I've got nothign against the prodigy really, I had a whale of a time to them in the early 90s, I just find them to have turned into a staid behemoth of the type they were always against. They were fresh, they were the young kids pissing off all the middle aged rockist men when they first came out. They were the very essence of youthful rebellion anf fuck you-ness. Now, I dunno.

shit, it's just occured to me what's really happened, I've become that middle aged man. That's probably the issue, nothing to do with the Prodigy.

Wonder if Adele has been persuaded. Not that she needs the publicity or the album sales. But she will probably like the charity thing and I am sure her publicist etc people would love it. Would be a big one for the festival "Adele's first ever festival performance" (Headliner for certain, maybe ever, unless she did little ones when she was up and coming). She did the Oscars and is meant to be in therapy for stage fright? Unlikely but maybe they went begging and persuaded her. She doesn't even really need to be "touring" (Imagine she is going to be writing/child raising this year) - her set up would be pretty simple.

Still unlikely I am sure.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
