What happened to him, did he bid us all farewell or just vanish?

I think he's still around just doesn't post much these days. I miss his irrational/rational hatred of most things Dave Grohl

Nothing will beat the current New Order situation. 3 of the original members currently touring and releasing music under the New Order moniker. They have to licence the name from the original holding company.

The ex  bass player from New Order is going round touring entire albums of both New Order and their previous incarnation of Joy Division. Best part is he gets someone in Australia to make the synth parts and backing tracks, gets someone else to sing lyrics he did not write and gets someone else to play his bass parts.

So there are 2 bands going about doing the material of two separate bands, each with out the original members.

Could only be the members of New Order.

I’m waiting for Peter Hook to tour the ochestral re-workings of The Other Two’s oeuvre.

But we'll have had twice the length of time since the last festival. The 2015 thread truly was our 'Nam.

Sometimes I have nightmares that the last 3 years of my life were a dream I'm waking up from, it's really still 2015 and we don't know the third headliner.

Everything just fell together to create a perfect storm:

  • Kanye's booking and the subsequent reaction.
  • Sprinty Dave pulling out and the clamour to replace him
  • THE THIRD HEADLINER!!

It was a like we shall never see again... until the 2020 headliner thread when people start banging on about Led Zeppelin reunions.

    • I’ve also got a media contact who gets hospitality tickets, he says their allocation of them is slightly reduced this year. The few Off site ultra expensive glamping/hospitality ticket packages mostly sold out a while ago. Some just after the 2025 festival ended. 
    • No one mentioned this here yet, but regular tickets for Sunday, the 30th of August, are again on sale
    • Not seen anything on socials or main website so far on the Bimble Inn line-up.
    • Current top 10 - constantly changing, though  Pulp  Madra Salach  Angine De Poitrine / Brakes (worried they're gonna clash)  Joshua Idehen  Anna von Hausswolff Super Fury Animals  Bab L'Buz  SLAG Model/Actriz  Modern Woman 
    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
