Ok, hands up, who would have predicted that the only person not to cancel a gig in the summer of 2020 would be Sam Fender?

It actually clearly states at the bottom of that poster that there wont be any jazz

They’re very big at the moment so I don’t think it’ll be too bad for them. Shame they’re f**king terrible as it’s always good and increasingly rare to see a heavy band making waves so quickly in this day and age.

Me and my friends are listening to an album a day this year. We take it in turns between the four of us to rotate the choices, and then give it a first impression rating, a favourite/least favourite track, and any 'notes' we'd like to pass on. One of my friends added the new Sleep Token album because he's somewhat into that scene, liked Vore, and knew it had a lot of discussion. 

Good grief. I'm fairly into metal, but I thought it was genuinely unlistenable. The production is absolutely vile, so synthetic and boggy, I could not stand it. Plus, the 'Pop'/'RnB' tracks on it are some of the worst songs I have ever heard, I genuinely cannot fathom how or why they are so revered. 

Between the four of us, all variously into metal, some of us thoroughly into it, I think the highest rating it got was a 3/10.

How the times change.

Wonder how many instances we have of Glastonbury headliners supporting Glastonbury headliners. Must be a few.

More common back in the non-Global megastar era - I’m sure Muse and Ash toured, and Coldplay and Ash too for that matter

I saw Muse and Ash in a tent in Cork back in (I think) 2001. It was billed more as a double-headline show than one supporting the other.

Obviously at that point Muse had yet to headline Glastonbury, and for my taste Ash being former headliners only applies on a technicality.

That reminds me of Professor Green supporting Fall Out Boy. Made no sense.

It was in the era when he was married to the Quality Street heir (or recently divorced). I assumed at the time it was a buy-on.

Yeah there are large portions of their music where they’re barely even a rock band and it’s quite hilarious to see all these metal head types who would usually look down on and sneer at anything pop/RnB leaning all hyping this band up because they wear masks and robes. I’m all for blending genres if it works but I find their blend of metal and rnb with buttrock vocals so lame.

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.

      Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.

      Top Ten ‘Must See’ Acts

      Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
