and the last 2 where forever young and like a rolling stone.

However, the second time, still great, not so spellbinding a set though

Then again a few months ago on the latest tour, i was front row, so i was just in shock to be so close to a man who i proclaim to be the god of music, and everything in it. However, i can see how some people [possibly idiots?] may not like him [or understand] the angle which he's coming from.

Personally I think he'll be below u2 on friday, he won't headline, but he'll be the second from the top on the card, if he plays that is.

I would love to see him again, you should all be lucky to be in the presense of dylan, ... however i can't see a glasto dizzee rascal 2009 crowd reacting the same way to things have changed as they do to bonkerrrrs

jesus :P

There's no mention of Glasto on boblinks.com.

6/11/10 Prague, Czech Republic

6/12/10 Linz, Austria

6/13/10 Ljubljana, Slovenia

7/10/10 Venice, Italy - St. Mark's Square (unconfirmed) details

And the thing you posted had Glastonbury in upper case. How strange.

edit : what t0paz said.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
