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.

I've updated the Clashfinder with all that has been announced so far. Each "program" has a link to it & a description if you hover over it. https://clashfinder.com/s/g2020

Lovely bloke as well. My sister worked for Virgin in Australia and Bowie regularly flew into Sydney especially in the 2000s (I think he lived there for a bit) He always used to ask for my si

That's why you always ask nicely! :p I wrote this up more for people who aren't as much a Glastonbury buff as many are on here, but here's my recommendations from the Beeb anyway:   *Th

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.

      So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.

      I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
