not that it matters at all. i mean... they're headlining. we all know that. but always nice to have a confirmation, even if it is a stinker

Well it could be worse than coldplay, but id rather full confirmation of any headliner at this point in time

On what planet is Paul McCartney worse than Coldplay?

I don't find him very entertaining maybe that's my young mind but id get more entertainment from coldplay. And I'm not coldplay's biggest fan either. But that's my personal opinion and alot obviously won't agree with me either.

Well i guess you're not much older then since I'm 23, but paul isn't my cup of tea thats for sure. He isn't the worst on my list but hes one that id rather listen to coldplay over.Also I'm still curious on what went on with the radio thingy? did anyone manage to listen to it again?

Hooray, some naysayers about McCartney!  When he played in 2004, I found myself walking off, until he played another Beatles tune, when I walked back towards the stage, only to be repelled when he played "Jet" or some other such shit.

And don't get me started on the actual performances - hearing the Penny Lane trumpet played unconvincingly on a cheap keyboard patch is just cheap and lazy.  He wrote+recorded some great songs, but the man has been coasting since The Beatles split.  I ended up walking off entirely before Hey Jude and I was only a little bit bothered.

I'm 37 and love my Beatles records, but his solo stuff stinks + that performance did not do those recordings justice.

*prepares to be downvoted to oblivion, just like every other time this subject comes up!*

It kinda reminds me of Noel Gallagher, i watched him at rock wercher and his oasis stuff was pretty good but his other stuff also stinked besides the odd 1-2 songs which i expected better of. And i agree with Paul's solo stuff then comparing it to his Beatles stuff.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
