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 :)

    • Very quiet in here at the moment.....again.   I hate this time as other festivals start and we see who Sziget should've booked 🤣   The Cure knocking it out of the park once again at Primavera showed that they have fans of all ages and, even if it's felt they don't represent the direction Sziget is going in, they would've been a huge draw.   Ditto The XX, who I've never been a massive fan of tbh, but put me in my place at Primavera with a cracking set.

    • Yeah, I feel like people are really overlooking just how fantastic Simple Minds are. ABC have a classic 80s new wave album behind them as well.   That being said, yeah it's not worth travelling for. But it's a lineup I would be happy with if it were local to me
    • On the Wet Leg crowd - the opening day always has the worst crowd of the festival. A lot of locals show up purely because it's a cheap evening, often with not much interest in the acts performing, so, while the talking is an issue throughout the festival (and increasingly at gigs/fests everywhere) it's particularly rough on the Wednesday every year. I'll only bother next year if I really like the act playing.  The wristband is basically a souvenir these days, which I like, as I keep them. Also I guess for the festival it's kind of cheap advertising as people walk around the city with them on.
