No he isn't. Pol Pot was a disgusting human being. Stalin was a disgusting human being. RW is an overrated performer who has struck it lucky.

For the very many people who lost people close to them of the cancer, it's not even worth a throwaway line.

Even by your low low standards, that's going a bit too far.

Considering the crowds for Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen over the last few years, the Pyramid Stage would be rammed, 80k+ for Robbie Williams. I like him actually, wouldnt really listen to him or anything but hes harmless.

If we start talking about Kanye West, well now, thats a different story.

So long as you don't take him seriously I think RW would be a good laugh and get a great crowd behind him

He obviously attracts a lot of passioned comment, I've already today learned the expressions "Cockfarmer", Cockcobbler" and "Do a Kylie" - I'm always amazed what I learn on here

If he plays I'll certainly see him for a laugh - then I hope to finish off the festival with a massive set from the Chemical Brothers

Come on!!!!

I've not had time to read through all the comments so sorry if this has already been mentioned: I saw that Ian Wright hosted show on Channel 5 last night and two guys who blagged their way into the Brits and met Robbie (photo proof) said he left after 20 mins with his gf. He was not drinking alcohol because he is tee total. So how you met him and had this conversation with him when he was drunk is a complete mystery to me............. :P

guess what, bad things happen evey day.

Would it have been acceptable for me to say "I hope he gets run over and breaks his legs"? Or might that offend someone who knows someone who got run over?

Get a grip of yourself.

:P why is everyone getting sand in their knickers over an unsubstantiated rumour that amounts to a man in the pub story? it might well be true, but i'd like to see the op's photos of the evening to add some weight.

though that might slow down a good bunfight on what's bound to be a slow weekend.

carry on!

I've not lost my grip. I'm calmly and rationally demonstrating to you the reality of such an illness. And showing you what you are wishing on someone - for no other reason that you don't like that person's music.

I think it's you who hasn't got a grip. What you should have posted is "I'd rather he didn't play".

See?

You reaction to is laughably over the top. Guess what, I dont actually have the power to inflict cancer on someone.

You avoided answering my question too.

Why is cancer the special taboo that we can never mention?

I dislike his personality more than I dislike his music by the way.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
