Yeh, Don't get me wrong I loved Aha Shake Heartbreak, I thought that was a great album but then they sold themselves out with Sex On Fire and Use Somebody and still wonder why they get such rubbish crowds at their festival shows. Then you get people like some of my mates who claim to be "Obsessed" with Kings of Leon when they only know those two tunes.

They were digging their own grave with those 2 songs tbh.

My ha'pence worth. I dont particularly like their music but I do like them and their style and approach and way they have got to where they are today. I for one would head to see them if it was possible. I think they are f**king hilarious.

Record sales mean absolutely nothing when it comes down to talented songwriters. It's always the lesser known bands that write the best material, although some big bands are great.

Pavement, The Breeders, Pixies, The Fall, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and many others trump all over most of the big bands in terms of musical credibility, influence and talented songwiting. In my opinion it doesn't matter how talented an artist is or how many record sales they have achieved, all it comes down to is wether they write good music.

Apologies if I come across as a bit of a hipster in this post but I just want to prove a point

I'm with Lucy on this. I'd definitley head to see them - I think they are funny, and kind of interesting in a "how yoofs think" kind of way.

I love the image I get in my head oof him looking all over facebook for this girl. In the old days, tunes used to talk about searching all over town (or even all over the world) and I'd have an image of seriously frantic, desperate search for the girl of their dreams. With Ndubz I can just see this kid on a computer with his chin resting on his hand, just going click, click, click, "Nah forget it man!"

I got tickets for my stepson to go & see them next week because he loves them (17 year old chavmeister that he is!) & I'd go too if it wasn't for the fact that I cannot think of anything that would make me feel older! They are a seriously young people's band - that doesn't mean all young people will like them - but really - if you're over 20, don't waste any energy not liking them - they're not for you! Glastonbury would be perfect to catch them!

      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)
