Same here. I want the bitter disappointment to be put off as long as possible.

I have resigned myself to the fact the pyramid headliners will be shit and the fact 90% of the Pyramid line up will be.

Im more hopefull that we could have a stellar Other stage line up: Beck, Iggy Pop, Hot Chip to name a few.

More likely to be vaccines, George ezra and Sam Smith

The harsh fact is that the demographic has changed enormously. The festival was always more female friendly than others but it is now at least a 50/50. I'd say at leaat 40% of attendees are women under 30.The Beyonce crowd really brought it home to me. I was at Spirit of 71 and when her set ended all we could see were thousands of women in wellies walking past for bloody ages. It was a sight to behold! This is Taylor's core audience at the moment so she would pull a very big crowd.I know I'm an exception but then I saw Kylie Last October within weeks of following Hawkwind around Cornwall.

Please stop posting, you're scaring away the regulars. Everybody knows you can't like Kylie and Hawkwind, it's not possible. :P

Christ i felt like a dickhead going to see her and i'm a 21 year old girl who went with three other 21 year old girls.

So what i mean is i think she'd be a great headliner. i'm not sure whether i believe she'll be there, but i'm definitely hoping!

I'll be right there with you! Watch out for an over excited middle aged bloke wearing a Hawkwind hoody trying to rush the stage.

I've not posted in here for a while but have read the rumours day in day out,optimism soared etc etc etc .

I'd just like to add that the casual use of that fucking awful,awful racial slur renders Carlton a c**t.

"The word Yid was adopted over 30 years ago by Spurs fans to combat racist abuse aimed towards them at football by opposing fans.

It developed into a strong identity status that brought Jewish and non-Jewish Spurs fans together in an incredible show of unity that is admired worldwide. That is what fighting racism within football should be about."

Now I'm not clued up on spurs history so who knows it could be right, calling each other anti-semitic names may infact help end racism, however I feel that this is not the case and referring to each other in such ways is very, very twattish

Not googled this yet, but didn't the club or the premier league or the FA try to stop the 'Yiddos, yiddos' chant and fail dismally?

An unbelievable post initally,i knew the the term was/is used in regards to Spurs, and think that too is fucking dreadful. I can't agree with the appropriation of these terms as a way to fight racism really Jono,i've heard the neanderthal chants gloating about how "Hitler's going to do them again" too. Edited by davidd

    • My wife works for a music company, they have an allocation already.  They run a ballot for it early next year. 
    • This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier. 
    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.
