Well I'm just trusting other people's words on it. It seems consistent with the small bandname gap on the poster.

Yeah. I don't like it, personally. Seems that there are current acts working hard and champing at the bit to get to the top of the lineup but instead it's decidedly better to have to play by the rules of these mega acts that have only just heard about Glastonbury or something.

edit: I mean, if it's true, that is. I'm not convinced.

I feel sorry for Glastonbury if anything - that they feel like they are putting on less of a festival if there's no gigantic headliner

Catch 22, book gigantic headliners and make yourself the best festival in the world. But then people expect gigantic headliners every year

Fleetwood Mac doing IOW - contractual issues.

Playing O2 Arena - '27 and 28 May and 22, 24 26 and 27 June (SATURDAY OF GLASTONBURY) 2015'.

Not in Leeds until Tuesday 30th their next show.

Sunday slot is free.

Been trying to book for years.

That all makes sense.

Ohh i really hope they don't tempt us with the Mac just to let us down again!

There weren't any gigantic headliners last year so anyone expecting that is almost as much of a tit as Neil Lonsdale.

Metallica are gigantic. Regardless if they play a lot of festivals they've been around for a long time

Nobody else think that the delay in announcing is something to do with BST selling so slowly, Glasto don't seem to know when they're going to announce and this could be due to BST not knowing when they'll have sold enough... Just a thought

Would BST have that much contract power over GF to say 'you are under a NDA until we sell enough tickets'?

I can't see it

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.

      Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.

      I wonder if they had that vote again they'd vote differently, seeing how successful other mayors like Burnham have been?

      Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.
