Well if Dickinson said that then he can piss right off. I always get amused how people who cry and defend their particular favourite genre of music are often quite happy to slag off other forms of music.

Iron Maidens Bruce Dickinson has vowed never to bring his band to Glastonbury Festival after dismissing it as the most bourgeois thing on the planet.

The heavy metal groups frontman will not be following Metallica to a headline slot anytime soon because in Dickinsons eyes, the Worthy Farm music extravaganza has become too mainstream.

Personally I have no interest in going to Glastonbury, he told the Daily Star. In the days when Glasto was an alternative festival it was quite interesting, but anywhere Gwyneth Paltrow goes and you can live in an air-conditioned yurt is not for me.

Dickinson does, however, enjoy performing at other rock festivals, but he claims that journalists care little for his kind of event.

Despite sending thousands of people to cover Glastonbury, the 55-year-old thinks the BBC simply cant be arsed to turn up to Sonisphere or Download with a camper van and a hand-held.

The Fear of the Dark singer insisted that Iron Maiden will leave the middle classes to do Glastonbury and the great unwashed will decamp to Knebworth, drink a lot of beer and have fun.

Just had a read of the Dickinson interview, comes across as a massive prick, thankfully for our ears he has said he would never play Glastonbury as a result of it being to bourgeois - which coming from a publically educated airline pilot and private jet company board member is a touch rich.

    • Thing is, I'd have said that as well.   But then she inexplicably ended up on the Wilderness lineup and that changes everything. I reckon if that goes well, which it will, then she's very much in the picture.
    • This has probably been discussed a hundred times already on efests but what constitutes a legend? I know some of it is my age but I don't see eurithmics or Duran Duran as legend status. Neil young or nils lofgren then yes and neither of them have overly troubled the charts. Duran Duran and indeed the eurithmics I would put in the 80s category and whilst it would be ok (human league at isle of wight we're fabulous) they just arent in my mind legend status.  Zombies played same festival- i would take that. 
    • friendly tonight delayed , pitch draining pretty quick to be fair .... not sure it bodes well for other games with potential fixture backlog 
    • Never happen, but an Annie Lennox solo or Eurythmics reunion would make me very happy.
    • Burnham going to go blue labour to ensure he wins makerfield and gets enough nominations from the PLP. How he’d govern is anyone’s guess. Odds on to win anyway so guess we’re not too far away from finding out.
