Been looking at the poster again.

Main Stage-wise, I think this year definitely wins on the award for Most Boring Band Logos. They're all just block capitals, with a bit of distressing (SOAD, Green Day) or a letter turned round (Eminem, NIN). It's actually really hard to tell that Deftones, Foals and Fall Out Boy have been given their logos on the poster (I think - Foals looks bolder than the other two), because they all look like the normal text for the bands below them :D.

Any other years contenders for the Most Boring Band Logos award?

EDIT: Been looking through the posters, I think 2007 might win on that front actually.

This is just something I want to throw out there...

there are a group of 20 girls from my school going to reading this year, and some said to me today they hardly know any bands on the lineup, and when I asked about green day they said "Oh that emo band right". They said "who" when I said system of a down, and they only knew one alt-j song.

So I asked them, why are you going to reading?

"they said, because the best act that has ever walked this earth is headlining, eminem!"

Look, you can choose not to believe it if you want, you can choose to argue with me but I know i'm right, there are an awful lot of people going, who don't give a fuck about anyone else but eminem. This girl that's going asked if there was going to be any more hip hop artists...

This is a reason why I'm not going this year, the lineup is good but nothing that grabs me, i'm going to glasto instead. But I have a feeling that the reading crowd is going to be much much different, and I only hate to think what the eminem crowd will be like, not even kidding this girl who I was speaking to didn't know any biffy clyro songs!

Eminem will undoubtedly get the biggest crowd of the weekend, stop trying to trick yourselves otherwise by thinking "you'd be suprised yadadadada".

i think it is mildly accurate as the law of averages dictates that a percentage of each act's followers are bound to be UK festivalgoers. Even if it's a small percentage of each i think it is a fairly accurate, if general, representation.

    • 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.
