Everyone has been arguing about whether both Gallagher brothers will be subbing the Pyramid. Can't believe no one has but 2 and 2 together and realised that a reformed Oasis are replacing Macca.

If they did, better be better than last time.

Imagine.... the internet would break and most of the other stages would be be empty when they played... health and safety wouldnt allow it ha

Dont let the door hit you on the way out! :D

Maybe I'm just a miserable hipster, but Ed/Foos are as vanilla as they come! At least Stormzy and The Cure are a bit out there, Strokes are a tough one to work out but I like them and enjoyed them at Reading 2012, so would see again if nothing else was on

2 of my favourite bands and one of my fave rappers... second to none headliners for me in 2008... 

I agree, very good year imo.

If what people are saying about this year is true it could be mistaking for the other stage line up rather than the Pyramid stage.

Although, I'll happily see the strokes as I've never seen them before and I'll more than likely see the cure for the same reason.

Ed/Foos are both boring you aren't wrong. There haven't be too many amazing headliners in recent years I don't think. There have been good ones but nothing like Muse 2004

Would it be that weak though or is it more a case of not liking the act? Because there's a big difference..

I love The Strokes, like The Cure. Stormzy isn't my bag but I get why it's a strong booking

Plenty of acts have been and gone I have no time for; Arcade Fire, Adele, Metallica, Ed Sheeren, Muse to name a few but I understand why some, if not all, are strong bookings. I think it's quite easy to label headline acts weak

I'm genuinely quite taken back by the rep of The Strokes on here, it has been an eye opener

I would be more likely to catch the strokes as they have a handful of good songs... the cure insult my ears... :D

Didn't everyone agree they're too small to headline? Although IF it's a last minute cover booking I could see it given they're around with the new album coming

They have subbed. So natural progression is heading the other stage or the pyramid. I love them personally so im more than happy they headline the other

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
