eFestivals Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 i get what you mean, but what would be the point in drawing publicity to an act who they've suspended betting on?the publicity is about trying to get bets made on other acts, it's not about the act they've closed the betting on.

FloorFiller Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 the publicity is about trying to get bets made on other acts, it's not about the act they've closed the betting on. i realise that but if an act has been suspended surely most sensible minded people will think 'well there's our headliner then, no point in pissing my money away on all these other options' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 i realise that but if an act has been suspended surely most sensible minded people will think 'well there's our headliner then, no point in pissing my money away on all these other options' It's not about getting people to bet on Glastonbury, it's about getting their name in the media. Bigger name leading the story, the more publicity they get. Last year it was Oasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimo Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I am certain its Kanye for Saturday and he potentially could give one of the most talked about headline sets in years. Though I am slightly worried if he is to play, he'll largely play songs off of his new record and neglect any classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Though I am slightly worried if he is to play, he'll largely play songs off of his new record and neglect any classics. he always plays a greatest hits-esque set. even on his Yeezus tour, which had him playing Yeezus in it's entirety, he made up for it by having the shows go on for like 35 songs and playing songs from the rest of his back catalogue. it's the one time his ego doesn't really come in to play - he knows what the crowd wants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I am certain its Kanye for Saturday and he potentially could give one of the most talked about headline sets in years.Probably.But more likely to be talked about because he's a self-obsessed twat than because of any musical brilliance.He certainly didn't dio anything musically brilliant when I saw him, tho he definitely managed the self-obsessed twat part.

spursfan77 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 What's his form for keeping fans waiting before he comes on? I'm assuming a long time on the basis he's a massive twat. That will go down well on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will go down well on the day. i believe there may have been some incidents with this way back, but i don't recall hearing anything about it in recent times (though i may be wrong). saw him at Wireless last year and iirc he was maybe ten minutes late?

airwaves Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 No problem for me, he can delay coming on for as long as he likes Because I'll be elsewhere on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) His 15 minute rant in the middle of the set should be 'interesting'... Edited March 17, 2015 by zahidf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 His 15 minute rant in the middle of the set should be 'interesting'... see now that's the one bit that he could really fuck up and lose the audience with so i really hope he keeps it to a minimum, if not gone entirely (although that may be too much to expect). if he did a 20 minute rant like he did at Wireless last year i can see a LOT of people leaving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 also, i'm currently dreading who they have in line to headline Other / the rest of the stages. PLEASE be some mediocre landfill indie act and not somebody incredible a-la Portishead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm going to be gutted if its the Chems on the Saturday, or even worse, if it's Bjork - i'll be fudged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
