Once again, my dreams of T'Pau playing are just china in my hand ?

you have the option of them at plenty of retro-fests if you're really interested? :P

(crap fact of the day: I once had a guy work for me who's girlfriend was Carol Deckers cousin, so he said, anyway)

For my own entertainment (I am an extremely sad man) I decided to have a look at the festival headliners over the past few years and see if any trends/ patterns emerge with the type of acts booked….ev

That would be quite something to make up! ?

and yet I have a strong suspicion that he might have been making it up. :lol:

in fairness, this was back when T'Pau were a thing, and I did meet his girlfriend and there was definitely a Decker resemblance.

I reckon that poster's made by a 50 year old bloke, sitting in his skiddies with nothing better to do. It's 25% stuff that could possibly happen plus his own fantasy line up mixed in. He's got worse taste than me. Though I am a 50 year old bloke sitting in my skiddies.

which really only underlines how difficult a job booking bands must be.

I'd programme a great line-up for the first year or two, but then I'd be stuffed for ideas - and i reckon most people would be the same.

A Decker Double, if you will.

That sucks on so many levels.

No contest for me. WH is it.

Although I saw Macca last time and once (not at GF). So it's probably an easier decision for me. Plus I don't have to sit through new Macca tracks which I'm not really interested in, tbh.

I've set my heart of HC@WH, so it HAS to happen now!

I'm seeing him on Sunday night so in theory I should have had have my fill by the time June rolls round, but I'm a sucker for a huge event on the Pyramid and Macca will certainly be that. Besides, he's Paul fucking McCartney! A fucking Beatle! Realisticaly I'm going to have plenty more opportunities to see Hot Chip in the future than Macca.

Macca headlined my first ever Glasto, after 2019 I'm not sure how many more I'll do (tickets and a growing family permitting) so if this is to be the last one for a while I like the symmetry.

Macca on the Pyramid is a no brainer, but aye it's a painful one.

Please don't put doubt in my mind.

The clash is made painful by not only being Hot Chip, but on West Holts too. Perfect band/stage combo. It's like attacking a level 100 Dragonite with a level 70 Pikachu. Pikachu would be super effective, but Dragonite is just too damn strong for it to matter.

:blink:

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
