Apologies to ram more radiohead videos down your throat, but in terms of the crowd standing still, see this from 4:30 onwards

 

then, more recently, and of the sing-along variety see (esp 2:20 onwards) 

 

 

In any case, their sets are varied and the idea that the whole thing would be static and "chin stroky" is not necessarily true. If Radiohead were to headline this year or the next, considering it would probably be their last time at glasto, I'd no doubt they'd pull it out of the bag and deliver an unforgettable set.

I am happy to give them all a listen mate.

Who did that huge long post about how we've moaned about the Headliners year on year, whoever they are?

Can someone send me a quick link.

I'd like to show it to a first timer in our group who is currently moaning. They need perspective.

I highlight the quoted text, hit backspace, hit enter a couple of times, then backspace a couple of times, if it doesn't do the trick I repeat hitting enter and backspace til it does.  That does the job for me on various browsers/devices.

Thanks for that, but still not working here.

Neil has managed to replicate it on *one* of his test devices. It's a known issue with the forum software. Seems like most people can delete it OK, but I currently can't. I'll live, I can probably use an alternative browser until they fix it.

Are any of your working devices Marshmallow, with a relatively stock Android experience? I'm Moto X Play.

We should really continue this on the proper thread, I suppose.

And now on both, as my phone (Sony Z3) is back from the menders .... but is actually a brand new phone, tho running v5.1.1 at the moment (there's prolly a system update I need to do).

Ah, this thread never minds a bit of padding, no, using lollipop or kitkat with stock and chrome variously over the last few months, but mostly windows pc/tablet using chrome.  It's an annoying side effect of the upgrade which I'm sure we'd all like to see resolved.

I actually think it's an annoying side effect of a forums software upgrade rather than a phone software upgrade, as it appears to have started at about the time of the last forums software upgrade (about 3 weeks ago).

Isn't it an interaction between the two? That's the impression I got, considering so many people seem to be fine.

I was actually referring to the forum upgrade.  I've been experiencing it since the change of theme.  I hadn't noticed any improvement or deterioration in that timeframe, it's been like that the whole time for me.  As I say, I found a workaround which makes it a minor annoyance at most.

Does anyone (I'm sure you all do) have a rough idea when the full, or atleast a big chunk of the lineup is announced? Only been once before and I'm sure it was around this time of year, end of march maybe? I just can't take the waiting and teasing every year, festival announcements will be the death of me I need to plan clashes with missus hahaa

perhaps, tho I think what's stopped it working for you and me is the forums software upgrade and not a phone upgrade.

lots of peeps took a while to work out to how to do it, but as far as anyone told me it could always be done. Now it can't be done.

The Other Stage headliner/sub will have a nice crowd then hahaa, Adele wouldn't really surprise me but would she really be able to pull off a fitting headliner show?

The full line up with times is usually June - quite close to the festival. Usually have a poster in April time.

http://theglastonburythingy.weebly.com/ might be a good bet.

I dont think she would thats what makes me think shes subbing, yes shes big enough `at the moment` to headline......but does her music lend itself to that kind of show? headline show you want something with energy that gets the crowd bouncing surly? and I just dont see that with adele...

Yeah that's exactly what I mean! You need someting to really get the crowd going to end everyone's night on a high, I don't think reeling of a load of love songs will do the headline slot much justice, unless she pulls all the stops and ramps up her tempo, has metallica style pyro, a huge laser show and a 30 piece orchestra on stage.. and that's not going to happen!

Coldplay sub on the sunday seems more likely? Or saturday depending who headlines of course.

I know they said 3 British headliners, but Foo Fighters are making an announcement tonight. Could it be?

She's a superb performer and artist. She's also blossomed into a really good looking woman. Poor girl is stuck with the accent but mines not actually too great either.

Maybe that's what Neil heard and why it's not radiohead

Feel dirty even saying that

She should never have done that one with Bryan Adams
