ErnestWorthing Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Especially with Dua Lipa headlining the other, manics on Friday would make most sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid afternoon Other would be an absolute waste of a band like the Manics, just end up being fodder. Going to be all over this, that's my first headliner confirmed. Also going to be my first Park headliner! I concur. Saw them at IOW a couple of years ago and while they were great, you could tell much of the audience was just waiting for Design for Life and then the Killers. I'd much rather see them with a smaller crowd of die-hards than lots of casuals. Personally would have liked them in the JP, as I think the tent would have captured the atmosphere of their early career club shows I missed, but I'll take the Park, it is my favourite stage at the festival.

priest17 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 That's equally an amazing slot and a crying shame. You forget there's other good stuff when you're frothing at the mouth between July and January for the best possible headliners. I have 2 of my perfect pyramid headliners, but at what cost?

rawrsomesauce Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Please Friday. I don't think my heart could take it if they clashed with Macca. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circus92 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Another big vote for Manics on the Friday night. That would be my headliners sorted- Manics // Dua Lipa // Taylor Swift Park // Other // Pyramid Lovely stuff - I would get to have a headliner on a different stage each night on my first Glastonbury. What could be better? 👌😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjonnyp Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Damn, that's a real shame. Not sure I would be able to pull myself away from Thom if it's on the Friday. While I'm here, Lipstick Traces is the best Manics album behind The Holy Bible. Fight me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbailey80 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 (were) Playing the Park, "Friday or Saturday".

maelzoid Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 One of the reasons they are so great. In terms of social conscience, they certainly talk the talk, and things like this prove they walk the walk too. I've said it before: they are to be cherished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Great touch by the Manics. When all this has died down I wouldn’t be surprised if there’ll be one or two stadium gigs for the NHS, with lots of acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people manage to hang on to their IDs, or there will be a lot of trouble with the managers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Tickets are on sale now, at £35 each for the Saturday. I got a couple. I think they could have charged more, as proceeds go to NHS charities, but I can make a separate donation. The Manics on home turf, doing a charity show with hopefully a "I'm glad that shit is behind us!" vibe - this is going to celebratory.
