Is his t-shirt saying "Whose Stupid Idea Was This?" I like the fact a while ago he said he was cutting down on some of these kind of endurance gig tests, then did a run of doing shows in all 50 US states in 50 days and now this. But good on him for still at this point having the physical stamina to do all of this. I might've been available for either Leamington Spa or Leighton Buzzard but was caught out by the sale times and missed out.

This is probably my last Glastonbury too, Ive been going since 1982, only missing 84, 85 and 89 I’ve worked there for 25 years and I turn 70 the week before the festival so time to call it a day. I’m just going to go round my favourite places and say a quiet goodbye and have a pint. Of course, come Monday morning I’ll have changed my mind so see you next year as well. -
It is pretty strange. It's like Queen going on without Mercury or INXS without Hutchence.

Franz Ferdinand's third album seems to have been a tilt-point in a way. I like Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, but it didn't seem to have the crossover hits like the first two acts did, plus the two year gestation period saw them kinda drift away from bill-toppers thoughts (even if they did have some decent spots in 2009) and I also wonder if there was a conscious choice from the band that they preferred playing smaller venues to doing arena tours. They also nearly broke up before releasing Right Thoughts..., and in coming back in 2013/14, by that point the ship had kinda sailed for being a bill-topper. They're still quite effective though. Seen them live several times and usually have an excellent time, and still seem to be a solid choice for mid-range festivals (think they've done Truck and Y Not, for instance) or supporting indie mega-stars like Killers or Kings of Leon, both of whom they've opened for at UK/Ireland festivals. Indeed, I would've already booked a ticket for KoL at Hyde Park if Franz were the opener, which I had been hoping for but it ain't to be.
