I mean it would be fun. Weird evening though.

I hope Fatboy Slim subbing doesn’t become the new Kaiser Chiefs subbing the Foos. Can we stamp it out before it becomes that 🤣

He wouldn’t be my choice either, but..... it isn’t outrageous that someone with big name recognition and a long history with the festival ends up taking a large slot a “performer challenged” version of that festival.

Fatboy Slim subbing would be hella disappointing because it really would feel like a slot they could have given to someone else.

Someone you like?

 It’ll be 35 years since Fatboy first performed at Glastonbury, he’s a Glasto legend and still popular. I wouldn’t begrudge him a prominent slot at all, indeed could imagine the crowd would be rammed for him.

In all honesty this would be absolutely quality. Pure pop bangers

If theyre going to have something like that, then its booking Harry Styles and he has a mini reunion during his set. If not you book the current boy band kings BTS. But lets have a look at the backlash against KPop for Glasto.

Yes but on the one hand you have an iconic British artist who is ever present and a fairly integral part of every line up at the festival, and on the other you just have some big pop acts. 

I understand your point but Fatboy Slim's relationship to the festival is integral. I wouldn't be at a Fatboy Slim set, whether it be on Other or the Pyramid but you're lying to yourself if you don't think that he'd go down a storm in a slot such as those. Just look at the Craig David Pyramid crowd a few years ago.

Wasn't Supre referring to the One Direction mention?

How is sign of the times not one of the best pop songs of new times though?

Also Harry looks great up on stage.

I wouldn’t mind him playing Glasto at all

Who else do you want, Take That and the Spice Girls? 🤦‍♂️

It’s an alright little tune but that’s about as far as I’ll go. If it was released by someone not fresh out of a fairly one dimensional boy band I think it would have been quite quickly brushed aside.

Harry Styles, Spice Girls, Little Mix are three bookings I hope the festival makes. They will be very popular with attendees :) 

I kinda get Harry Styles, but Spice Girls are too big for the 'just-having-a laugh-look-at-how-old-they-are-now-hahah' kind of booking. Don't know what Little Mix is, but then again: I'm 30.

Watermelon Sugar is the much superior bop

    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
    • From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”
    • I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
