Glastonbury won't be that passionate. I don't doubt there will be fans of the roses there because clearly there will be, just not enough to be so forgiving.

You are entitled to that opinion. I just remember people saying no one would turn up for Metallica, that people would walk away after one song, that no one would know any of the songs etc, so it just annoys me when people think the Glastonbury crowd would not know any of the songs. Glastonbury crowd is one of the most knowledgeable of music out of all of the festival crowds and personally I think they would go down a storm, especially on the last night.

I watched the Roses twice (Heaton Park Saturday and Optimus Alive in Portugal), also watched Ian Brown solo 6 times. Only at 1 or 2 of the gigs did I really notice him sounding ropey, some of the solo gigs and Heaton Park in particular he sounded spot on

Christ on a bike, chill the fuck out. I've been pretty vocal about how I don't get the whole Roses thing going on here but no need to be so tense. Just go somewhere else - it's Glastonbury :)

PS. Nothing wrong with Paolo Nutini.

Soz for having an opinion. Go back to bed Zac.

The Roses can not, in my opinion, be in the 'legend' status on the strength of one outstanding album and one half decent album.

Soz, they are. 100k in that field if they play. Lot of grown men crying with happiness, me included.

I can't believe we have users denying that the roses would have that power. They especially would.. I think they are one of the last UK bands to have never headlined and have that power!

And it is just my opinion. Maybe you're right and they nail it. I can only base my opinion on what ive seen/heard.

    • mmm... i note there are several derogatory comments about this... not sure what it says about me, but i could spend a happy afternoon here...   Simple Minds, Deacon Blue and Texas are all great live bands.   hell, i'd even be drawn away from the bar to see James Blunt (if only for a bit of a nostalgia trip for his show on the Pyramid that i admit i hugely enjoyed).   still, with all that said - there's no way i'm going to the other end of the country for it...   🙂

    • Have a great festival to those that are going, I cant wait to get there tomorrow!
    • ah i get ya.. Yeah I hate festivals that have that barrier and front section. Roskilde is gonna be the same, which I'm not looking forward to navigating. Like you say, you end up missing other stuff having to get there dead early. Luckily there's not much we're arsed about on at Roskilde though so that wont be such an issue! hahaha    
    • Not directly my expectation but my wishlist   - car seat headrest (it has been way too long these guys did Europe) - death cab for cutie - new constellations - interpol - bush - swimschool - suede - the haunted youth (should have been there this year) - flipturn   and oh yes Yumi Zouma can come any week, day, hour but this is a personal fetish with this band
