They've been sound checking Optimistic in this tour, will they play it? Will they fuck.

Yep been waiting for it to pop up all tour (and secretly hoping it was gonna come at Glastonbury). Shame - would've loved for that to be brought back. Was the instant favourite (for obvious reasons) on my first few listens through Kid A.

It's really happening! The band who saved the festival from certain ruin in 2003 after the shitstorm of the superfence and rod stewart have come riding to the rescue again to banish the memories of la

This isn't a "Aren't Radiohead so fucking brilliant post"...well, maybe...but are there any other bands around that could have everyone on tenterhooks with regards to what songs there going to play on a tour that's over a year old?

 

 

Well most bands don't vary their setlists as much as Radiohead do.

 

Buf mostly it's just because Radiohead fans are mental. As evidenced by this thread :lol:

This is nothing compared to the setlist agonies and ecstasies that Springsteen fans go through 

Fair enough, didn't think about him. I only own one Bruce album - Nebraska. Can't imagine he plays much off that?

Bob Dylan probably puts his fans through the ringer too, I imagine. Even if you get your favourite tune on the night, he's liable to do a 23-minute "reworking" of it.

He's actually liable to dip into Nebraska fairly regularly, albeit usually the same 2 or 3 songs - I think he's played Johnny 99 at just about every show I've ever seen.  He was doing a rollicking big band version of Open All Night a few years back.

In recent years Dylan's sets have become fairly static, but back in the day he definitely also mixed it up a bit.

Nebraska is a great album, albeit one I'm likely to stick on on a Sunday morning hangover/ comedown. Mad to think he went from that to Born In The USA in 3/4 years. I should investigate him more really.

Springsteen/ Dylan/ Radiohead then?

Luck of the draw with Bruce. Due to his pledge to play The River in full across America last year, the US arena setlists were fairly static. 

But then by the time he crashed into Europe, it was anybody's guess again. Picked out a cover of CCR's Travelin' Band on a whim the night I caught him.

Is the front bit actually sectioned off from the general admission? Got here late and have just got stuck in the general bit but with front tickets but can't really see a way forward 

edit: never mind sorted

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.

      Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
