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. Edited February 22, 2019 by GETOFFAMYLAWN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscore Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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.

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 If Ride play to an empty tent then can be they said to have been pioneers of shoegaze or merely popularizers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
