that's not unreasonable to assume

If that's aimed in my direction (and I assume it is since I can't see any other new accounts posting recently), I can assure you I've no other account. Why the animosity towards newbies, might I ask? Are we not entitled to an opinion?

FYI, I've always been an active reader of this thread. Just never commented before.

more 'techguy', and i didn't notice any animosity towards anyone, but opinions and all that.

Don't worry too much about it, just a lot of newbies tend to be 'trolls' at this time of year! It'll probably get less tense once the line-up is announced :lol:

This thread is nuts! I'm fucking nuts, not interested in headliners, never watched a Pyramid headliner in all the times I have been- yet here I am all day on here!

However if (when?) The Cure are announced as the 3rd headliner - Pyramid here I come :-)

Jesus, imagine if it was The Cure, what an outcome that would be, The Hanging Garden belting out from The Pyramid Stage on the last night of the festival is the stuff dreams are made of.

Am I literally the only one who wouldn't give a toss about seeing prince? Purple rain thats all I know.....and I'm guessing it'd be same for most people,....he's never been a hugely popular artist in the uk.....maybe when he was at his peak but even that was a long long time ago....baffling why so many think he'd be able to pull off a headline slot at any uk fest let alone glasto,

He has protected his legacy, hes not seen a lot so is a special attraction, hes a diva, he puts on a great live show, is a great musician, has a large back catalogue and has tunes that blokes and girls enjoy equally.

I'm not a massive fan but any festival that gets Prince has booked a tier 1 act and a guaranteed packed field.

Call us "picky" when it comes to "first post experts" on who is playing.

For purely selfish reasons I don't want him to play as my boyfriend will want to see him and I'll probably be guilt tripped into seeing him and I'll be bored and everyone else will be enjoying it and it'll be an all around terrible experience and I'll be thinking "why couldn't it have been George Michael?".

I have to say until the rumours last year and the super fandom from people on this board I just viewed prince as another washed up 80s pop star snd would certainly never have linked him with headline slots in modern times .....has he had some kind of transformation I'm not aware of? Lol

I'm in the same boat, I'll 100% be elsewhere. Don't get it all, everyone is different though..

      I don't think a whole raft of attendees who've been going every year since the mid 90s and mid 10s collectively all thinking the festival is no longer for us suggests we've all aged out of it at the same time. Something fundamental has changed and its pretty obvious what that is. The fact that theyve managed to skinny down the line up so much AND STILL get punters in is a real credit to the bookers, filling it with enough of the current thing to get the kids excited for a weekend while pulling in enough big names to make it worth a day out for the casual Florence fan etc... is impresive. Re Leeds: Annecdotally, from videos, numbers have looked tiny vs Reading, esp on the camping end of things, it would be good to know the official numbers and how much they're down from the peak sell out years

      I mean she's never going to admit it, but of course she would do a deal...same as Labour would with lib-dems/greens if meant getting into government.

      They probably do make more from the festival. But take a look at an aerial photo from any year - there's always a few fields that would be viable for festival related use yet are left empty. I guess they just don't want to deal with the associated hassle.
