You’d rather an empty stage? 🤔

We need a Swingometer with @eFestivals as the compere.

As a matter of interest, IF this years festival was cancelled, how would that affect you and other regulars financially? Would it be a big problem? How does the regular fallow year affect you and others? I suppose you have more time to prepare for those and can make other arrangements. (If you would rather not say that's fine - just curious).

Just do open mic, or karaoke

Over Coldplay? 100%.

I'd be at another stage anyway obviously, I just fucking hate them.

No but you might have given me an idea on how to show the state of the ground. Cos we will all be concentrating on the weather soon enough when we are nearer to the gates opening.

We would end up with Killers, Muse, Kate Bush, Biffy, Noel/Liam and Coldplay threads, do you really want to encourage that? And maybe even, god forbid, a Ball and Boe thread! 

Don't downvote me for this but I'd bloody love it we ended up with The Killers again ☺️

Any headliner who stepped in during such circumstances would have so much goodwill felt towards them, they could hardly fail. 

I’m always a little baffled at the sheer vitriol towards Coldplay here. Ok, they’re not the most innovative group. Ok, CM is a bit pious and omnipresent, but they put out solid stuff and are responsible for several classics. 

Sometimes I feel like I’d rather be in the midst enjoying their set than surrounded by people who can’t stop telling everyone how awful they are (not directed at you, ZMG - I’m thinking of a family member of mine who does that).

What could happen if there's a second wave.

I think we are in the 2nd wave already.

So would I ! Bloody hell this thread is turning into a confessional !

Anyway , down votes , in my humble opinion, should only be used for offensive or crass comments not for musical tastes or opinions. 😁.

What do we do if the vote ends up 52% says cancelled, 48% says it’s on?

I agree, ages back I was given a downvote for saying I hope The Killers would headline one year.

Do what the SNP are trying to do up here,  ignore the result of the independence referendum and ask for another vote!

I've seen Coldplay headline twice and to be fair they were decent both times, really enjoyed them, having said that I could have seen them the other 2 times as well but chose not to, so maybe that say's something.

I would probably watch Coldplay over Kendrick Lamar.

Am I an awful person ? Yes probably

Seeing Coldplay perform Fix You at the Pyramid is one of my all time highlights in life.

[MEGABOWL]

At this stage, if it’s on, I don’t even really care how playing. Standing in that field watching Coldplay/Killers/Muse/whoever else it’s cool to hate sounds like heaven to me.
