2013 Headliners

I don't like Promised Land and Prove it All Night off Darkness. Both of which didn't go down well at Glasto really. They're piss/bar songs at Boss shows when I go. And Badlands is a bit "Born To Run Part 2" for me. Although I love the middle 8.

Anyway, I like Darkness, but its my least favourite of all his albums up to and including BITUSA. Apart from the production on most of The River.

It's definitely my favourite, but I don't think it tails off onto the second side either. The one-two of racing In The Street and The Promised Land is maybe his greatest moment, I'd say.

In comparison, TWTI&TESS has a few clunkers and the first album is promising at best.

Yup - I also happen to like Prove It All Night as well! For me it's Something in the Night that's the (relative) weakest link - he get's a bit bellowy on it.

As for The River, Sherry Darling's my favourite song there, so your mileage may vary as to whether you now think I'm crackers.

I'm not going to 100% believe neil on this one. You can call me gullible but it's not JUST the daily star who have reported this. They wouldn't just make this up, they would have to have heard something from somewhere...

yep, Freddie Starr REALLY DID eat that hamster, the cruel bastard. It wasn't a made up story at all.

Care to show me any story that isn't a story that's been written off what the Star have reported?

And if the Star is correct with this, was it also correct with Rihanna too, and there's lots of headliners this year, maybe 50 of them?

And my sentence related to that how?

The rihanna one wasn't "made up" a source told them, and obviously that source was wrong. They didn't just sit at a table and think "Hey, today lets fool the nation to believe rihanna's headlining glastonbury". They were told by a dipshit who wanted to create news. Now you could say that someone without any knowledge told them this time! But we have nothing to prove that that's the case.

They have been right with certain glasto things in the past, so i'm not just going to rule this out completely.

is that what you think? :lol:

you're right of course. They never make stuff up because they have a deadline to hit with content that sounds good so that their boss is impressed so they keep their job. :lol:

yep, they defo sometimes do get good info. This isn't one of them tho.

They could, by chance, be right about Prince. But it would be only chance and not because there was substance behind this story.

    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
