The "Watching Isle of Wight Festival and thanking god most of these aren't playing Glasto" thread

[Mark Pooler]

Oh god, bloody Ellie Golding!!??! It just grinds my gears watching this festival!! Who on gods green earth books T'Pau for a major festival?? Even the crowd at IOW do my nut in! It's like there is some sort of IOW dress-code, boys:trilby and fake Ray Bans, girls: daisy chain headbands.....

[Big Vern]

Oooh hark at you!

[Mud Dweller]

I wish she headlined the other stage on Friday this year at Glastonbury.......I could go and watch Chic then. (This Portishead clash is tearing me apart)

[jeffie]

Which channel?

[coma girl]

SkyArts maybe?

I've recorded it somewhere so I can forward through the dross, going to watch it tomorrow along with the Glasto film.

Stone Roses. Glad I was wasted and with 'the boys' when I saw them last summer. Stone cold sober and not dancing like a prick, I'd have been bored out of my mind based on what I saw on TV earlier.

[frostypaw]

Aww I'd like some Ellie this year :-(

But the trilby-rayban combo is god awful

[Bobs]

However... Sunday... Primal Scream from the big top last year is on on Sunday: THAT'S WORTH WATCHING, they were great

[Phil-itfc]

oh aye you definitely don't get loads of people wearing fake ray bans, trilbies or daisy chain headbands at Glastonbury. You missed out those ridiculously tiny denim shorts for girls. There's a name for those shorts but I can't remember it, I'd ask the Mrs but she'll probably think I'm googling it for nefarious reasons

[funksoulfever]

From what i saw....it looks very sanitized and people pretending to be hippys. And generally modern douchebags. Bon jovi sounded awful. Slurring words at start of sentences

[Apone]

Dont worry, there'll be plenty of trilbys, fake raybans, daisy chains and batty riders at Glastonbury, 1000's of kids all being 'different and individual'

Ellie Goulding played Glastonbury in 2010

Glastonbury hasn't booked T'Pau but it has booked Bruce Forsyth and in 2011, the Wombles

Those outfits will be all over Glastonbury too

Have you read some of the stuff your putting in this post. So what if someone wants to wear raybans, shorts, wellies, Daisy's or whatever. Does it really distract from your enjoyment if someone doesn't have the same sensible walking shoes, uv prescription glasses or crocs as yourself? Just by slagging people off for what they wear automatically makes you a worse person than them.

I was talking about IOW by the way. I hope nobody from the IOW forum sees me on the BBC coverage of Glasto because I'd hate them to pull apart my outfit, it would be crushing....

[Bisque]

I'm going to be wearing my New Era cap if its sunny.

I might even wear my baggy Singha vest & Wayfarers from Thailand too.

[drewsstrat]

Hats with 'dope' written on they are in festival stalls everywhere , suits the wearers

[Morse Code]

I like Ellie Goulding!

I don't like trilbys and fake raybans though so you have a point!

[Dave The Hedgehog]

This thread reminds me a bit of the 'Hipsters' thread; like a sort of condescending argument against people who have a Top Shop fashion sensibility, or are somehow subhuman because 'they' wear sailing pumps. Not really an argument against the type of bands who are/aren't playing at Glastonbury, which most would argue is a subjective matter anyway; more an excuse to bash a subculture of fashionistas who otherwise would probably leave you alone and not make your life a misery if you didn't view them as c**ts.

Mm.

[Mark Pooler]

After all these replies a definite wardrobe rethink is needed. Not taking back what I said about T'Pau though.

Ps short denim shorts are know as Daisy Dukes... (Don't wear them myself though, never comfortable with my ass on show for everyone!)
