That or they'll announce Franz Ferdinand again.

It has to be the FOO's this week

 

 

 

every festival under the sun is announcing stuff , whole line ups or head liners,. I am getting a little tired of how Glastonbury say they are different and they will announce when they want. They have sold us the goods now show us the Legend

Didn't we work out that Glastonbury's late announcements are related to how they can pay less to the acts, allowing them to put more stuff on than other festivals?  By not announcing, it stops people from not buying a ticket to see an act at their own concert on the basis that they'll see them anyway at Glasto.

I'm sure they have, or at least the people who think of them as Coldplay would.  The Cold Play lot - they're mental and wouldn't be put off, obviously.

Yes Cold Play was a bad example, they are all well dead weird "as my son would say"

If a bit skint I have done this - not for Coldplay, obviously- for a few bands.

maybe it's just me then . I Don't go to Glastonbury for the music . That's an added Bonus. If I like a band and they are touring I will go and see them even if that means seeing them twice.  I plan to see so many bands at Glasto and only see a fraction so I can't rely on seeing anyone

Normally seeing an act twice wouldn't bother me, if i like them then it's a bonus. However, I did hold off attempting to get Ed Sheeran tickets as with him being pretty much a dead cert, I couldn't justify the cost of seeing him in April when I'm potentially seeing him in June. Although if the Green Day thing comes to light then I won't be seeing him in June.

Is there only me who goes there for the music? I won't lie, most of the other stuff does not interest me in the slightest. Don't get me wrong, Arcadia impressed me the 1st time I seen it. Yet nothing I have seen at Glastonbury has ever had a lasting effect on me.

Now people will laugh here but I found Jodrell bank a far more inspiring place than Glastonbury. The place just blows me away. I came away from there and wanted to study physics. Unfortunately I could not get on any degree course as I had no GCSE's.

If the line up at Glastobury was really bobbins, it would not bother me in the slightest putting my tickets back in the pot.

There's a Dan Brown book in this somewhere

"Michael Eavis is found murdered, his body contorted into the shape of a Pyramid. Tom Hanks and Emily Eavis race against time across the leylines from the John Peel Stage to Croissant Neuf to uncover the truth about Jesus or something. All the while persued by a deranged Melvin Benn..."

I think that's the glories of Glastonbury it is different things to different people. I like the Music but if I was there alone without my friends I most likely wouldn't go a sit's my friends that make it for me just as much as the music and all the other things going on

After the initial excitement this week from Green Day things seem to have got quieter.

Can someone make up a rumour please?

I've heard a rumour that Radiohead are going to pull to of playing Glastonbury due to no1 actually liking them.....

    • RIP Roy Hattersley
    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
