Xeph1995 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 If rage end up playing Glastonbury the year I fail to get tickets, volunteer or resale I think I'll just give up hope on living, lock myself in my room haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaKate Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 My pyramid times.... 2016- Adele and Coldplay 2017- half of Radiohead, 20 mins of Foos 2019- 20 mins of The Cure So I'm about 3/9 for time spent, 5/9 for views This year I'm likely going to be 3/3 on the pyramid but now I'm scared of what theyve pulled out for the 50th and some insane clashes could sway me elsewhere.

They’ll say Arsenal is playing Chelsea, rather than ‘are playing’. Sounds really odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a strange American thing, “Rage Against the Machine is playing Glastonbury”. No. They’re a band, not a single person. They are playing. Fucking hear hear. "Manchester United is doing poor at the moment". Infuriating. While I'm at it, is everyone on earth just OK with the word TEXTED being used? "He texted me". Fucking what? TEXT works fine. Also fuck Rage clashing with Macca. Edited November 24, 2019 by Stokesy10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticklemeelmo Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I posted this in the RATM thread but the follower count on the RATM screenshot is at 266k which, according to Social Blade, was their follower count on Friday so the screenshot must’ve been from that day if real. Seems suspicious that this wasn’t reported until now. I’m going with fake. Wasn’t the rumor that they’re were only doing the US anyways? Also, the Trump picture seems too on the nose. Looks like something Green Day would use, not RATM. Edited November 24, 2019 by ticklemeelmo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's been faked, it'll be faked by an American. They wouldn't put "Somerset", well - I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fb post was Australia and posted at 5am UK time Sunday.... Anyway, my head hurts now but you get what I mean maybe Edited November 24, 2019 by caballosblancos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticklemeelmo Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Also, the screenshot said it had zero likes. Sure it was only posted for a minute but shit gets liked on Instagram super fast. You’d figure someone out of the 266k followers would’ve seen and liked it in that minute.

He makes a good point, but surely it's possible that they are just doing Rock AM Ring and not its sister festival on this occasion (has happened before according to Wiki here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_am_Ring_and_Rock_im_Park - see fifth sentence) and that they are being announced on top of the already announced headliners - the announcement of them reforming is still very recent after all.

If its Pet Shop Boys then I am watching them. RATM would be interesting. Metal is not something I listen to at home but find it interesting from a live perspective.
