Macca was a great heritage act for the 50th anniversary, but post that I’m struggling to get excited for it.

If you can’t get excited for a living fucking Beatle and writer of some of the most beloved songs in human history then I’m not sure you can be helped...

...especially when you endlessly prattle on about Arianna fucking Grande.

As time is going on I’m starting to feel like the ship has sailed for him. It was a cool ‘get’ for the 50th anniversary but that never happened.

I agree. It’ll be the most anticipated Glastonbury in the festival’s history; who needs some old guy singing songs no-one cares about when we’ve got Dua Lipa or Ariana.

Clarity for Supernintendo Chalmers. Yes it was tongue in cheek!

I said I’d probably see Macca if I was there. It’s not about whether I think he’s a good booking or not - of course he is. He’s an incredible booking. 

Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish etc are more exciting to me as bookings, but I’m not saying they are better bookings.

I got excited for him being a booking for the 50th, but two years later and plenty more acts coming into the fold / dying to tour again I can’t help but feel whether there are more interesting options. The 2 years wait has definitely made my hype wobble. Taylor has somewhat got bigger since she was first announced and Kendrick remains a mystery booking so it’s exciting.

I’l say it again. I will probably end up seeing him. But to me he’s an anniversary headliner on a now non-anniversary year.

This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen on this forum.

Couldn’t quite figure out the best way to reply to Matt’s post, but think you’ve pretty much summed it up.

‘Sorry Paul, maybe for the 60th when you matter again yeah?’

do it Emily. We give you the full thumbs up.

Never gonna happen. Although I’m willing to be proven wrong, her replacing Taylor seems like the all too obvious scenario here.

I think it's Billie, Macca and Taylor currently. I think if she was Sunday then the Belgium date would be Tuesday. With Dua Lipa and Noel Gallagher and two subs.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.
