Any of their gigs??? Not sure how them headlining 2 festivals makes them a shoe in to headline other at glasto..... zero logic there. 

Not that I dont think they wont or shouldn't. I bloody hope they do... them and Vampire weekend.

the logic if they were playing IOW or R&L they'd be exclusive at 1 big fest, the fact they are doing medium festivals which will sell well and are doing the rounds makes them more likely for Glasto, but not at the top table.

For me it's the Glastonbury shaped hole in their tour dates between their last UK show in Bournemouth on 26th June and their Dublin show on 2nd July, think it's pretty likely at this point. I'm thinking Other headliner on the Friday.

I'm thinking you're very likely correct, no way are they going to put them on again The Cure....tbh I'm unsure it should be Other headliner and not sub. Regardless of my thoughts to them it's not a glowing choice of options is it in Stormzy, Foals or Orbital

Would be great for me as nobody would clash with the Foals then happy days.

They would headline it but they could sub it, they were only that level a few years ago. They sold their reading day but it was when tickets were right down to £66 a day ticket with fees.

You might not like Foals (why btw?) but they’re clearly too big to be considered to sub the Other stage. And £66 is hardly massively discounted.

It is when you consider the prices now. I'm fairness this is quite a good account because usually I'd not have even give them JP headliner. I think they are shite but that's nothing to do with the size I'd put them to, as I say probably other headliner but bands have done more than them and subbed it.

Judging by your rep I'm not sure your comments go down the best so maybe look at yourself before others eh

Wasn't that the price of all day tickets then?

They went down in price for a couple of years and have now gone back up, a rise of £10 again is still quite substantial and the Foos day is £15 dearer before fees than that period, not massively far off it's highest day ticket point.

my rep is damaged because i thought slaves could headline latitude 2015. I was wrong. I look back and laugh.

 

Your rep is damaged because you sprout shite 24/7

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
