I queued as a youngster to meet Morrissey and look how the fuck that turned out. Although James Corden's utter roasting on a Reddit AMA the other night was glorious.

Glad to see Soak and Mattiel on the bill. In terms of artists this is the number 1 reason I'm gutted to be missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is a strange one for me not many OMG artists but the majority of the line up I would like to see. If it was a football team it'd be no real superstars but real strength in depth. So many clashes to think about already. You're braver than me though not sure I'd be able to keep browsing through line up's etc if I wasn't going. Have you entered any comps?

Doug85 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just noticed the complete lack of Young fathers and I was hoping they would be on this poster. Hope they are at least on the big reveal somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lack of live acts I want to see this year. Hoping the Other & Pyramid lob up the odd surprise too. Sports Team are down for Williams Green - guess they could yet do both though.

They were on my list as I’ve not seen them since the last album was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a one off show though- their first since March so could mean they are doing some other festivals (probably just hoping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Has it been confirmed that Rex Osage County is headlining Park? Cos at first I thought TGTBTQ might be a line below cos it was too long a name for the top line, but then did a 180, now I’ve done another 180 because TGTBWTGDUXH really do seem too big to be on before yer man Rex.

Some groups have bigger egos etc. Maybe Damon wants to watch either Janelle or The Cure (he's another one who can't decide!) so wanted to be off in time to leg it over to his choice.

Damon is a massive whopper so that I don’t go with that theory. But like, this outfit (and Damon solo) has headlined Latitude just on the back of Blur’s name so surely they could close out the Park? Plus Albarn’s relationship with the fest etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon seems a mixed bag sometimes comes across as having a huge ego but other times can come across as quite humble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub ticks the box of not offending them, but cedes headline status to an actually popular whippersnapper. It's the old story of a supergroup being far, far less than the sum of its parts.

FloorFiller Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 The only reason I can think of is that nobody cares about TGtBatQ whereas Rex Orange County is a new exciting act, although that doesn’t usually factor in with other placings so odd if it does here. Does ROC have some new material on the way or just that two year old album? Even if Damon + co weren’t below him it seems a push too high for him.

Nah no drink involved. In and of itself it's a pretty boring story, but involves the Professor employing barefaced dishonesty for minor financial gain and just being pretty condescending in person to staff/other assorted low key Tory behaviours, as a pattern on multiple occasions across a few weeks.

The reference is to some months ago when @Phoenix Girl referred to an....urm....prolific ex-poster (who was later banned) as a "weapon", and then once everyone was falling about laughing at his expense, said that she had mistakenly thought the phrase meant "alcoholic liability" rather than "absolute tool" Jokes. I actually had no idea who this professor was until yesterday when everyone started saying they fancied her. But I do like a good "true face of X celebrity" story Edited May 23, 2019 by Sasperella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
