Seems to have been a roaring success. I hope so, I think eavis has been testing thr waters for heavier acts last few years with a few bookings here and there abd then last year the small stage by the truth stage. And they have gone down well. Hopefully itll carry on in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree it's time for more heavy acts: specifically Def Leppard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Sure. Or take something in away from listening to music. They have rock music programmed from breakfast thru til midnight. After that, try something different or catch some z’s. You don’t see Steve D’n’B moaning that Arcadia doesn’t start early enough. He’s in bed until 4pm because that fits with his side of the festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you know if there was one rock place, it’d probably get too crowded and not be worth the effort. There's never too much rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Keep the metal fans occupied after hours by erecting a marquee with a sign outside promising Cock and Ball Torture and the rest writes itself and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same class of stains wore silly wigs with headbands and brought inflatable miniature pink guitars to Metallica. The sort of thing accountants find hilarious at work parties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant tell if your actually being serious, theres a shit tonne of venues down in the se corner etc, why do they ALL have to play the same kind of tunes? noones trying to take your precious d&b away itd just be nice to have a few venues playing an alternative, are only electronic music fans allowed to have a nightlife?

I wont lie though it was a good feeling when I was waiting around for napalm death and seeing the crowd just totally change as they were near coming on to what id expect to see at somewhere like download rather then Glastonbury.......it was like `yeah....these people get it! , they know whats about to happen` im not going to have to worry about `offending` the totally unaware of the music person next to me when I go apeshit the moment the first riff kicks in. It was like a sea of metal fans came out of nowhere, the contrast with the crowd for the act before the new york brass band was quite amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no relationship with drum'n'bass and rarely spend much time going to late-night venues specifically for the music, yet I can still accept people can have their thing at one time of day and I can have mine at another. It would be taking away from other folk because the festival is pretty packed out as it is and new venues usually come at the expense of old ones. Anyway, they're playing 'the same tunes' as much as anyone who picks up a guitar is playing 'the same tunes', just because you're not bothered about it doesn't make it all one-tone stuff.

Code Orange, Mastodon, Deafheaven, Ghost, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, Converge, Deftones, Electric Wizard, Architects, Gojira, Baroness, Pallbearer would all go down well.
