Were primal scream? Orbital? Flaming lips? Phonics arguably bigger than those - the academy tour for new album is a choice not a necessity, I'm pretty confident of an arena tour late in the year which the above mentioned couldn't. I think there's a lot of mixing up of opinion and actual popularity with this band!

Have people who are suggesting Stereophonics for Other Stage headliners actually seen the size of the field? It's not like headlining the NME stage at Reading, you would need a genuine headliner sized crowd to fill that field. It would be empty of the Stereophonics headlined, would be a pretty ineffective way of splitting the crowd

Look this is a long shot.

But a friend of mine went to kanye's hammersmith apollo gig last night, and spoke to a few of the staff backstage, they said to him that apparently these are taster shows that will amount to kanye going on tour in the summer.

If he does a summer tour, will that make glastonbury more likely?

I'm still placing all my faith in Prince headlining Sunday, Mumfords are not whats required ffs, their brit performance was terrible.

I dont get it people, lets stop trying to put a positive slant on them potentially closing the

festival, if they do it'll be sh1t - you all know it.

If not Prince then Justin Timberlake (things I never thought I 'd say). His performance the other night was great, full of life and genuinely entertaining :)

    • Iran firing missiles at Israel blaming Israel's continued breaking of ceasefire agreements with its bombing of Lebanon. Deal with that one Trump you d*ck.
    • 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.
