Who signed off on this poster? 

Also, chances that it’ll be cancelled?

Where's that headshot come from and how old is it? He looks like Matt Goss.

I've loved that band, I really have.  And their little place in the pantheon is secured, but they've been trading on past victories for an awfully long time now.  I mean, fair fucks to 'em, but you can just imagine what a bucket-hatted, paunched-out sadfest those shows will be!

Seen them a couple of times and theyre better than you might think..

Hahahaha. I really got to question people seeing the Happy Mondays in 2019. It’s the equivalent of going to see Freddie & The Dreamers in 1991

Meh, most bands do it, its a way to make a living and if people wanna go and relive past glorys or I guess younger geberations get to see them for the first time its all good. I can think of bands that are from well before the Happy Mondays doing it still.

My parents still go and see the fella from Dr Hook in concert every year. Think i know who I'd prefer to see!

Yep. The sneering comments don’t make sense to me. Considering the shite served up at the brits last night to have a go at a band who actually had personality and clearly lived the life is strange.

i’m off to dig out a bucket hat

In any case, Freddie and the Dreamers 1991 ‘Greatest Hits’ Tour was the stuff of legends.

More importantly it is listed as a UK festival exclusive, I can hear the collective cries of disappointment from here.

The first London date is, which is the one I wanted to go to.

[FakeEmpire]

Ah, sorry - I hadn't noticed that one!

Oh well, Stereolab aren't a Greenman festival exclusive, right? Surely they'll be at Glastonbury. John Peel headliner?

More on Michael Rother. Thurston Moore supporting and Steve Davis doing the after party DJ set.

Seeing as they aren't headlining Green Man, I reckon they wouldn't headline a Glastonbury main stage, Green Man's headliners tend to translate as Park or West Holts headline sized acts.

Notwithstanding the odd anomaly like Peej, TWOD and Fleet Foxes.

pretty much any band or artist declared as "exclusive" to another festival seems to be able to appear at Glastonbury listed under "Special guests" or not even listed at all anyway.

Presumably "exclusive" just means you can't advertise them.
