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

    • I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer 
    • That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.
    • Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
    • Lifelong Carlisle United supporter here.🤦‍♂️ Good luck for the coming Season and see you in October!
