I'd like to cram in as much Ezra as possible from now on, to make up for all the years I never bothered paying him any attention because somebody had told me he was "a rockabilly singer".

Was that at Colston? He was great.

That said the x2 records before the latest are both fantastic (I'm not quite as keen on the latest one, but the singles were great), so preferred the set a couple of years ago. But there you go. 

Would love to see him back at Glastonbury. Was a highlight on the Park the other year.

It was indeed.  The energy they put in and also some of the issues he mentioned were really powerful.  Great to have artists prepared to speak out about the important things and get personal too, bless 'im.

A bloody good Kate Bush cover too ;) 

I didn't see him at the Park and would welcome him back with loving arms in any form.

Saw Ezra on the Park a few years ago and he was awesome in that mid afternoon slot.

Really is no better venue to watch a band than mid afternoon on the Park with a cider in hand. That might be my absolutely favourite part of Glastonbury. I'd go and see anyone in that slot to make sure I get that experience, even if it's an act i'm not familiar with! Really is an example of how the stage/atmosphere can mean more than the bands themselves.

100% agree with the Park being awesome. I love being able to flit between there and the crow's nest/the bar up near the sign.

Is there any reason why no one is mentioning Kendrick to headline? would love to see him and thought he was in with a chance for 2019.

He's expensive and DAMN. would be 3 years old by 2019 (with no sign of a new album coming out anytime soon)

I opted for The Chems over The Who and don’t regret it, what storming set that was.

Which Year?!

i did the same in 07 - then they clashed again in 15 but I wasn’t there that year so didn’t have to choose - but I’d probably have done it again :ph34r:

Too expensive, hasn’t announced any dates for next year, it’s too soon after the Kanye debacle to realistically hope the Eavii pluck up the courage to book another black American rapper just yet, only seems to play for an hour at festivals, wouldn’t agree to be televised... all sorts of obstacles there unfortunately.

No but the reaction to him being booked was Emily getting a torrent of abuse, and that furore in turn apparently nipped in the bud what turned out to be the last chance of getting Prince to Worthy Farm, so whether rightly or wrongly you can understand them not rushing into risking a repeat.

Supposedly he was the mysterious Sunday headliner who, on seeing the reaction to Kanye, dropped out before ever being announced. We’ll never know but it sounds very plausible, and Emily has also said in interviews that they came within a whisker of having him play not long before he passed.

15! Wasn’t old enough to be going back in 07 unfortunately.

Latest from Neil is that that didn't happen. Apparently someone was claiming to represent him in the hopes of making it happen or something and the Eavii thought it was possible, but it turned out not to be.

Ah right, I see. Sounds like a classic case of a popstar’s estate setting up a fall guy to make themselves look better, but I suppose if true it’s a good thing that Lonsdale didn’t rob us of that moment. Whatever tbh.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
