Very good source - gets lots of insider stuff because of the job he does (can't say what) but usually for events run by the big promoters e.g. he told me about Pulp at Wireless weeks before it was announced and got most of the Isle of Wight announcements right before they were public. However one of his longstanding contacts is now working helping the Glastonbury team negotiate with the larger acts, which is where his info comes from. He reckons Primal Scream and the Chems are 99% certain to happen and the Libs is 50/50.

My source who shared with me the Primal Scream tip tells me that the Chemical Bros are nailed on for the Saturday on the Other Stage and......wait for it.............drumroll...............negotiations are advanced for The Libertines to headline Sunday as one of a maximum of only two summer festival shows. This would suggest that the Pyramid Stage headliner on Sunday must be pretty big (probably a bigger draw than Pulp - who I love - would be)? :ph34r:

It was the biggest anticlimax of the weekend. I'm not a massive fan but I do think they have a few tunes, but there was no drama at all, no "OH MY GOD IT'S THE RETURN OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST BRITISH BANDS OF THE DECADE", no passion and it was full of typical Leeds goers jumping about and pushing the crowds. And it seemed to go on forever.

Probably didn't help it was in between Serj and Arcade Fire, but it was the perfect definition of mediocrity.

I guess I just never cared enough during their heyday to actually get excited about the prospect of seeing them; to me it really just was another gig. I saw Pete Doherty at Hop Farm earlier in the year and actually enjoyed that more. Maybe expectations were just lower.

Nevertheless, it's a great draw for Glasto if they are headlining the other stage. It also leads me to think that it will actually be Prince on the Sunday. The kids get their teen-party soundtrack band and the adults get their 80s disco fix!

If it was the three of them I'd probably only go see Primal Scream, I'll catch The Chemical Brothers at Rockness and I'm not too fussed about seeing The Libs again. Strong set of headliners if true.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
