I don't know, it seems fairly obvious by the Sunday comments that it's on. A little hint there me thinks. Glasto like to end on the Sunday with a bang and a bloody good sing along. Michael E has done well in the past three G's to attract a really big act to finish the fest off, 2009- Blur, 2010 - Stevie and 2011- Bouncie. It would seem rather a let down not to have a band / person who can do that. The Stones seem the obvious choice.

If Mick's at all put off by the rain all he needs to do is to make one phone call. 'David, do you remember that video we did together? I need you to dig through your impressive wardrobe and dig out that amazing mac you wore. I have an upcoming engagement and I think I might need it. I'll sent it back to you properly dry cleaned and everything'.

Hey presto Mick's concerns are sorted.

Now that we've gotten over speculating whether or not the Stones are going to play, can we begin to discuss what a damp squib their performance will actually be?

Their standing in the history of popular music is much greater than their actual talent/performances these days.

All the schoolgirl "Will they!? Won't they!?" gossiping seems to have distracted people from the fact that they're shit live, and even with their back catalogue, a headline slot will leave half the crowd knowingly disappointed, and the other half in steadfast denial that they haven't just wasted their time watching some very embarrassing old men. Neil Young is the definition of a respectable, elder statesmen of rock'n'roll, who can still demolish crowds at will. Jagger et al are a fucking horror show. I think if they play, it probably makes Gaga more likely given their recent duet on '...Shelter', though they've probably got the Florence option too

    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
    • That Wednesday Razzmatazz slot is one of the best/prime slots! 
    • If they fancy chucking something together last knockings, i'm up for it! 😄 Got to get a cat sitter, but i'm 95% there
