I have one simple wish for next year, Kendrick Lamar to headline the other stage, he was incredible at Leeds, a special talent

He's the only hip hop star after jay z and Kanye who could headline the pyramid in the future with a few more albums under his belt imo

I'd like to see Gogol Bordello again next year. They'd be cool on the Hell stage but I guess probably too big.

I saw Levellers last night in Brighton and had never really listened to them before, were awesome. They'd be cool late at night too.

 

Gogol Bordello would be great. Where could they play? I reckon the park would be good for them.

What's the chances of libertines doing it anyway do you reckon? I think it Biffy's year to do it. 

 

considering The Libertines played this year i very much doubt they'd be re-booked for next year. it may have been a secret set, but it was in a very prominent place and they pretty much played exactly what they'd play in a headliner spot

Absolutely Nil, il be shocked possible speechless if The Libs are headlining next year

Biffy maybe, and a really slight maybe, I can't see it personally, I don't have any evidence to back up my thinking I just can't see them being booked to headline

Uninspiring? Think they're incredible live. 

 

they probably are (haven't seen them since they rose to headliner size, but i always enjoyed them way back when) but there are much better bookings the festival could be making - bookings that every other festival hasn't made over the past three years. Biffy will no doubt remain festival headliners for a good few years, but their success has massively relied on the success of Only Revolutions. the last album didn't do half as well, so it'll be interesting to see if they can boost their popularity back up with the new one, or if they'll just kind of keep being there (sort of like Kings Of Leon these days). i just can't see Glastonbury in a rush to book them when there are far more exciting prospects out there

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
