Prodigy last year. Average I thought. But in mitigation, I was very tired by the Sunday and had the raging trots, so maybe it was just my mood. Soooooo wish I'd gone with my gut and watched Blur.

The Prodigy in 2009...what a bunch of butt munchers...they seemed to forget it was a festival crowd, not their personal gang of warriors. The sound was also mighty crappy.

I’ve only been to a couple of Glasto’s but for me it was The Fleet Foxes last year. Especially since I think I could have been watching Paolo’s secret performance at the time (and probably should have since he’d got us backstage). Maybe had more to do with the fact that I instantly went off their album when I got back from the festival.

Pronghorn at Club Dada last year. Thought it would be a good starter for the festival, but left half way through (along with most of the back of the tent) bored s**tless.

wow, see i really enjoyed the prodigy! such a good end to the weekend! There was a sort of 50:50 split in my group between prodigy & blur and at the end everyone thought they'd made the right decision.

I'd have to say... eagles of death metal. Too early, plus i wasn't at the front - i think thats why

but i walk away from that very underwhelmed, especially cos i saw them at reading in 08 and they were amazing!

      I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.

      MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.

      2027 Headliners

      By henry bear · Posted

      Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others

      From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”

      Glastonbury 2027 ticket price predictions

      By dumski · Posted

      I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
