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

    • Even with the recent heavy showers it's too early to tell what site conditions would have been like.  The very hot spell would have certainly dried things up considerably, and rain since then has been equalled by a stiff breeze so, without the benefit of actually walking the site, I'd guess ground conditions at present are about perfect.   If we had a festival to look forward to I think the weather watchers would have been at the "all to play for" stage at present.
    • Hush cancelled with a similar event now taking place at EartH and Cate Le Bon doing her own show, maybe others have rearranged gigs?
    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.
