In the space of ten months Travis went from 4th down the second stage at V to headlining the Pyramid. Good lord! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them got bottled off, too. At least Reading is close to town so you could go to the pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 @Gnomicide Ps, I went to Young but mainly cos PJ were his backing band... I’m not sure I’d have made so virtuous a decision otherwise. I did miss Blind Melon (what turned out to be their last UK show...) to go Silverchair so my old me wasn’t a complete genius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyPorter Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) This was my first Reading, I was 10 so most definitely missed that Saturday melody maker double whammy. Have strangely always remembered seeing Tool midday, still never got into them even after that.

Superscally Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 On 2/12/2019 at 5:11 PM, GETOFFAMYLAWN said: It does seem like a lot of places are having a bit of an off-year with the lineups this year. Luckily my number one love Green Man has made, for me, their best first announcement in years. I've got to hand it to R&L also, it's not for me but they've got a good set of bands for their audience there. Primavera have made an entry into the pantheon of all-time great festival lineups this year though, incredible stuff. Despite featuring one of my top three bands in the world, you must be looking at a different Primavera line up to me... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardWaller Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Maybe we're just getting older. Here's my first festival, well the Leeds leg Kinda feel like it was a bit wasted on the 17 year old me, missed so much stuff that evne the 20 year old me would've loved to have seen.

And honestly I dont think that's it when your got Keith urban headlining and EWF and B52s playing... I think the bubble has burst. Theres too many fests and not enough bands who care to play them repeatedly. A lot of the mid US ones have cancelled this year... so that leaves the big ones and the small ones... the winds are changing who knows what it will bring.

Oh no doubt about it there have been a lot of changes. Couldn't even start to count how many festivals have been and gone since my first one in 2000, never mind before then. Does feels like festivals have become less messing about in the mud running from stage to stage and more keeping up appearances for want of a better way of putting it. Glastonbury's still Glastonbury, it's a chameleon of a festival, summat for everyone. Course across the board festivals have got more expensive and coupled with austerity they're a lot less accessible than they used to be. I've got my deposit down but been having doubts whether I can actually afford to go, ticket, travel and food and drink I'm probably looking at three and a bit weeks wages. I've always had a no frills festival experience, but now you get all the glamping and premium packages and all the rest of it. Ah, I'm just rambling incoherently now, but wondering if crudely, the posher side of festivals is going to have a bit more of a backlash since Fyre. Like you say, the winds are changing, who knows what it will bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug85 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I seen the video of Daphne and Celeste being bottled off stage doing the rounds on twitter yesterday, what a strange booking that was from both sides. Assume they walked off in the end? Felt sorry for them, their agent should have warned them! Other one I can remember was that X factor contestant Cher Lloyd having a pint of piss chucked at her at V festival i think? Horrific.

Aye, can be torturous going through old festivals you were at to see what you missed... Seen em a few times since but kin hell that'd have been summat. 1 minute ago, Hugh Jass said: IIRC they did it because they wanted to meet Eminem.... who then pulled out. Yeah, sure they were wearing tops with summat about Eminem on em. Fair play to em going through with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't feel too sorry for em, singing "U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi, you ugly" to that crowd was some top drawer trolling. They had a great time.
