Kasabian are a band that make me think, "meeeeeyyyhmmmmmmnnnnnoooooyeeeeaaaahmaaaayyybeeeeyyeeeeahhhh they're a bit.... mmmmmmnyeeeeahhh..."

What I don't like about Kasabian the most is how the NME or Radio 1 look to them as the saviours of modern music when otherwise the rest of the musical world is mundane as hell, then thrusts them in front of me and waves them around like a severed head telling me that I should notice them or face the risk of being uncool. It makes me resent them. It's like how - if somebody corners you in the shopping centre and asks you to sign up to LoveFilm.com - just f**k off.

"The whole 20 years Nirvana thing" is completely irrelevant. Why would they want Dave Grohl there for that? Most of the people going to Leeds and Reading aren't even 20 years old let alone there to really give a shit about the impact Nirvana made back when they were the only band that mattered so why should they celebrate it?

Besides which, I'd rather have my CD's, YouTube performances, bootlegs and own early memories of Nirvana than take a gimmicky Dave Grohl cover of a Kurt Cobain song. Foo Fighters are established enough with their own songs to ignore such stupid requests.

I understood that, I just don't understand the importance or relevance of some bullshit 20th anniversary and why it's essential that Dave Grohl be there for it. By that logic we'd have the No WTO Combo as sub-headliners - which would actually be cool.

Judge the bands based on their own merit rather than the importance of some disingenuous anniversary that nobody gives a shit about anyway, least of all Dave Grohl.

First line-up:

Groove Armada don't play live anymore, Foals would never play below BBC, I really can't see Beastie Boys subbing, that placing of Warpaint is massively out of genre and can't see Seasick or Hold Steady playing that low.

Second line-up:

Can't see Good Charlotte playing that low, or in that line-up, The Enemy, MGMT and The Drums seem massively out of place on the main stage in that line-up, can't see Iron headlining, Beastie's subbing or XX headlining NME.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.
