Deftones are probably better than any band rumoured for Glasto thus far.
perhaps, but they're not better than hundreds of non-landfill bands that Glastonbury will have.

You can get landfill anywhere. I personally don't understand why anyone would waste their time there watching the same bands they could see in a dozen other places.

"I personally don't understand why anyone would waste their time there watching the same bands they could see in a dozen other places."

This is true Neil to a certain extent. Though i for one have been extremely strapped this year and have set G as the one festival i will go to this year, and nothing before as i am having to save up for it. I would normally go to see some gigs before, thus i will miss Foals and I am kloot on tour too name just two that might perform. The G line up gives me a chance to see some of them. Also others live in far flung places that don't have the amount of venues as a London or other big city and have to travel, thus add expense etc. In an ideal world we would all love to just "pop along" to our local venue and watch our fave band, not always possible.

I assume he meant festivals, rather than venues. Purely due to the depth of the Glastonbury line up, there's hundreds of acts you wouldn't see anywhere else, where as you don't get that at R&L.

The only thing that has really attracted me to Reading since the first time I went is exclusives. If there's an act I'm desperate to see, and know I can't see anywhere else, such as The Cure last year, I'd go.

Sorry if that's the case :) , i wouldn't go to Reading, i don't think it carries the variety of Glastonbury, i doubt you would wander as you do at G and find some gems. Also as said before , when the line up comes out it's great fun to look at some of the artists playing that you had not heard of or wouldn't otherwise and find some gems. I saw The Strange Boys in the Park by finding them on the rumour page, also saw The Villagers there . I love it once it all comes together,i can spend hours online listening and gearing myself up for the festival :)

Reading some glasto facepalm worthy tweets;

"I've heard that they've booked destinies child to headline glastonbury, seeing as beyonce did glastonbury last year"

"I love glastonbury, coldplay play every year".

"Stupid People buying glasto tickets officially, ebay is where it's at"

"Fleetwood mac are 100% headlining, I'm certain about this!".

Stop the world I want to get off...

    • Best of all is to get the tram, then call a taxi for very short not-rip-off ride once in the centre.
    • Would you decide to go once more I recommend to queu up at the ‘official’ freenow taxi line ( 5 min walk from the main gate). It might take 15 min or so but they are not ripping you off. Even at 3 or 4 in the night it costed us about 25eur to the city center. 
    • How do you mean? Better as a hotel/ festival combo?   I've done rock am ring at both sites.....unpopular opinion I much preferred the mending site and really didn't like the long and narrow main stage at RaR.
    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
