I can't see gaga only doing the other stage, she can shift tickets like no one else in the world at the moment

someone exciting like the rolling stones would be good (are they going ahead with the 'final' tour or what?) - the U2 radiohead kylie rumours sound so dull!

but as mentioned before, I also couldn't care less

If you stick Lady Ga Ga on the same time as U2 for example I'm sure the crowd wouldn't be ridiculously large.

Lady GaGa is bigger at the moment but doesn't have the general appeal (eg. old, young, gay, straight, kids) whereas Kylie does and she also has a massive back catalouge of hits to go to.

They pretty much ban themselves from singing live. Hayseed Dixie told a great anecdote about them at a giig recently about a Norwegian TV show they both did. Take That asked the Hayseed lads what they were doing after the show, whether they were going out drinking or not. They said sure, we've lined up an impromptu gig in a local bar and they are paying us in all the beer we can drink for the night, why not join us? The look of horror on the Take That group's face gave them their answer. They never perform live, unless it is choreographed and stage-managed to the nth degree. Hayseed Dixie even did a rendition of one of Take That's songs and said they'd accompany them, but got shot down.

I'd probably have watched Take That minus Robbie, out of curiosity. With him involved I'll be as far away as possible.

All I ask is this: once the Pyramid headliners are announced, wouldn't it be lovely if not one single person on this board complained about a single one of them, or said "they're not headlining material", or "it's not U2/The Rolling Stones/Spinal Tap", or ANYTHING like that, and simply said "not really my cup of tea, I'll just have to watch one of the 30-odd other acts on at the same time, or go and have some fun somewhere". That's going to happen this time, right?

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
