stonedcircle Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 It's always puzzled me how bands like blink-182, Green Day, Fall Out Boy etc have never had a proper look-in at Glasto, despite their massive mainstream appeal. Especially now as almost every other genre is represented, from the more obscure (metal as extreme as Gojira / Napalm Death) to the completely 'mainstream' (Sheeran/Cyrus etc). Where's pop punk been this entire time? While some have made the occasional appearance (Panic at the Disco), it's certainly never been a regular feature on the lineup. It feels like a bit of a shame, as in their hey-day some of the biggest pop punk acts would have been great on the farm and offered even more variety! ?

fatyeti24 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 It was a long time ago now, but nobody who was there would ever forget Offspring in 1995. Wiser men than I have called it the gig of that festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neondrift Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Not sure if you could call them pop-punk but they seem to fit in with that scene, I could definitely see Twenty One Pilots taking a slot somewhere next year after their R&L set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I can see why the yankee likes of Green Day, Blink 182 etc don't play but I'm more curious about the why UK pop punk bands aren't invited like Neck Deep or You Me At Six.

Guitarist of Neck Deep was outed as a nonce I believe, so there’s one reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, in an ideal world they should be long enough to be able to be used as a method of tracing your way back to camp at the end of the night.

I'm 27 and I still listen to a lot of bands I used to listen to at 13. So to answer your question, yes Pop punk rules. Get Paramore, Panic!, Jimmy Eat World, Good Charlotte, All Time low on the bill!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was accused of it, quit the band to save their reputation and turned out the accusations were false. So not quite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
