Well a few things have got in the way in the past. Must make it there. Always loved The Big Chill, before Festival Republica took over, who duid these things well . Big ambient fan, used to do Ambient sets a few places long time back. Would be love to see an area at Glastonbury for that type of Genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but that's still a terrible name when the tent comes back in subsequent years. I'm still not convinced it wasn't a retcon "New Bands Tent" is a new "bands tent", not a "new bands" tent? Come on, they bottled it with the programming and stuck some well known acts on to get the punters in. No matter what way you look at it, it was a terrible name. It was hardly a new tent when it was there the previous year, was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Stage, New Bands Tent, even Jazz Lounge was a bit generic. John Peel should change because he's just not relevant anymore. The guy didn't make records, nobody is listening to his show now, he's increasingly just known as the nonce. Maybe they should rename it after the first DJ to use twin turntables and a microphone. Not sure who it was, but can't be any worse, surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Just call it the Matt Healy stage, because that’s guaranteed not to run into any related issues at any point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
