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

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
