Sod this ''best British band of the last 30 years'' nonsense. I sincerely believe they are the best British band of all time, along with New Order and The KLF of course.

Wit, style, panache, politics, heartbreaking melancholy, amazing tunes. Basically they're The Smiths it's ok to like (and dance to, natch).

Live, Tennant's voice is not very strong but when did technical ability come into making great pop music?

And as for the tedious argument about how much of the music is on DAT and how much is played live - who f**king cares? Real music fans, I guess. *shrugs*

As long as it sounds great I couldn't give a toss who wrote it or whether it's being played live or not.

Nice to see them being described as 'aging queens' in this thread though. Really classy insult, that.

They should be putting their cash to better use than booking a popular, successful band that loads of people like? Yeah, you're right, what fools the organisers are. It's almost like they don't know what they're doing? Perhaps this is the first time they've done anything like organising a festival.

Yeah, but there's getting good bands in and then there's pandering. I don't think i want to spend 3 days around people who love the Pet Shop Boys. Call me prejudice but i have a feeling i won't like that sort of person lol.

The type of person with no sophistication. I imagine a Pet Shop Boys Fan would be happy listening to club music and all that other crap with repetitive THUD THUD THUD sounds and prescious little else. The type of person who likes lyrics with no meanings like Robbie Williams' stuff. The type of person who orders a WKD drink at a bar. The kind of person who actually finds fart jokes funny.

And i think the sweeping generalisation that gays like the Pet Shop Boys is very homophobic. :P

      Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.

      Ticket tips and Tricks 2027

      By parsonjack · Posted

      Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....

      I got mine yesterday but they sent the wrong ticket link, so had to email Ticketmaster and get the right one.    As for predictions, hard to see who else could do the Pulp/Sting/Byrne slot other than the Cure, and since they did Isle of Wight they maybe have an FR deal (Sting did both). It’s also the Cure’s 50th next year so imagine they’ll be doing a bigger tour. Pet Shop Boys or Kylie maybe?   Wolf Alice would be a dream. It’ll probably all be men again though.
