That...one is actually slightly true though. They weren't booked for it but closer to the fest when foos popularity and buzz stormed up they were asked to "play" #not necessarily headline# the main stage, but Dave said no. Source is dave himself somewhere, it might be the foos doc or just a random YouTube interview.

But the broken ribs thing was just plain old silly.

Well the strokes did something similar when they first played, maybe something similar for the foo fighters.

Although headlining, well that would be a silly claim.

Nah I'm just saying he may have just got his words or story mixed up on that one. I dunno I wasn't there to see it when he said it. Look at me defending yellow.

He didn't. He's a professional journalist.

When we were discussing the 38 broken rib story you did say think what you want but it's the truth.

I don't know if you did reply when that Paul guy came along but I'm guessing you didn't. But yeah that's all in the past.

Oh aye, despite it all I stand by that one, I know Paul claims to the other and that's cool I appreciate that, but I'm still pretty sure what I know is correct.

    • Yep, honestly this seems like the most likely option right now.
    • Agree. Also there was a lot more crossing over between stages. I know they need to put the cure, the xx and Gorillaz on the main stages but if they could have put your Blood Orange, Big Thief, Baxter Dury on Cupra and Occident with Jade and Pinkpantheress on the main stages, it would have been a massive improvement. 
    • 100% THIS! I haven't quite been able to put my finger on it, but I think you've just nailed why I didn't enjoy this year as much as usual. In last years edition, the likes of Slowdive or Big Thief would have had evening slots at Cupra or Occident, instead of being shoved on to the main stages during the day. Apart from the very biggest acts (ie The Cure, the pop headliners), most performances at Mordor just lack that special "wow, I'm so lucky to be here" feeling that I remember from the Jesus Lizard and Anhoni sets that you've mentioned.  Sidenote: I wonder if there's a decent chunk of ticket holders that gravitate towards Mordor simply because it's the biggest stage, without really caring who's playing at that time, thus the increased (and incredibly noticeable) yapping. 
    • Some horrible talkers around me as well for that one. Plus the mobile beer taps pressing through almost all the way to the front, which really should be illegal.
