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

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.

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

I grew up on the Mondays and Black Grape. They were the staple diet along with the other 2 bands that I never speak about. 

I have not seen the Mondays since V Fest about 10 years ago. I am due to see them but may hang on till the inevitable joint Mondays/Black Grape tour.

Will be interested to see what they are actually like as every time I have seen them, I was a flying with the fairies.

Aren't they? Its not like JPT tends to have huge names headlining. Plus surely this being a reunion tour gives them some extra points?

They're not huge names but bigger names than Stereolab, for sure. I think Ride must have caused a bigger splash when they returned and they only played early evening on the John Peel. Would anticipate maybe sub/third on the Park for Stereolab.

to be fair Ride's positioning seemed to surprise everyone who was making stage predictions

Saw them headline Godiva a few years back. Pretty good, and honestly way better than I expected, given they're not the sort of band that trades on their live reputation.

Aye, but they’re playing Dunfermline. We don’t get a lot up here. The alternatives around that time.... I checked..... were Les McKeowns Bay City Rollers, Jimmy Carr or the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. Beauty of the Alhambra is if it’s sh1te I can walk home in 5 minutes with my maracas and bucket hat.

I hear people are still watching Beethoven tribute acts. Losers.

Hahaha. Is that really the best you got? That’s your justification for the Monday’s being a going concern and charging money in 2019? Really?

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!

This is a very accurate and succinct description of my life.

Brother, I hear you but I live in Moscow, a place that makes Dunfermline (and your list) look like a thriving hub of contemporary culture.

Ahh don’t do this Mardy. People like to be reminded of their younger days, and live music is a good escape route for it.

I know man, I know. Exactly why I deleted my post yesterday evening. I get it, I really do. I don’t agree with it, but I do understand it.
