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!

    • It sounds like Feeder drew a crowd too big for that stage originally. Given the time period they haven’t appeared at Download as well it's a nostalgia thing. Halestorm vs Feeder wasn't the most ideal but leaving after either to get out would have been sweet at least.
    • You cant see everything unfortunately, it would be Halsey there for me 100%, the last 20/25 of Gorillaz. Halsey would be my non negotiable act on that day myself. Oddly Bleech 9:3 would actually give me an option I wouldn't mind between 3:15pm and Halsey. Dogstar would only likely be a 10 minutes thing of I've seen Keanu lol.
    • I think the tent was just right for Feeder, on that day anyway.   If you had a Biffy-esque day again, or someone of that ilk (maybe Pearl Jam for example), whack them on that main stage. 100%.    As it is, I think feeder will be back and probably high up the second stage or main stage next year or 2028. 
    • I think we still have 2 acts to announce each day, maybe one more big name to complete the lineup?   Perhaps the big name is Turnstile on Thursday, which isn't sold out yet. And some other names that could be added like Iceage, Band of Horses or Tomora.
    • Saw David Gray 8 times between 2000 and 2025 (including one solo acoustic performance in Wexford, IE, 2017) and he always delivered. I enjoyed every show, never felt bland or let down an iota. To each their own. Yeah, it’s just that he’s not your cup of tea I’m afraid.   Agree that David is a bad dancer though lol.
