Tbh no one else seems to have heard it so I'm starting to think I made it up 😂 but yeah he was definitely on and asked one of those coy questions like "will we see you in a muddy field next summer", which is obviously referencing Glastonbury, and he waffled something about wanting to do something for their own fans instead of a big festival.

To just about everyone else and especially non-UK people it's more likely to be taken as a generic reference to festivals in general. It's like when half the forum convinced themselves that Fleetwood Mac were confirmed because Mick used the expression "muddy field" on stage a few times, as if he could only be thinking about Glastonbury when he was stood in front of 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if the person answering the question was trying to infer Glastonbury specifically, why would a member of The Strokes think of it that way? It's not a festival they've played before, or shown any interest in. To them, a muddy English field is more likely to invoke memories of Leeds or Reading.

Eh, I'd usually agree but this was Matt Everitt and 6. They talk about Glastonbury a LOT and Matt seems to ask everyone about Glastonbury. If you've ever listened to 6 and Matt before, it was incredibly clear that he was referencing Glastonbury. No reaching required at all and definitely not a Fleetwood Mac moment. Doesn't really matter because either way he said they weren't doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
