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

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
