As someone else said, you won't need to miss Stevie to watch this retard. I got a good place to see Macca in 04 despite avoiding Black Eyed Peas, who were on before them. Wasn't tricky to get a good spot either.

So? I've never really understood this obsession with people having written their own songs. Surely it's better to play good songs you haven't written than shit ones you wrote yourself.

I blame the beatles

Robbie is an entertainer, he appears to be a very charismatic performer who is able to get the crowd going in (dare I say it) a similar fashion to Freddie Mercury.

Unfortunately Robbie can't sing well, and the songs which are written for him are lowest common denominator pop shite, so I will probably soaking up a sunset set at the JazzWorld Stage before a gentle stroll in to position for Stevie.

Mate have you been watching lots of the Winter Olympics coverage per chance? I think all their talk of "double poling" has got you carried away :P

Aaaaaaaah, I see what you mean.

Feign sickness. Tell her that because of a decidely dodgy seafood and noodle dinner mixed with a pint of ale that's on the turn, you need to visit a long drop - and QUICK.

Simple - a 90 minute absence that could be spent doing something you like.

Just don't forget the 'awww, I haven't missed him, have I?' when you get back. And don't forget to look pale.

Ironically, even though my wife isn't coming this year, she would be as far away from RW as possible whilst I will be watching him (IF he plays of course). She's very jealous about Stevie though. And The Boy LOVES clapping to Sir Duke.

If it came about that he was to play......

I would be there like a shot.

Also for Take That.

I think he is an entertainer and that's what draws me

Same with Take That

Music snobbery aside from the 90's when I would laugh...Oh I would laugh when my female friends all creamed to the boys and followed them around like sheep (one in particular who did more than just followed them :P )

Now in my elder statesman years I appreciate a good show and they give a good show.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
