If Macca plays, those who were there in 2004 will be unbearable on here telling us it'll never match that evening!

Mind you, I'd be doing the same thing if Blur were playing again.

Why does this conversation always start, it's so boringggggg

Lets go back to headliners!

Arctics - Stones/Mumford - Mccartney

discuss.

Just a cat? That mutha's a Jedi! That's hardly "just" a cat - his midi-chlorians must be through the roof! I'd like to hope he wasn't judgemental and arrogant, being a Jedi and all that, but he did look kind of cocky mid way through.

Christ. He could be a Sith. Troubling, this is.

There are some mighty hostile types on these boards. I do apologise for my wildly offensive comment about.... wanting to walk around the site, what was I thinking?

i'd love Kylie. so many good songs. i thought she was gonna headline in '10 / '11 but that didn't pan out (apart from her guest slot with Scissor Sisters)

although not quite as at the top of her game as she was when she was last supposed to headline i think she'd still be a fantastic headliner

Just as much hostility towards people who want to watch bands. Which apparently is a sin at glasto to some people.

Anyway for headliners I really don't think the stones is going to happen.

Possibly Macca was asked to step in for the stones or play the sunday, and decided if he's playing one show, he might as well play a few, hence these europe dates. I mean he doesn't need months to sell out a venue and it would reduce the overheads per show. Plus seems a lot of effort to rehearse for one show

I think, just like the original post, I didn't articulate myself properly.

The whole 'you see bands at glasto? Whats wrong with you!' crew really gets on my nerves and a post that essentially said 'I feel smug about getting a fish curry instead of watching bands' implies, to me, some sort of condescending attitude. That somehow watching bands and enjoying it is the wrong way to 'do glasto' and you're smug about it because you 'know' how you do glasto is better'.

Maybe you didn't mean smug, but if you did then that post belongs in the glasto cliche thread

Here's a novel thought maybe there should be a separate cheaper type of ticket that would just let you into all the 'non-music' area because the bands is why you pay £200

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub 
    • Yeah Roy's Tune was lovely. Looking forward to the whole thing hopefully going on iPlayer.   It's scattered dates they have this year really, proper tour/s to come next year - suspect a new single will drop in the next couple of months, providing the album is done.
