Were primal scream? Orbital? Flaming lips? Phonics arguably bigger than those - the academy tour for new album is a choice not a necessity, I'm pretty confident of an arena tour late in the year which the above mentioned couldn't. I think there's a lot of mixing up of opinion and actual popularity with this band!

Have people who are suggesting Stereophonics for Other Stage headliners actually seen the size of the field? It's not like headlining the NME stage at Reading, you would need a genuine headliner sized crowd to fill that field. It would be empty of the Stereophonics headlined, would be a pretty ineffective way of splitting the crowd

Look this is a long shot.

But a friend of mine went to kanye's hammersmith apollo gig last night, and spoke to a few of the staff backstage, they said to him that apparently these are taster shows that will amount to kanye going on tour in the summer.

If he does a summer tour, will that make glastonbury more likely?

I'm still placing all my faith in Prince headlining Sunday, Mumfords are not whats required ffs, their brit performance was terrible.

I dont get it people, lets stop trying to put a positive slant on them potentially closing the

festival, if they do it'll be sh1t - you all know it.

If not Prince then Justin Timberlake (things I never thought I 'd say). His performance the other night was great, full of life and genuinely entertaining :)

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • 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.
