2013 Headliners

[eFestivals]

Fleetwood Mac?

Me: so would you book Fleetwood Mac?

Michael; nobody is interested in them anymore, are they?

True story. It might happen I guess, but I personally doubt it.

what's your thoughts on the Snow Patrol/Noel idea?

me personally thought it varied it from The Roses/Noel combo

[gazza_20]

I find Snow Patrol a dirge and The Roses passed me by unfortunately.

Noel, on the other hand, I have to admit to being a little bit gay for. A wonderful voice with a knack for writing catchy earworms of melodies and football chants for choruses. He does Paul Weller's act better than Paul Weller does these days

Can't see Snow Patrol headlining. They're nowhere near as big as they used to be and there's also the fact they're utter pish.

[chriseede]

So do many but the same can be said for Radiohead/Coldplay and many others. They are still big ticket sellers with a lot of fans. They are to note though, not for me

Where have these rumours of the Boss come from? I can't see it happening only 4 years after he played a fairly underwhelming set

What about Blink-182 as Other Stage headliners? Thought they were fantastic in Nottingham last week and wondered if Glasto would ever book them.

Bruce Springsteen....

preceded by Jack White

that's all

[eFestivals]

I know Neil will probably by trying to keep his excitement in check, but there are rumours of a certain Mr Springsteen making a return next year.....

maybe he can find some songs to play which aren't deathly bland if he does?

[fatyeti24]

Do you spend a lot of time trying to write comments that will be most liked on YouTube?

[MEGABOWL]

I don't disagree

I didn't think last time was the most spectacular of successes.

at the time all the Bruce fan-boys refused to accept it as anything less than stunning.

A few years down the line and some of them are finally admitting that it was dull dull dull - which is exactly what some of us more-than-noticed at the time.

Which only gets to prove that there's no point listening to fan boys for an objective view of anything.

His festival shows seem to have gone well recently though.

yep, so the fan-boys say ... at which point you should start re-reading this post from the top.

Forget 'The Boss', let's get Macca back for a Frog Chorus set. It would be less bland and more tuneful.

[gazza_20]

What happened? I go away for a couple of pages and Snow Patrol are being talked about! What on Earth happened?

[eFestivals]

as opposed to your judgement of his whole set based on a few minutes of it

my judgement was made on much more than that.

Such as the opinions of many others I met at the time who stayed for the whole set and found it unbelievably dull (a fact that people like you refused to accept as possible ).

the truth is that most fans thought it was an under par set, and admitted it at the time.

complete and utter bollocks, as the posts made on this forum at time got to prove.

indeed.. it took you about 5 minutes...

it didn't even take me that long. What's your excuse for not having yet noticed after 40+ years?

Might have been discussed before.... but.

When was the last time Underworld played? I have a feeling they could headline the other stage, seeing as similar acts (Orbital, Chems, etc) have done lately.

[eFestivals]

the comment referring Neil was sarcasm. I knew he would hate him from the moment it was announced he would be playing

and that's complete bull too. There's no end of lies that Bruce boys will say in defence of their hero.

I was actually pleased for him to be announced. I quite fancied seeing him, hoping that his live shows would be on a better level than his recordings; for me, that was the explanation for his god-like status (cos it's defo not his bland recordings).

I even went to the trouble and expense of buying his (then) latest album so that i'd be more familiar with his stuff .... which was were it all went so horribly horribly 'wrong' with my opinions of Bruce. The album was the biggest pile of shite I've bought in long over 10 years.

After hearing that album I found it impossible to ever take him seriously again. That's how bad it was.

Give me Oasis again, or screaming Flo. There's no way on earth I'd go near Bruce again.

[eFestivals]

that's a neat trick... you left after 5 minutes on the basis of other people's opinions that you discovered when the set had ended. Let me know how that works

I left after 5 minutes on the basis that it was panning out as I'd feared.

Nothing of that influences all those people I met who found it similarly dreadfully dull - you know, the people that people like you (and specifically you!!) were saying just didn't exist because it was a stunning set that no one could hate.

And now, it's accepted that there were huge numbers who found him that dull. Even the likes of you will now admit that he was dull.

I said to you, from the moment you knew he was on, that I didn't think you'd like him. Not bull at all

Then all that goes to show is that your preconceptions over-ride the facts, in all directions.
