I thought it was Gossip that had one song made famous by Skins?!

There were a few bands I've heard that labelled against inclduing Arcade Fire. It was more to do with people complaining about new bands not being to their taste and using "it was on Skins" as an excuse. Gossip had another biggish song but Beth Ditto was too much of an annoying c**t for me to pay attention to them.

Yep same here, I know a shit tonne of Foals fans and they all go to Leeds as well. I really don't think many people would complain if they headlined. I mean, you know, apart from people who claim they only have one song.

Subjectively and on opinion, they pretty much have! As long as there was an alternative I wouldn't care that much, but that's different to if I think they should.

Aside from the several successful singles from each of their albums Foals only have one song

If a band doesn't bother you except for that though, it'd be hard to agree they have more so. Just because a band has previous recognition for whatever singles doesn't mean everyone has to agree it's good.

I think Foals are not quite outright headliners just yet hence why I'm guessing they'll be part of another fucking co headline duo.

Anyone think there is a chance they may sub Glasto this year? Maybe below Blur if they play and then do R&L and another fest in 2016.

I don't want to predict it if it's not right but my slightly hunch and it's a slim one is Glasto Other headliner Saturday.

I don't think anyone would argue they are now but in a year's time it could be a lot different. Definitely won't be coheadlining with YMAS.

I reckon they might sub Kanye but there's every possibility they're just doing a few inconsequential gigs here and there to top up their bank accounts.

No one is agreeing or disagreeing their songs are good, they are disagreeing that they have one song.

I can only name probably 2 or 3 songs by The Cure, because they've never really "bothered me", but I'm not going to go around claiming they only have 2 songs, because that's just being a nob for the sake of it.

You're a nob for not liking The Cure.

    • Muse new album out soon , European tour announcement for Nov and Dec, no Spanish date and north American tour starts in July and in North America for all of July and August. So primavera and Glastonbury 
    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city!
