No need for the sarcasm, I've been going to Leeds for years and know exactly what the festival is about.

So you think BBC are far too high at R/L, but at T they are low because of the festival's pop base? Not because their lineup is stronger?

Met Lower Than Atlantis at Takedown festival yesterday. Asked them if they will be at R&L and I got a maybe with a cheeky wink. That's either a confirmation, or he really liked me..

The Stone Roses are the single most important British band since The Beatles. Frank Gallagher said it on Shameless, it must be true ;) joking aside, I think they are easily in the Top 5 British bands of all time in terms of impact and influence.

It's an interesting argument but it would never have a definitive or proven answer as it would always depend on those involved. The same argument with different people could produce wildly different results.

I obviously don't :L I was just saying what i thought, which I now except as being wrong, no need to get arsey about it really. The Stone Roses are above Oasis though. Oasis are one of my favourite bands ever, but The Beatles + The Stone Roses=Oasis :L just kidding. But even Liam said that without going to see The Stone Roses he wouldnt have been in a band.

I think you could make the argument that Oasis were just as influential and had just as much of an impact as The Stone Roses, if not more. It's not a particularly pleasant thing to consider and it's galling given that without the Roses there'd be no Oasis, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
