So are Fleetwood Mac lying about Glasto?

Berkeley hunt!!

[ICGenie]

The etymology of the word 'berk' is more surprising than one might think considering how easily it gets bandied about...

This is my favourite bit of education for a long time, thank you for that one!

[Woffy]

My pleasure.

Tomorrow we shall discuss why 'palindrome' isn't a palindrome. And how that word backwards, but not palindromically, is under consideration as a new word of its own in the OED.

Confirmed for isle of wight - must not be lying. Imagine they're an IOW exclusive

"The band’s only festival performance of 2015 will see them reunited with keyboardist and songwriter Christine McVie"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[Bisque]

Massive pay day!

[Avalon_Fields]

Boring! What's the appeal of IoW over Glastonbury? Is it just money, I may be naive but would they really just go for the loot, not the Kudos of Glasto?

[Justiceforcedave]

Shame it's on a fucking Island and only sells weekend tickets too! If I could get a day ticket I'd be all over it.

Money talks I suppose. Personally I think it's a daft decision by them but they must be offered a trailer load of cash

They do day tickets. £75 last year.

Judging by their ticket prices for their tour I'd say they care more about the money

Remember the Metallica festival 'exclusive'

Hmmmmmmmm

That was quite a different situation though, really.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Rats. If Angus Young also duckwalks in the Other direction I dunno if the prospects are super rosy for a slamdunk of a lineup.

[neil999]

Prince?

So what's the iow festival like,I've never been,I presume its very corporate a bit like V and the like.

Am I right?

No idea...all i know if a mate who went recently complained like hell that certain areas get opened and closed at various times of day / night.

No idea if that's true...sounds guff if it is.

It happened to me at an exploratory trip to V in Staffordshire one year. Never again - what a shit, dump, guff 'festival'. I should've know better.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah, it's just a gig in a field. Don't bother going, you won't like it.

Informative. Sounds shit.

Trouble is that's exactly what we say to Glastonbury newbies to put them off.

[CaledonianGonzo]

IOW has, what, two stages? If you don't fancy what's on the main stage you're more or less scuppered.

[Woffy]

Surely it has a fun fair for the obligatory swooping TV camera shot from the top of a 200ft cherry picker?

Best coconut shy in the southwest.

Really almost exactly in the south, surely...
