That's bold from the Beeb.

He's definitely gonna struggle with the long shouty bit for monkey wrench

Just a few beverages tonight Neil?

Is it obligatory to enjoy, or pretend you're enjoying, yourself now? Seems perfectly fair to me that somebody might go to something exclusive but not think much of it. Plus the ticket he got wasn't generally available. Someone did him a favour. 

Not at all Kali, but at the same time to be at something exclusive and limited on a freebie and to actively deride it live on multiple forums to fans who would have loved the chance to be there is a bit of a kick in teeth.

Hm that is interesting. Could just be a mistake but the fact it's from the BBC definitely adds some credibility to it.

On the idea that the streamed is behind, you need earplugs NOW 

Or just turn down the volume?

That's a fair comment.

Only on my second beer. I'll be far less reasonable in about an hour

pretty odd mistake to make. if it was 2 of last year's headliners you could understand them mixing it, but those 2 names are a bit odd to randomly pluck from anywhere, Green Day especially.

[Hotchilidog]

Seriously if Green Day play Sunday on the other stage, I will do my nut. Turning out to be quite the fun evening

I can neither or confirm or deny this 

[slash's hat]

Confession time

 

[scaryclaireyfairy]

I'm worn out with drum noodling.  I'm now far less likely to see them than I have been at any point in this.

Isn't that the point of going to see a band though, to enjoy it?

Green Day hasn't been reported anywhere other than on here, has it? So it's not like it's a wild rumour that got included by mistake, like the mention of Sheeran. Definitely comes across as someone letting slip something that has been confirmed in private but not publicly announced.

[Lucy92]

Singing my heart out to this. On my own. In bed. Wild Friday night for me

Yeah pretty exciting to be getting all this all of a sudden after months of near enough nothing

Needs more of Ed O'Brien's sweet backing vocals.

[Funkyfairy!]

Pre Glastonbury I need to walk miles to exercise and get my leg muscles ready, Dave I think needs a little singing practice and work those vocal chords. As much as I like them, I can't remember him sounding so rough before, or maybe its just because I'm not there --- no-one sounds as good on a stream . Be interesting to see what everyone who is there, apart from Neil think of the performance tonight

He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If he'd said it was great then there'd be snidey "You've changed your tune" comments. Glad he got a ticket (he's earnt that right with this forum) and equally I'd expect an honest opinion from Neil. He went as not a fan and nothing has changed his mind. I think i would have been the same.

Because quite a few acts have done if before & we've had info saying they'll headline Other v Foos 

Was the actual info against Foo's?, if so fair enough but I can't remember that.

So we'd be looking at Alt-J, Skepta, BBK
