So today we've learned that some couples are happy to do different things, and some couples like to spend their time at the festival together, and it's all okay!

Exactly, each to their own and whether that be singly, in pairs, threesomes or whatever it is all fine just as long as they are happy, decent and honest.

That was precisely what you said. And at no point have I said I'm making any sort of sacrifice.

Not entirely sure what qualifies you to pass judgement on how people enjoy their festival.

Just re-read what I said and I did not say what you imply at all.

As long as you enjoy the festival and go to see Adele fully intending to enjoy her set I'm not passing judgement at all.  But don't make out like some big sacrifice or compromise is needed in this situation.  It's not.

Interesting that the demasculining comment from a woman has caused you more offence than the blatantly misogynist comment from a man (even though both were intended in jest).

I'm sorry, is this amateur psychology hour?

I'm also not sure why you needed to play the sex card here either. I assume it's to make me out to be some sort of misogynist, but it doesn't seem necessary.

Not at all - you're doing a nice line in accusing me of saying things I haven't though.

Just thought it was interesting you were more offended by someone telling you to get a bit more backbone than someone telling you to replace your wife.  I'm sure you can do the analysis yourself.

@eFestivals have Glastonbury given an official press release of Adele's announcment? I'm sure Stan James won't pay out on bets until then, but I've no way of finding that out 

It is on the main GF web site and was also tweeted by them and put on their FB page - so pretty official I would say.

I love my "wife" too but she sees me nearly every day and am sure is happy for me to fuck off if she wants to watch some crap like Dolly miming. (Any excuse to get some time away from me). 

 

(each to their own mate and as long as you're happy I ain't judging - I wouldn't want to spend it all apart from her, but I wouldn't watch 2 hours of Adele for anyone :lol:). 

 

Hang on a minute... I said "some" compromise, and I never said that would include Adele! ;)

The Adele announcement was one of the most casual announcements ever made, considering its for one of the biggest/if not the biggest artist in the world.

I love Glastonbury for that, compare it to reading and they built up and went on about Foals/Disclosure announcement seemingly for weeks :rolleyes:

This years headliners thread was pretty anticlimactic for the casual reader. Comparing it to last year the headliners this year were nailed on early & all round quite uninspiring. We've had no broken legs or bands already booked to play elsewhere turning out top of the bill. Just the general acceptance that its Muse Adele & Coldplay, closely followed by fairly low key announcements to confirm it

its as if maybe the fake poster kind of pissed on their firework a bit this year. Nothing to announce we didn't already know 

i hope we get full line up with some strong under cards, and pretty soon, at least to keep the newbies I'm taking interested, who are struggling to get excited so far

I agree. The headliner thread was definitely not what it used to be...

I preferred it when the headliner thread had better posters. Now it's just the same old 'house posters' posting. They should give some up and coming posters a chance rather than this year's bland uninspired selection.

Snap. Mine actually discussed selling their tickets the other day. My protests that you can genuinely have an amazing time at Glastonbury without seeing any music has fallen on deaf ears (I guess understandably so if they've never been).

I can honestly say I've never seen a bad undercard at Glastonbury, though. There is always a few acts per day that interest me, at least.

Man I'd love Iggy/Homme to be playing.

Is that album good? Heard nothing but mediocre reviews of it. Worth getting?

 

Ah, ignore this, just seen you and scruffs discussing it on the vinyl thread.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
