Drake is awful and I don't think Lil Wayne is even allowed in this country.

I think your right i'm pretty sure i heard somewhere that he isn't allowed in this country. The same goes with Chris Brown the last time he was meant to tour he had to cancel it because he wasn't allowed in.

why were they prevented from coming to the UK? unless there's a new law where we can ban people simply for being absolute spunkbubbles.

(if there is such a law, i most heartily approve.)

Chris Brown was because of him beating Rhianna i'm sure not 100% and Lil Wayne was because previous convictions to do with guns. I'm not entirely sure on both but that may be it i'll look it up.

"According to Stereoboard.com, UK border officials rejected Weezy's application, taking into consideration his recent spell in the slammer for weapons possession."

Lil Wayne

"The US star, who was sentenced to six months community labour for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna last February, was due to kick off his tour in Glasgow on Wednesday night."

That one is Chris Brown obviously.

Would make sense I guess...I say that for Jay Z, he seems to have "got it" and genuinely like the festival since his headline set. *

*Or maybe for the cynical amongst us, the marketing he can generate from it tongue.png

Probably a bit too soon to Jay-Z to be officially on the bill again. Kanye headline set with guest appearances from the usual (Jay-Z, Rihanna, maybe even Beyonce) would be good.

I remember '10, one of the dance stages was basically taken over by uk rap.

It was basically everyone from Boy Better Know all day long. Saw Skepta do a decent mid-day set whilst avoiding the sun.

Foreign Beggars, Skuff & Inja etc can all be found down in the naughty corner in the evenings.

I'd much prefer Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre to Kanye and Jay-Z think I've mentioned it before but can't remember exactly. Loved watching their Coachella performance it didn't need the Tupac Hologram or Eminem miming his most important verses in Forgot about Dre.

Really hoping Public Enemy play been listening to them for a while since the idea came around that they could play and they are really good. Plus Flavor Flav what a guy.

I'd love a Jay-Z & Kanye headlining set, I saw Jay-Z in Manchester in 2008 just after he'd done Glastonbury and Kanye popped up out of no where and I've never saw a crowd go so fucking mental. The chemistry they've got on stage is quality they bounce off each other like no other hip-hop act I've ever seen:

there is/was a guy who used to post on here called blackcockerel who said once he would go along and boo any hip hop act that played as it wasnt the time or place?

WTF!

Never understood this mentality, why not just find something to enjoy? Or maybe they just really enjoy being a dick and spoiling others enjoyment.

Been getting into the latest El-P album lately. Really good. He's playing ATP in May, would be good if he could do something at Glastonbury, but not sure how he would fare in the bright sunshine mid afternoon. This is dark stuff.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By davidd · Posted

      f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.

      Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December).

      Primavera Sound 2026

      After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.

      You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
