Really enjoying Miley,  don't know her stuff, never bothered as not really my thing, but shes great. 

My only criticism of Miley is that there are too many covers. She has plenty of her own songs so it does come across weird.

She put on a great show but I don’t think it’s AS good as some people say on this forum. I think the set list falls a bit flat in points.

Other than The Climb, what big songs of her own didn’t she play? 

Much better than Smelly Eilish over on the Other stage either way.

There is one CURE for that on a Sunday ... 

Due to the lifting of some lockdown restrictions we have been dumped with a one year old and a three year old so any alcohol will have to wait.!  Meanwhile Kylie has been replaced on my virtual pyramid stage by peppa fucking pig.

I like this size of tent. I've seen some great shows in something similar at Leeds Festival in the past. Bit more intimate than the current JP tent, but big enough to feel like an occasion.

Some massive bands you look at old footage and think it would have been great to catch them at that point or its a shame they've ended up playing arenas, The Killers on the other hand have always been an arena band in waiting. Their headline set is better than this.

Watched Nick Cave again from 2013 this afternoon, what a wondrous intense gig that was. That was a great year for great sets for me, Portishead, the Stones and Cave. Probably the year I replay most sets from on YouTube 

Portishead were immense, top three for me since 2009

Mmmm interesting, this is only my point of view, but I always think the Killers are one of those bands who peaked with their first album which was superb and struggled to keep it up for future albums, although maintained a consistently high level of commerical success. I feel the same about Kasabin, Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire. Just my opinion though, I suspect it's mainly because I remember those first albums too fondly, and have been too lazy to spend enough time looking at their latest material.

its also easier to remember things being better  when we have youth and energy on our side :)

    • 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...
