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.

    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
    • Didn't they widen the entrance last year to enable them to increase the number of pitches or have I imagined this? Perhaps they might return under a different form of glamping? 
    • It should forever be the Tipi.   Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.
    • It really surprised me that Rock AM Ring made Download feel like an extremely well organised festival with good communication in comparison. If we were to ever try either of them again we would go for IM Park and stop in Nuremberg.     Agree that the long thin mainstage isn't great, but where the mainstage is makes it really hard to navigate when it is busy because of that choke point created by the food vendors, bar/lounges with a view of main and where the crowd is coming form second stage. The concrete is hard on the joints. The front standing is a pisstake and the communication from the fest about what is happening on site other than which campsites are filling up leaves a lot to be desired. Car parks being a free for all doesn't help either.   I think it really suffers being so far from anything other than small towns/villages that lack proper public transport and Koblenz being the closest town which you can can use to get public transport to the fest being 60km away.
    • Yeah its absolutely on me that isn't think Shinia Twain was an awful choice- i get that.  Im still of the paul simon, ELO kind of thoughts but I realise things change. Im still intrigued what constitutes legend though. Robert plant played and he wasn't a legend slot- to me that would have fitted. Is it a ' comedy ' ' good time ' slot now? Comedy isn't the right word - guilty pleasure or something like that?
