Would that include certain acts not wanting to play under others i.e we are bigger than them?
nope, it means that Glastonbury's rep would be damaged by sub-standard headliners, which would impact onto future fests.

And when I say "future fests" I'm not meaning just Glastonbury. If Glasto's rep gets damaged then that inflicts damage onto all of the UK festival sector.

Oh come on this sounds too good to be true. You can see all the headlines 'X step in to save the UK Festival scene', 'X play stunning headline set to save Glastonbury', someone will be massively tempted to do it as well as 'get it'. Eavis will wax lyrical about them and chances are it will be one of those sets everyone talks about.

I still think with the amount of big english bands about one of them will have their head turned by the prestige of the slot.

It's pretty clear that if asked, Kasabian would snap his hand off for it. Stepping into a slot pretty much reserved for the biggest out there will defo reap it's rewards.

Bugger it, what does it actually matter if it's a wrong guess anyway. Mumford & Sons to headline on Sunday Night.

    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
    • Didn't they widen the entrance last year to enable them to increase the number of pitches or have I imagined this? Perhaps they might return under a different form of glamping? 
    • It should forever be the Tipi.   Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.
    • It really surprised me that Rock AM Ring made Download feel like an extremely well organised festival with good communication in comparison. If we were to ever try either of them again we would go for IM Park and stop in Nuremberg.     Agree that the long thin mainstage isn't great, but where the mainstage is makes it really hard to navigate when it is busy because of that choke point created by the food vendors, bar/lounges with a view of main and where the crowd is coming form second stage. The concrete is hard on the joints. The front standing is a pisstake and the communication from the fest about what is happening on site other than which campsites are filling up leaves a lot to be desired. Car parks being a free for all doesn't help either.   I think it really suffers being so far from anything other than small towns/villages that lack proper public transport and Koblenz being the closest town which you can can use to get public transport to the fest being 60km away.
    • Yeah its absolutely on me that isn't think Shinia Twain was an awful choice- i get that.  Im still of the paul simon, ELO kind of thoughts but I realise things change. Im still intrigued what constitutes legend though. Robert plant played and he wasn't a legend slot- to me that would have fitted. Is it a ' comedy ' ' good time ' slot now? Comedy isn't the right word - guilty pleasure or something like that?
