I’m a little behind but I find it really random that the AM drummer has a Royal Blood T Shirt on in 2013, hadn’t even realised they were about then!

IIRC him wearing their merch was a pretty big factor in them gaining the momentum they did right at the beginning.

Makes sense.  Just read up on it and they supported them at Finsbury Park too.  Everyday is a school day

Yeah pretty sure they supported them on the summer their album came out and were all regularly talking about them between their first EP (which I have signed...somewhere) and their album release.

They're a great live band with some amazing staging and great sing alongs. I think my main issue is just their recent out put of music (we're talking 10 years worth now) There's probably 2 maybe 3 songs from it that I actually want to hear them play. I got to see them on the Viva La Vida tour and it was great fun, but I've always chosen to see anyone else. 

Yep don’t knock them until you tried them, we went because a few in our group wanted to and loved them they are great live

Did someone tell Bruce to get rid of the 'No Surrender' sign he placed at the front of the monitor?

 

Edit....song title or not I wonder if he was advised of any potential sensitivities?

Man The xx set before Radiohead was so good. The happiest sad three or so hours of my life.

Which year was it? Seeing them on the Pyramid as the sun came down in 2017 (?) was absolutely spellbinding.

2016 was the best gig I've ever been to. Though they are great beyond just Glastonbury, always an uplifting show with a great performance, show and euphoric singalong. Every time. 

Definitely wasn't a fan. Don't think I was intending to go. Then a kind stranger gave me a spare wristband and I thought I'd check it out.

Easily one of my best gigs ever. The wristbands made The Pyramid look better than it's ever been. And when they bought out Barry Gibb I was just gobsmacked and floored (I've owned the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack forever (nearly forty years by that point). It's still a dance/disco classic).

Springsteen really was 'peak flag' wasn't it...

I've just been overcome with an irrational anger at the sight of the I Heart Sausages flag that plagued years on end. As I understand it it came from a stall, they got warned not to take it to the stage areas, they did it again and they had their stall revoked from then on. Karma.

    • 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. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
