Anyone have any idea on ticket prices for Kings Of Leon as of yet. Not for me however my brother loves them so would be a perfect birthday present.

Fair chance most of those support acts will be there, although Courteeners again on other will be getting a bit too predictable.

Don't know if it's right or not but someone told me Courteeners had confirmed they weren't playing in an NME interview on YouTube.

Didn’t they have to pull a few US dates on the No Filter tour? Might be putting that right.

Worth remembering that last year when I ran the “set of the weekend” vote one hundred and sixty different sets were nominated.

Not one person put the Courteeners in their top three.

That's a solid announcement. I'd watch 6 of their top sections and probably 4 below. One would presume that if Dickie doesn't do Glastonbury this year being the 50th then it's purely not happening.

I'd never listened to their music, but had heard of Black Country, New Road before I caught their gig in Edinburgh the other day. They are currently on tour in the UK, and most of their shows are sold out (including Edinburgh). Do they live up to the hype? Yes, but not without some reservations. For this non-initiated listener they reminded me of some bands from the 'No New York' compilation album, especially their music’s distinctive freakiness. But their performance is more controlled and organized, and their technical prowess undeniable.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if they'll end up as the next Arcade Fire, as touted in an Internet review I read recently. IMHO, at the moment, their material is not quite catchy enough to gain mass appeal. It remains to be seen whether they'll reach a wider audience beyond indy connoisseurs.

Confused the shit out of me that did. I'm from Black Country and there's a road called Black Country New Road.

They were a fun enough post-Gallagher laugh.

Assume it's just something he's doing when not with Queen, not sure it needs more thought than that,

It's just the name of his new solo album.

Fuck. I don't even know if I'll be working then or not. Wondering if I should fly over or wait for a mainland UK date ?

No idea if this would appeal to anyone here. I personally believe it's the worst line up of any festival ever but it seems to sell tickets every year

1. I can't judge, I have no idea who any act on that poster is 

2. They seem to have booked about 30 acts then spread over every stage to make it look like 100+

3. I imagine their Icon stage has a fair bit different energy to the one at Glastonbury

I’m sure in the past I’ve at least heard of the headliners. Never heard of a single name on there.

Not even Bob Harris OBE?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is he similar to Bob Harrison?
