Last night me and my friend were lucky enough to attend the Brit Awards Aftershow Party, where we seen Liam Gallagher going mental over Robbie chatting to his mrs. When we spoke to Liam he said that the band will be releasing their new album and they will be touring it this summer, however he only had bad things to say about playing Glastonbury. This werent the case with Robbie though, he spoke to us and had pictures taken for about 10minutes, we asked about gigging and what he had planned and he said he has been asked to played below Stevie Wonder on the sunday!

He had drunk alot that night so he might of been trying to wind us up, but he seemed genuine and enthused to play. What an amazing night i didnt expect to bump into these two personal icons, especially when they were both the main centres of attention at this years party!

If this is true then he'd be good for a bit of a sing a long I guess, would definitely be popular with the locals and get people in the mood for Stevie Wonder.

As long as Faithless and The Flaming Lips play before U2 and Muse respectively I'm happy with whoever does it on Sunday. :P

I'm hopeful that I might have this verified one way or another before the end of today.

Cool. At the risk of losing the HUGE board cred I've gained over the years, I actually have my fingers crossed for this.

Not that far apart. Now, if you were saying the London Philharmonic followed by Anal C**t, I'd agree with you.* :P

Robbie Williams (well, his music) is a guilty pleasure. I'd definitely go and watch him and have a singalong.

*Disclaimer - please be aware that I am not saying RW is anywhere near the talent and genius of SW, nor that I'd look forward to him anywhere near as much!

cant miss the act that has the potential to be the best headliner in the fests history IMHO

going to have work very hard now on timings, and the minimum i was hoping for was something innofensive before stevie so i could have a couple of beers while the sun went down and get ready to boogie

best laid plans........... :P

Before Sir Paul in 2004, the f**king Black Eyed Peas 'played'. I felt the same way as you do now.

I didn't venture near the main stage during BEP's set, but still managed a quality place in the crowd for (IMHO) the best act - let alone headliner - I have ever seen.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • 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
