Cracking couple of sets in 2009. I'm seeing them in Shepherd's Bush in a couple of weeks; cracking love band. Always a big finish with Death too. Be great to see them back at Glasto. I'm worried that they'll have a 2nd from the top on The Other slot though.

That Pitchfork review is a load of self-congratulatory onanism. What an absolute load of tosh.

On a serious point he just doesn't engage in any review of the album and he obviously hates the band so why be the guy reviewing it?

If I had to review a Take That album I'd obviously want to give it a good slating but you are writing for fans and non-fans so you'd write it with references to their previous work and actually give the reader the notion of what to expect.

Just as there is very little point in reading the album reviews of fanboys there's no point in the 'reviews' of people who've made up their mind before they heard the music they're supposed to be writing about.

Couldn't agree more. The kind of thing that people like to post links to, so they don't have to type it themselves (see above). As I've said above, I loved the last album and am enjoying the current one. Very welcome at Glasto (and the vast majority of people who saw them cover The Boss in 2009 will say the same thing)

I agree. Fair enough if it was a review of the band themselves, or a piece on the. But it really didn't review the album.

(Aside, I very much want Amy Maconald at Glasto this year and to do her Boss cover -

)

Not listened to the new album yet, but really enjoying 'Bigger than us'. Expecting to like the new album. I don't imagine it will be much progression for them, but we shall see.

Met them in London On Monday..

Nice guys, they played a good few songs and the new album sounds pretty awesome :)

But it's the big hitters which make em big really, Death, To lose my life, farewell to the fairground, bigger than us etc..

but it sounds like a good album!

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      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

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
