Deftones are probably better than any band rumoured for Glasto thus far.
perhaps, but they're not better than hundreds of non-landfill bands that Glastonbury will have.

You can get landfill anywhere. I personally don't understand why anyone would waste their time there watching the same bands they could see in a dozen other places.

"I personally don't understand why anyone would waste their time there watching the same bands they could see in a dozen other places."

This is true Neil to a certain extent. Though i for one have been extremely strapped this year and have set G as the one festival i will go to this year, and nothing before as i am having to save up for it. I would normally go to see some gigs before, thus i will miss Foals and I am kloot on tour too name just two that might perform. The G line up gives me a chance to see some of them. Also others live in far flung places that don't have the amount of venues as a London or other big city and have to travel, thus add expense etc. In an ideal world we would all love to just "pop along" to our local venue and watch our fave band, not always possible.

I assume he meant festivals, rather than venues. Purely due to the depth of the Glastonbury line up, there's hundreds of acts you wouldn't see anywhere else, where as you don't get that at R&L.

The only thing that has really attracted me to Reading since the first time I went is exclusives. If there's an act I'm desperate to see, and know I can't see anywhere else, such as The Cure last year, I'd go.

Sorry if that's the case :) , i wouldn't go to Reading, i don't think it carries the variety of Glastonbury, i doubt you would wander as you do at G and find some gems. Also as said before , when the line up comes out it's great fun to look at some of the artists playing that you had not heard of or wouldn't otherwise and find some gems. I saw The Strange Boys in the Park by finding them on the rumour page, also saw The Villagers there . I love it once it all comes together,i can spend hours online listening and gearing myself up for the festival :)

Reading some glasto facepalm worthy tweets;

"I've heard that they've booked destinies child to headline glastonbury, seeing as beyonce did glastonbury last year"

"I love glastonbury, coldplay play every year".

"Stupid People buying glasto tickets officially, ebay is where it's at"

"Fleetwood mac are 100% headlining, I'm certain about this!".

Stop the world I want to get off...

    • Yeah was via this
    • They appear to say on their IG posts that you can combine two discounts (so yes) but not three ie you cant also claim the resident discount.

    • Bracketology: predict a path to World Cup victory | World Cup 2026 | The Guardian   One if anyone wants to give it a shot. Though most of mine produce France or Spain winning it. Choosing a random winner on shuffle mode and creating scenarios where Curacao win was quite fun though.
