2013 Headliners

Yes huge fan. I've a few of her LPs too. Court and Spark, For the Roses, Hissing of the Summer Lawns, Hejira. Ladies of the Canyon though is utterly sublime, emotional, devastating, beautiful, glorious and otherworldly stuff. I'm not really mad on anything after (and including) Don Juans Reckless Daughter. She went off on the jazz/rock buzz from that point on.

SeventhOne - I love some of the dirty 90s stuff. Just not the 80s. Its production. I hate 80s production. No growl in it at all. And the drums are appalling on most of his 80s stuff. Sounds like it was made on a Casio keyboard. Same for the bass.

Also, Van Halen are 70s rock!!

I highly doubt Eavis still puts up personal money for Glastonbury still. I assume Glastonbury Festivals Limited is a social enterprise, with tax breaks etc, which would mean all loans are against a company rather than a person.

but it's a company that essentially doesn't have an assets - it's an exceedingly bad risk loan on that basis.

The company that runs efestivals has assets of (just) above £5k, but I was required to give a 'personal guarantee' (making me, and not the company, ultimately liable) in order for my bank to give me a £5k overdraft facility.

I doubt that any bank nowadays is giving out £15M on a totally unsecured basis.

See Mumford and Sons are headlining Bonaroo 2013 in June in a great line-up. Finally can we accept that they are seen as headline material for the big festivals. I know nothing of their music but it seems they are indeed a band of the moment!

my daughter is studying Music at the moment, and IDM was brought up. I asked her what it was. Lemon Jelly came up...

Atoms For Peace give IDM a bad name (before they've started).

It sounds like it might have been great fun creating it... presuming everyone's off their heads.

Is Dizzie Rascal like an English favourite or something? Because first time i heard of him was when Bonkers came out that was also the last time until he was at the Olympics i remember sitting thinking why are they giving him all this time he had one song out. Now he's been announced for T in the Park and by the looks of things he doesn't look as though he is going to be very high up. This is the first time i've mentioned anything about him and i've been very confused by the way everyone has been treating him like a headliner i just don't get it.

Ive had a trawl back through this thread but cant see a comment on why Mumford have been upgraded to strong rumour.

Is it on anything credible, or purely on lots of chatter about it? Ie Has the efestivals fella (Neil?) had something substantial suggesting it

    • When are  the stage splits ??  
    • 13th Primavera (Thursday was definitely making me feel like this was the cursed year).  Blood Orange was such a party by the end of their set but we all knew that rain storm was approaching.  So gutted Massive Attack didn't play after the false hope of a new rescheduling, especially knowing that Elizabeth Fraser & Horace Andy were backstage with them!  Managed a bit of Melt Banana but was just so over the weather by that point.   Friday was awesome, Rilo Kiley were so much fun.  Never been the biggest Cure fan but made the effort for them after Thursday & Robert Smith sounds like he did back in the 80s.  PinkPantheress & Viagra Boys were also great.   The highlight for me was Sudan Archives on the Saturday, she was stunning & with the Olivia Rodrigo surprise set too it made up for the Thursday sh*t show.  Dijon & Knocked Loose also superb.   Shoutout to Cardiacs on the Tuesday too, they were so LOUD, played a storming set.    
    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
    • watching clips of the cure in Barcelona, wow 2 hours 25 minute set. That's gonna be tough on the Sunday but can't bloody wait for it
