Yeah I mean this could flop. An act that isn’t really relevant in the U.K. coming over and miniming. I won’t be surprised if it’s one of those crowds where people are talking throughout the whole set.

We'll see. But there were similar reactions when she was announced as a headliner at several festivals in the USA in 2018. It ended up being all about her. Twitter was burning with positive comments and one of her performances at those festivals is the concert with the largest audience in 2018 in the USA. I believe in her and I know that many people have prejudices but I'm not worried about it. She's amazing live.

Yeah she could kill it. I really don’t know anything about her she could be the underdog of the lineup.

seeing as most reactions to the lineup don’t seem to care whether she is there or not.

Put the 86-96 hits on for the journey home. Funny enough it's that New Jack sound that probably does it for me most. Certainly starting to remember more tunes.

Unlikely I'll be there, but seems legit to be on the big pointy bastard

reminds me a lot about a geezer who posted here a lot singing the wonders of Rod Stewart many years ago.

That geezer's IP traced back to an office involved in the management of Rod. Around the same time I got a call from as friend at GFL, asking me nicely if I'd list Rod as headliner, because he was threatening to pull out because he wasn't listed here as headliner.

Bizarre, and very very funny. :lol: 

Ha! I keep thinking of that poor c**t Jens Wildman. Your site attracts these single-issue voters from time to time Mr G.

I was a big fan of Janet back in the day. I especially loved Rythm Nation 1814. So I am planning on seeing her (unless she clashes with another act).

Nah. The Tetrahedral Twat is one stage that demands a performance. Someone with a beautiful voice who's diffidently mumbling and staring at their shoes would be better off on the acoustic stage with all the chin-stroking real ale dads.

But you've got to have the vocal chops  for it.

Dolly is the landmark case in this question. 

Former poster The Tony Bliars seemed to prove that she mimed by comparing the fucking soundwaves of her vocal tracks from various concerts a few weeks later.

I still dug the gig.

It's March. Come June I'll be dancing like a tit to anything, so I might as well seem discerning while I can

Has anyone mimed at Glastonbury before (like is known to have or highly susoected). I think its really bad of a festival to allow miming, you either rock the place out or die on your shield for me. Any act miming can fuck right off.

Haven't been remotely interested in investigating myself but there has been talk that Dolly mimed. Dolly was on the farm and rocked out a performance that kept everyone happy. Good times.

I've avoided this thread all day because I thought it would be full of irrelevant discussions about Michael Jackson and whether his paedo tendencies should be taken into account when booking his sister. 

But no! Janet's agent is here to teach us all about her influence on Oasis, how she invented at least 2 non existent musical genres and why she's headlining.

Partly, she has complicated dance moves. But even that doesn't seem like that. Those vocals are pre-recorded and she has an amazing band. Sometimes she's 100% live, so this might be the case at the festival.

She partly mimes so she can dance about a bit? Sometimes she's 100% live? Fuck that shit.

All in all, I wish I'd called by sooner, comedy gold.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
