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

      Slam Dunk 2027

      By northernangel · Posted

      This!   Biffy Clyro I don't think would ever get asked, I just don't think it us their scene and it certainly wouldn't be a wise move for them after how the Finsbury Park show went. If they ever had a chance of regaining or staying a bit higher up taking Slam Dunk isn't how you do it. For the cost of it now I think being into the main headliner does make a difference though.

      Sabrina I actually think is alright, but as an overall thing including Fontaines in the mix it does look very boring.

      I went to the O2 show as had cheap NHS tickets. I did love the whole Machine Gun Kelly vs MGK Emo/Pop Punk stuff amusing and could see that show going down well. I thought it was so funny watching the video skits of a die hard old skool fan gradually morphing in to an Emo Kid. That show with less old Machine Gun Kelly tunes and more MGK Pop-Punk would be ace.   Pair him against a heavy act on the other stage and jobs a goodun,

      Not sure if this is allowed, but I have an additional daily ticket which I’m willing to sell for a heavily reduced price. If you, or someone you know wants to go that day, but wouldn’t for the original price, let me know.    Edit: It’s for Friday
