I thought it was the same weekend too. I always viewed that as a good thing, easier to get a big act into town if they can play two shows (= 2 pay cheques) rather than just one. I think it would help a lot when trying to attract acts from abroad like Stevie etc.

Why do people think arctic monkeys would even be thought of as a sub? Any uk festival they step foot on they headline, whether you disagree with me or not they are still VERY popular with the kids. If they are at glastonbury. They are headlining.

Arctics won't sub at GLASTO , don't mind if stones do HRC on Sunday, at least we get to see them when they are fresh not knackered. This HRC / GLASTO rumour is not a new rumour, I'm sure the press have picked up on it.

So it's more likely

Arctics

Stones

Mumford

Yep you've nailed it.

I love radiohead, and they are proper private school poshos.

The studies that have been undertaken are incredibly simple: compare the music charts from 2010 to that of 1960/70/80/90.

The results show, undeniably and unequivocally, that privately educated acts/people from prestigious academies now dominate the charts.

The reason for this is for 2 reasons:

1. The music industry is dominated by a snobbish culture

2. due to all the cuts, working class kids have little or no access to musical instruments, places to practice etc compared to private school kids

    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
    • Maybe you need a groovy mayor who can get you the money.   Anyway, looks like mayors going to get a whole load of fiscal devolution and greater powers...so best everyone gets one, a decent one, and get a load of Madchesterism.
