Reckon this would go down great, despite their political ignorance.

Probably unlikely but a lot more appealing that some of the guff doing the rounds

That's just what I was thinking, nice to see a decent band on the boards, some of the turgid tripe on that headliner thread is an embarrassment to music..

Yeah I'd love some ZZTop, doubtful, but we can all but hope

The sense of doom and negativity on this thread is the exact reverse of that on the Fleetwood Mac thread. ZZ are touring, playing festivals and currently look as if they're available at least - yet we're all sure they won't play. Short of Stevie Nicks tattooing "Fuck off Worthy Farm" on her forehead there's no evidence thats enough to convince people FM're not playing.

Aye some positivity is maybe needed in this thread.

They wouldn't headline surely, but would be a fine sub... ZZ Top and AC/DC on the Saturday night would pull a helluva crowd at Glasto and on TV.

Hard to see them playing anywhere other than the Pyramid if they do appear.

They'll need some convincing I'd say. Beards aside, they are considered/consider themselves very serious blues rock artists. Gibbons was good mates and jam buddies with Hendrix. They play Montreux, Crossroads etc, tour with Jeff Beck and are used to close to top billing.

Doubt they'd be happy with an afternoon slot playing a few old numbers to punters sitting in chairs reading the Guardian doing the hand gesture from the Gimme All Your Lovin video?.

Hope I'm wrong though! They would be wonderful regardless of when and where they play.

You arent wrong. There is not a hope they will ever play. And I dont blame them. Why on earth would they take a crap slot and get treated like a novelty act?

I'd love to see them headline west holts.

Deadly serious blues artists who dress up like pimps and have a buffalo onstage with them, that is.

Yep!

Thats a good shout! Or 2nd last on before next years rock act? AC/DC or the Foos?

Bryan Ferry? :P

Imposed on the stage bookers against their will, so the story goes.

Plus, Nile Rodgers writes all his songs for him.

Edit: Not having the Foo Fighters's's's's's static, sheet-white bro-rawk associated with any of the other acts mentioned hereabouts.

ZZ's Southern rock'n'roll would go down a storm I reckon. The North Mississippi Allstars tore it up brilliantly last year, and I'd be up for some of that beardy boogie for sure.

Totally! While the fools were watching dolly mime a great time was to be had in avalon.

So that's 3 of us. I wonder who the other 27 people in the tent were?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
