I don't think that was Matt's point. He's saying that Elbow as a sub is a suggestion from people who haven't kept up with contemporary music and expect the festival to book the same stuff as a decade ago. When really there are so many new, exciting and contemporary acts that could fill the slot.

I get what you’re saying, but this is a Festival that very often books the same stuff as a decade ago, and acts that go much further back than that. I don’t think Elbow would be their first choice as sub in 2020 but if other options don’t come off they might get it. They have a history with the festival, they’ll break up the crowd before Swift and let’s face it, they’ll do it for a Crate of IPA. Given the overload of Arena/Stadium acts elsewhere and that one of the biggest Contemporary Acts in the world is on straight after, it might just make sense.

What do you all like about Matt42?

I like his enthusiasm and love that he's not afraid to change his mind!

Given up on them being opposite Macca, at last? 

Nope I’m now thinking they’ll sub Macca then do High Violet in full opposite him. 

And then a set of Neutral Milk Hotel covers on the Hell Stage at 3am.

@Matt42's enthusiasm is a thing to behold. I can't fault that on any level.

I've certainly had a difference of opinion with him, my personal gripe being the discussion of things in absolute terms (also, sort your gold membership out you tight bastard :lol:). But I'd certainly stand the lad a cider, as I would most people on here. And I'd like to think I've managed to get this far without mortally offending too many people.

There was always a rule of thumb that new posters would be given a reasonable amount of leeway before getting treated with the same level of contempt as the regulars do to each other, although sadly that does seem to have gone by the wayside a wee bit.

If I’ve crossed the line with Matt then I apologise here and now.

However some of his previous comments, especially around younger people versus older, have needed to be challenged.

You've clearly got a chip on your shoulder about that, but you should really move on, because the conversation has.

Elbow, Noel Gallagher and The National forming an impenetrable Grey Barrier between the party at the headliners and the rest of the day's frivolities. The Great Wall of Dadrock.

Before the kids all start getting down to that whipper snapper P-Mac

Anyone fancy chatting about potential subs again? It's like a kebab house at 3am in here, half want to profess their love, the other want to call everyone out. Just think, in a matter of months we'll all be in the farm in glorious sunshine, cider in hand about to watch something incredible on stage, or coldplay

    • I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.
    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
