Released two solid albums. A fantastic live act. If you drop the pretense for a second and actually admit they are perfectly fine. They are a band who were incredibly popular, sold out arenas, and released a modern classic album. I realise it's uncool to like them now but f**k it.... They were/are an entertaining act who released some belting tunes.

Ah why not. I'd be happy to see them there, as has been said don't take themselves too seriously and put on a good show, hell yeah, lets have it... Just dusted off "Permission to Land" for a little bit of reminiscing... Don't think I'd get in my spandex to see them any more though, I'll leave that to the band

I liked them. Had some fun catchy tunes, never took them seriously. In terms of actual musicianship and instrumentation I thought they were quite talented. Admittedly Justin Hawkins is a bit of a cock but most frontmen are...

Obviously there's no way they'd headline now, but 2nd or 3rd on the bill would be spot on.

You obviously didnt see them when they headlinerd leeds then. I and everybody else there really thought "right the jokes gone too far, please leave the stage"

Infact I left half hour before the end so I could get a good spot for dirty sanchez. They was THAT bad

2 points to be made here.....

1) I have in no way defended R/L choice to have them as headliners so early on.

2) Who's the bigger idiot. The band being paid millions to play a gig? Or the guy who sat a stage to watch a band who he doesn't like, was bored of, and had plenty of alternatives to?

      I am very possibly wrong about this but I do think that the pitch you get allocated appears to be related to your time of arrival, (i.e. you get the next one available) rather than the price you paid for a small, medium or large pitch.  They all appear to be the same size to me.

      Liddle: "Drop a small nuclear bomb on Glastonbury to immediately remove from our country almost everybody who is hugely annoying.”   Farage: Free speech!    Polanski: accepts a collaboration on 20 innocuous looking set of photos on instagram but doesn't notice that one that says 'making plans for Nigel' with a guillotine image.   Farage: I expect the MET police to arrest him.

      I take my lad to the local non-league club - Royston Town - not he's 13, he goes there with his mates and he plays in their youth team.  Not many people there - lucky if they hit 800, but lovely supporting the town team.  I've took him to some league clubs too - Cambridge and Stevenage are great to visit and not crazy prices - his first one was Cambridge v Sunderland (I'm a mackem) when they were in league 1, so a great experience for him.  The England matches aren't too bad value either at Wembley - it's just the parking that stings you. Problem is, he's a City fan, so at some point have to bite the bullet and get him up to the Ethiad. Have done the tour, but he'd love a proper game....my wallet, less so!

      Said it before, but if Annie Lennox is available next year, then it would be an absolute crime to instead book anyone else. She's rare and legendary enough that you drop all other plans.
