All these arguments, all because of The Kooks haha.

Also when I find out who it is who goes through all my posts giving me negatives, you're in for a Izzet suprise.

Haha all because you like Sam Bailey over Tame Impala. Which if we're being honest is bullshit anyway.

I highly doubt you really give a shit either way about either of them and you said that out of anger purely for the sake of it.

The initial remark was aimed at being able to tell a lot about someone who would prefer a made over x factor contestant who has had one song that would have been brought out be someone else if there was a different winner. A singer who's music is aimed directly at the middle aged saps who's lives revolve around television, over, A band who if nothing else play their own music and are successful all over the world. Said with the understanding that your comment was a heat of the moment, fuck you remark. The responses got a bit out of hand, but it's all good sport.

The Courteeners are plenty popular down south. People just say shit to get reactions.

Weren't out of anger, I just like being a c**t.

It's too easy to get reactions out of people on this forum.

The Kooks comments I genuinely mean though, I don't see how they'd be worthy of a sub, but I'm not having that arguentment again.

I was going to say something more along the lines of:

5 people are in a room ones favourite band/singer is Arctic Monkeys, another is Parkway drive, another is Pavarotti, another is Lily Allen and the other is Miley Cyrus.

Knowing nothing else about the people, who would you assume would be the person you would like to talk to the most?

Woah woah woah 2 of my favourite bands are Parkway Drive and Arctic Monkeys. Just because they are very different genres does not mean people can't enjoy both bands. People assume that because someone listens to metal they are this horrible breed of people which is total bullshit. Never judge a book by its cover.

You've just assumed that people are assuming that.

Who has said anyone is a horrible breed of person?

Same difference, I knew you were not saying it in all seriousness and I was having a tongue in cheek dig back.

Then it got out of hand so we went along for the ride. Good times. I still can't make the connection of why saying that being able to get read on people automatically equates to labelling them a bad person or judging them, but lifes full of downers.

I know you're serious about the kooks, I doubt they would sub either but I stand by the fact that they would be a great second stage headliner all things considered.

ano the kooks comments have annoyed me that am posting.

They were shocking on there day.

Imagine sitting with mates and someone puts on the 1st kooks album?

You would have to give them a slap

The Courteeners can sell out arena's up north but they wouldn't come close down south.

They're only headlining the NME at Reading because headlining NME is the correct position for them at Leeds.

White Lies, Frank Turner a few years, Rick Ross all played Wembley Arena, I can't see how The Courteeners aren't the same size.

Their fanbase is primarily northern so wouldn't bother going to wembley to see them cause it'd be far too much effort

The largest venue Courteeners could sell out down here is Brixton. White Lies, if I remember correctly, was a bit of a flop, Frank Turner has a huge crossover fanbase (that's why he's played the O2) and I'm not even going to touch on Rick Ross.

They might decide to play Wembley, bit it wouldn't sell very well. That's probably why when they decided to step up to arena's up north they only played Shepherd's Bush down south rather than do a proper tour.

Definitely one of the biggest, didn't realise Rick Ross was that famous, Beni Headliner worthy?

Haha nah, I dont think a lot of US rapper cross over into european festivals that well.

Also he ain't that mainstream, one of them blokes that unless you're into hip hop you probably wouldn't know many if any of his tunes.

I was taking the piss mate haha, although the sight of that fat fuck sweating to death in the heat is worth my ticket money alone.

im from down south and don't reckon courteeners could sell out wembley unless they had really cheap tickets and decent support acts, though saying they could probably do the O2, Vaccines and Two Door Cinema Club have both done it, tickets were £15 and had decent support acts as far as I remember they both sold out fairly quick so could see Courteeners doing O2. When I saw Courteeners at Reading 2012 there was hardly anyone there, even though foster the people were on after which packed out the place they really didn't pull in a strong crowd

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • 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). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • 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.
