Doh!! That was me reading 'stone' and not anything else. :lol:

That was meant to be me making The Rolling Stones as rumoured for Sunday. Despite the denial, I can't and won't take that denial as being believable. On top of that, I now have a bit of extra info.

Meanwhile, I also have some new Roses info. They're now marked as a strong rumour.

I really dislike the Stone Roses. Would hope for a good JP or Park headliner if they were on (suspect they will be).

Never really got into the Stones. My dad's music went Beatles...Zepplin... PUNK!!!!!!!!!!! so I was never introduced and never really bothered with them

I've not read much of the thread, so soz for any repetition, but on 6 music yesterday, they were banging on about the Rolling Stones having taken one of the headline slots.

Some interesting quotes from Emily Eavis:

http://www.spotify.com/us/blog/archives/2012/06/20/our-interview-with-emily-eavis/

"Yesterday, someone big who we’ve really wanted for ages got in contact and so now we’re trying to negotiate the deal, to explain why we can’t offer millions of pounds, but we really want it to happen."

"Definitely M. Ward - and Bon Iver’s coming back. I really love what he does and he headlined The Park, so we’ll definitely try and get a slot for them. Every couple of months we do a playlist and put together the highlights of what we’ve been listening to."

"The obvious ones are Prince and The Stones, both of which would obviously be great. There was a lot of talk of Prince last year, but I don’t know if that will ever happen, to be honest. The same with the Stones, but it’s hard for us to accommodate people that are used to doing their own thing, but, you know, that was OK for Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney! We can make anything work, we just need the band to be up for it. And obviously we just pay a lot less, but we offer other things!"

Bon Iver news definitely puts a smile on my face.

Bon Iver would be other stage headliner maybe? Just announced a arena tour for October and headlining latitude this year.

Who do you think will be subbing out of curiousity? I think Pulp would be a great sub, especially for Stone Roses, symmetry wise.

They're still bizarrely popular with (and I dislike this phrase but it's the easiest way of conjuring the mental image) people who don't really like music ("Oh, you know, I like everything")

And there is usually a very high quotient of said types at the pyramid

The Killers? Does anyone care about them anymore? :blink:

They were dreadful when they first appeared, and have only gone downhill ever since.

    • Muse new album out soon , European tour announcement for Nov and Dec, no Spanish date and north American tour starts in July and in North America for all of July and August. So primavera and Glastonbury 
    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city!
