kalifire Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Lack of Taylor still stings, to be honest. But Billie will free me up to be elsewhere (Simz!). I’m torn on Macca. There will be Glastonbury Moments™ aplenty but I don’t spend much of my time listening to him and I don’t have any big past musical association with him or his band (I forget their name). I’ll happily see him pending any clashes. Kendrick is a must-see for me. I’ll be there 100%, loving every moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 New material isnt a selling point for heritage acts. The Stones played their current single at G13 but I'd much rather that they'd squeezed in something like Monkey Man instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 5 hours ago, aj6658 said: Yeah agreed - think its a V weak headliners and I think that it being the grand return and still technically the anniversary the whole line up is missing something. It's not a grand return. It's like a Parklife or Wireless lineup with an edge of rock. Might be the first time in a long time that I've seriously questioned that should it be a muddy year, is it all worth it. 2 hours ago, kalifire said: Lack of Taylor still stings, to be honest.

I just don't think there is anything under the headliners mind blowing that you can't see elsewhere. I mean MTS is playing prominent slots at 3 others festivals. For me there is so many options that made the original lineup better. Too much of we need to include and certain image here and politics. Macca obviously I'd see. It's not the fact they aren't big sellers but unless you're the age of a Reading attendee you aren't overwhelmed with the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they pop him up there in May there is nothing anyone can do about it. And would you want to add that fanbase to the resale pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Dua is clearly keeping her powder dry for 2023. Can't think of a safer shoo in for lock of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve folded on Dua. I’ve not folded on Harry / Flo. Flo getting her own announcement in respect of her being a previous headliner would make sense to me.

They don't announce secret sets which save face for acts no longer really in the headliner conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanh Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but made a start on a 2022 playlist, obviously gonna be adding a lot more to it - any suggestions for songs to add?

Its slightly lacking in that department. The Craig Davids, Stereophonics, Travis, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol kind of stuff isnt there and to some degree normally has a presence. So its kinda weird they didnt put it on this poster unless they didnt want to step on the toes of some of the other fests who have those booked and want to have them sell some more tickets before adding them on. I mean what are Editors, La Roux, Manics, Dizzee Rascal doing right now anyway. Edited March 5, 2022 by Suprefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foo's and The Cure only ones I've seen in full since 2014 when I started going again. You not liking them doesn’t make them weak, just means you don’t like them. They are anything but weak, one of the biggest up and coming pop stars, a, if not the, most legendary singer/songwriters of all time, and one of the biggest hip hop acts on the planet by no measure can be considered weak. I will only see one of them but by no means would I consider any of them weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely means much anyway. 2015's offering of the Foos, Kanye and The Who was, on paper, very strong — look how that panned out. One leg break, one topsy-turvy set that fell short, and one pointless booking that stank up the place. 2019 was, on paper, fairly weak — and it was possibly the most unanimous triple-slam dunk the fest pulled off since 2009. (Even then, Bruce had grumbles for being indulgent) Got a 20-year-old, a Beatle and a Pulitzer winner: three generational icons from three very different lanes of music. It's class. Was funny how riled up Kanye got people though. Was in The Back of Beyond after his set and we got chatting to this dad and son who were there together. Person I was with asked dad if he saw Kanye. He starts frothing at the mouth going “Apparently he said he’s the greatest rock star on the planet! How can he say that?! The fucking Who are playing tomorrow!!” Was mental. We just looked at each other and walked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
