2007 was a totally different story. No late night options really as it was pre SE corner, Stone Circle wasnt an option as it was pissing rain and Lost Vagueness was coming to an end. The weather was utterly appalling and the lineup was a load of old bollocks.

I still have nightmares about just how terrible 2007 in terms of weather, but had blotted out how bad the lineup actually was.

That said the Saturday Other run from CSS through to Iggy was ok.

Eh it was stuff that was popular at the time and you loved it.

Just popped up on my phone Emily has done an interview with George Ezra on his podcast.

Possibly no info given away but it's probably quite interesting...

I dunno, I made some pretty poor choices that year. I'm still not allowed to live down seeing Kasabian over Arcade Fire.

No new info on the George Ezra podcast that I noticed. Quite a nice little chat to have on in the background though

Those missteps are all part of the ride.

True.

A George Ezra podcast? That’s the most boring thing I’ve heard since Elbow brewed their own beer.

Interesting that in this interview Emily mentions the "metal (rock) slot" on the Friday late afternoon. Motorhead, ZZ Top, Royal Blood being the last 3 acts to play 3rd from top on the Friday...

This would probably suggest that that they've got somebody booked for it this year. Iggy Pop maybe?

To be fair to George it's pretty good, nothing earth shattering but a nice chat. From the festival point of view all that you could really take from it is the festival is about as big as it's ever going to be. Someone had asked for a new stage for new international artists but they said no.

There's talk of how they pay less than other festivals and how they push the point about making money afterwards due to the exposure. She spilled the beans on Kylie but he obviously kept it quiet until now.

The Friday Metal slot is now officially a thing!

 

[Gucci Piggy]

Okay that's an actual interesting bit of info. Please be Iggy.

Alice in Chains are I Europe that June. Clutching at straws I think. 

[dentalplan]

Limp Bizkit might be available on the Friday.

[Gucci Piggy]

No thanks! It's taken me 28 years to get over their performance at Monsters of Rock. Awful

The only thing I noticed is that she said Kylie made an appearance with Pet shop boys ?! Didn't she mean Scissor sisters ?

Bjork, Africa Express and Arcade Fire were good. The rest was really, really hard work.

I think iggy pop and the stooges played that year--very enjoyable. Also spiritualized did an acoustic late slot on the park stage which was good. John Fogherty too (cheesier than I was expecting but still enjoyed it). I think there were quite a few good, underrated sets in 2007 despite the weather
