I said it was funny. 

Just saying this forum is full of music snobs which it clearly is.

Well it's a music forum. Get all sorts I suppose.

Was quite funny tbf, but most of the people on here are music snobs who w*nk over ranking Radiohead albums and are very out of touch.

What are the best Radiohead albums to w*nk over? In order.

Blossoms are great, deserve way more recognition than they have.

Wrong. I only bought a ticket to save some poor bastard from making a bad decision to go see them

My love for Radiohead is well documented.

1. Ok computer porn 

2. Kid Anal

3. Pablo naked honeys

Can't be bothered to think of any more. I'll get my coat.

I'm not being snobby. The difference is when it comes to 'indie landfill' bands on here, they and their fans are derided in a snobbish manner whereas bands like Radiohead are adored and obsessed over. Even though by all accounts when they last headlined it looked a total snooze fest.

My reply was very tongue in cheek. I hear you. I walked off from the Radiohead set and I do like them.

I understand the fandom of Radiohead though. And as for list, who doesn't like a good list

Bordering on obsessive. Now, yer @stuartbert two hats, he can't stand the pretentious buggers.

Out of touch with what, my tasty little tin-based pie? The music you like? Anyway,

9. Pablo Honey...

...and I'm done.

Could have had:

4. In Rainbows Kiss

But that would have been entirely inappropriate.

Nah. The UK fests board alone has people going wild about The Libertines etc headlining regional festivals. Plenty of people were excited about the Blossoms announcement yesterday and I only saw one mildly shitty post. This is one of the least snobby and most varied-taste music forums on the internet, for better or worse.

The roadmap doesn't promise that at all, it clearly says that's the earliest possible date.

The dutch have done the festivals and Raves to see what happens with Covid in March. I can't seem to see the output from that anywhere. Mind you only did a quick search

[Old_Johno]

Is there any decent reason for festivals not to be allowed to happen? Or am i oversimplifying because I want them to happen. 

Surely with pre event testing, vaccines, summer, being outdoors, sanitiser everywhere it’s probably safer than a trip to the beach?

last summer cases were down to a handful per 100k (pre vaccination) so even with people faking tests the risk of anyone sneaking any covid in is ridiculously low to start with, and I doubt there many unvaccinated pensioners queuing up to go to Boomtown for some ket and bass. 
 

if it’s all based on some random varient showing up you could cancel off any overseas tickets for more defence in layers?

I'm expecting festivals from August onwards to go ahead with some kind of weird caveat, like outdoor stages only, no big tops, etc.

And only people from your household to sleep in your tent...

No issues with that 🙂 ... it’s almost guaranteed nobody wants to share with me 😀

If you just turned the flashing lights off on that fecking hat then maybe they would?!

[Zoo Music Girl]

You can stay overnight in someone else's house from May 17th can't you? So surely tent sharing would be fine. Wouldn't recommend doing it with anyone except your partner though. Remember sharing a very small 2-man with a friend at my first Reading...

[Zoo Music Girl]

And by partner I don't necessarily mean established, just someone you're willing to get up close and personal with!
