well I would strongly disagree with your belief that the likes of oasis or lady gaga will ever be remembered as legendary. I think a modicom of lyrical ability and originality are required to attain legendary status!

We are unlucky enough to be around in the worst musical period for decades. We cant polish the turds that are currently making music and pretend that in 30 years someone like noel gallagher will in fact be considered as genius as leonard cohen for example!

Embrace the mediocrity.

I seem to remember there being quite a bit of commentary at the end of the 80s about what a shit decade it had been for music.

To some extent they had a point but not from where I was standing. It's probably an age thing but I was between 13 and 23 during the 80s so it was I suppose 'my decade' musically.

Having said all that, there was some truly shocking stuff. Particularly anything that cropped up on The Hitman and Her.

And now its back. Have you seen that SAW Festival that's on this year? Sweet Baby Jebus save us!

Yeah, couldn't give two shits if they played. Tyler is a disgrace. Lost all cred for that stunt. Recent shows have been fairly shambolic too by all accounts.

Sure they could go whack out a reasonable greatest hits sing along set interspersed with some crap from their new album, but fairly sure they would just post it in and it would be a pile of shite.

No where near headlining material in my book

I saw them at the marquee club in 1990. Jimmy Page jammed Immigrant Song and Train Kept on Rollin with them. It was immense. Pump is my favourite album of theirs after the reunion.

thinking about it. noel subbing the roses one day looks inevitable. sounds like it worked very well at T and listening to noel now at T who was good you can see why.

i don't think he'll take other stage headline, that'll put him below technically where he can been playing this year and by then new songs will probably be known. willing to almost call the vaccines below him too.

i did think plan b below the roses but change of mind, but i do think plan b will sub one day, could easily sub to GaGa to be honest.

it'd be most un-Glasto-like to have two bands/artists at the top of the bill with the same kind of audience. they normally mix it up a bit.

by the way, when is Noel's album with Amorphous Androgynous due out? i thought it'd have surfaced by now. if it's as experimental as he was hinting then maybe a late night secret gig in Shangri La would be more likely!

    • 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! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
