Well, for the past few years she's looked at the line-up and the first thing she says to me is, "oh the line-up's shit this year, isn't it?"

And I sort of explain to her that it isn't.

Her next response is, "well, I don't like how you have to register to get a ticket - you have to sign up and show you're not a terrorist to get in"

So I explain to her that it's to stop touting, and to stop people on eBay charging even more for tickets than their original price on a site like eBay. It's a good idea.

She then followed my response by saying, "yeah, I know but they started it the year they started putting on shit music"

In others words, she can't really justify her opinions and she's going along with the popular vote - it's like how it's trendy to criticise Michael McIntyre (fairly, in my opinion); she does this too but can't really justify why he's so shit because she hasn't heard anybody else's opinions on WHY he is so shit.

I'm having a domestic on here by myself, aren't I?

The only reason I chose Leeds over Glastonbury was because she had reservations about Glastonbury and had been speaking about going to Leeds for ages, so I decided to get her tickets for her birthday. Her first choice was Oxegen but when I worked out the logistics of the thing, it was just a bit impossible for this year for both of us. So Leeds it was (after coming here and asking).

If it was up to me, I'd be going to the Supersonic Festival and ATP this year but I don't think she'd enjoy seeing Swans or Teenage Fanclub as a birthday present.

      Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.

      2027 Headliners

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
