Depeche Mode were also fucking sick at Mad Cool - ten times better than at Rock Werchter in 2013. My dad's agronomist went to IOW and said they were shit but he loves Kasabian so I didn't really put too much stock in his opinion, although I did watch the highlights and thought they looked a bit naff.

I seen them at the Waldbuhne in Berlin at their final gig on this tour, the week after Mad Cool. It was so much better at their own gig. Unreal experience.

My mates loved them at Mad Cool, said it was really good. I just thought it was a bit meh compared to their own gigs. I would not bother with them at a festival ever again.

Never seen them at a festival, saw them at Leeds in '13 and Manchester last year. Both in my all-time top 25 gigs. Sensational, particularly on the latter occasion.

I went to the Manchester gig mate, was really good. Nothing compared to them in Germany, absolutely unreal experience.

Would love to see Abba headline, doubt it will happen though, unless someone can tell me something different :)

Definitely not happening. The stuff they're lining up will be holograms, we ain't seeing holograms headline the Pyramid. Thank God.

Pearl Jam are simple - they’re great if you’re a fan, but if you’re not then you’ll likely be a bit bored and underwhelmed.

I was at Mad Cool and thought they sounded great but was bored for long periods of Pearl Jam. Quite samey and they go on a bit. Great singer but you don't have to sing every bar.

Pyramid stage

Friday: kasabian

Saturday: foals 

Sunday: abba

Other stage:

Friday: clean bandit

Saturday: the courteeners

Sunday: Stormzy

Jon peel

Friday: Interpol

Saturday: the vaccines

Sunday: two door cinema club

Jeez: Friday night at the JP would be ok, but every single other headliner there is absolutely bloody dreadful. If that were to come to fruition I’d be in T+C all weekend!

He's doing it just to get that reaction pal, just ignore him.

Ah! Duly noted. Though tbf a Glastonbury festival spent entirely in non-musical areas does seem like a brilliant idea . . . one year!

It can be done, you can find yourself sat anywhere having a drink without caring about anything else. There is usually acts I'd find the need to go and see though.

    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
