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...

    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
    • I wonder if they had that vote again they'd vote differently, seeing how successful other mayors like Burnham have been?
    • Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.
