I keep seeing him mentioned but think he was before my time on here. He's like Keyser Soze. One day and pfffff...he's gone. He still lurks I believe but hasn't posted anything for some time, just left us hanging at 19,999 posts. Known for taking very strong views over social commentary, and liberal use of c-bombs to describe all and sundry. The bingo card was created to include his most popular choices - Bruce Dickinson, Tories, people in posh camping.

The Red Telephone Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I was searching topics the other day regarding TIpis (staying in one for the first time this year) and I found a quote (think the thread was from 2011) from Russy that said “I would love to stay in one one year”. Gobsmacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him still pulling a decent crowd to the Other earlier on in the day and somewhere smaller later on. His secret Strummerville set in 2010 is still one of my all time festival highlights.

I think a 3rd/4th from top on the Other stage would be a really good spot for him. I can feel the clashes already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy101 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Yeah it was baking hot too but a good way to get the day going. I get the impression he's not too diva about where he plays on the bill, and he's certainly plateaued (of not peaked). Perhaps selfishly I'd like to see him do a similar slot again.

Gnomicide Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Avalon headline set last year was an incredible atmosphere, safe to say a festival set list so not necessarily what I'd have chosen but you can't k knock him for that. I'd like a late afternoon set on The Other or Pyramid this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotchilidog Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Only saw/heard Frank three times last year, it was not enough, sadly missed the Greenpeace gig. Strummerville was great, Avalon was epic and the BBC Introducing gig was fun and actually seemed to be relatively secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazwwe Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 The next date that we've had any announcement is the 23rd of February. Which was Bruce in 2009 and U2 in 2011. We then have Foo Fighters from 2017 on the 24th. https://theglastonburythingy.weebly.com/when-does.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In as much as you "should" do anything at a festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
