I kinda mean that it feels like there aren't many acts who have come along since the 90's that could cut it as a 2020 50th anniversary headliner, and that reflects badly on the 00's.

Maybe it's slightly to do with my age, but I can't name many bands since the 90s who have attained the level of prestige that was quite quickly attained by the likes of Coldplay, Radiohead, Oasis, Muse, Blur, etc

Things are different now though I guess. Hmmm.

 

muse and coldplay are bands from the 00s rather than the 90s arent they?

Are we getting a WH announcement? Missed that info over the weekend

Muse formed in 94 and Coldplay 96, whilst they were bigger in early 00s they were starting their gigging mid-late 90s

Well no, but still see both those bands starting to make their mark late 90s

The impact of Pablo Honey, Radiohead's magnum opus, was certainly felt instantly in 1993.

Fair enough but I was talking about muse / Coldplay starting to be heard late 90s

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Well, Yellow came out in 2000 so not sure Coldplay can be seen as a 90's band can they? And I don't think many people had heard of Muse until 2000/01, I appreciate the point but I don't think you can lump Coldplay and Muse into the 90's bands tag.

Bloody hell yellow came out that many years later wow

I always remember Sunburn that came out late 90s, but yeah probably right they are more a 00s band

Muse's debut album came out in 1999 and they were doing decent festival slots on the back of it (headlined the NME tent at R&L in 2000 alongside Ian Brown and Embrace) so a fair amount of people must have heard that first album. It had Sunburn, Muscle Museum and Unintended on it which used to be played pretty regularly on music tv when I watched it back in ~2007, so I imagine they were big-ish singles within the alternative music scene back then.

On the whole though you'd defo call em a 00s band, yeah, but wasn't the point that there haven't been bands who've come about since the 90s who've had this immediate impact?

Just saw that, looks like their album came out in late '99, I can't even remember what the original point was now

[big__phil]

Based on nothing at all, I predict we'll have Glade and/or T&C this week.

What West Holts announcement??????

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Are we moving away from thinking Silver Hayes on Tuesday and WH on Thursday for this week?

[Bradders]

From what I've seen: Tuesday Silver Hayes is definitely happening. Someone called doobeedoo or something (sorry, forgot the name) heard it at the ETC.

@eFestivals knows when the next announcement coming but isn't allowed to say.

West Holts I haven't seen anything about, I think it was just speculation.

[Guy Incognito]

As much as I'm looking forward to the WH announcement its gonna hurt if A Tribe Called Quest really are headlining the Friday

[billum]

At the ETC event it was disclosed, and reported in this very parish, that we'll get Silver Hayes tomorrow (time not specified), and West Holts "soon after". So I've suggested Thursday for WH, but it could be two weeks after! Unlikely to be that long though with the number of stages that need to reveal line-ups in the next four or five weeks before the BIG POSTER.

Yes I'd expect T&C to pull back the curtain on their line up soon too, they tend to be an early revealer.

One advantage of this snap election is the next one will be in 2022 not 2020 and we are saved from a deluge of different versions of that joke.

How do the stages rank in order of size/capacity and which are in tents

I'll have a go:

1. Pyramid - Open Aire
2. Other - Open Air
3. West Holts - Open Air
4. John Peel - Tent
5. The Park Stage - Open

Then I'm not sure, In fact 4&5 might be the wrong way round, but then there's tents like

• Acoustic
• Avalon
• Leftfield
• Sonic
• Avalon Cafe

Then loads of others, mainly tents, but some are open or semi open (in the case of The Glade)
