Lol. I think Ezra is popular but to say he’s a bigger draw to 20-30’s than Billie, Sam, Olivia, Kendrick etc is mad.

I'm almost certain that post was talking about Kendrick, not George Ezra

aha that is definitely mad! I was talking about Kendrick. Not only is he the only person everyone in our group of 20 is going to see, but after speaking to other people I know, he's also the number 1 must-see of their group. I think a few people on here will be surprised how busy his set will be

With all the ridiculously wild suggestions being thrown around (Eminem, Rhianna, etc) got me thinking... when has someone 'big' ever actually gone out of their way to make the trip to the farm to guest on a song?

Obviously we've had friends of the festival (looking at you Chris!) and acts already playing, turn up for other sets (eg: The Boss with Gaslight Anthem) but from memory, i cant think of a big surprise act thats popped up as a guest.

And cue the wave of instances to prove me wrong...

Do half the acts in the Gorillaz set count?

also I think Harry Styles coming out as a guest with Billie is quite likely. They're friends, he's attended the festival before, he'll be headlining the festival next year, and he's in the country. If there was a place to bet for these things, I'd stick a tenner on it actually

And she usually bring out some guests. At Coachella she had Damon Albarn doing some Gorillaz stuff one weekend and Hayley Williams doing a Paramore song the other weekend. Harry Styles would make sense.

Wonder if she could rope Kate Bush in for running down the hill to celebrate it getting number 1

its getting a bit muted response on twitter from what I can see, its more than this forum bubble

Sorry if this has already been discussed, I’m a few pages behind: 

 

I think they shot themselves in the foot a bit having such massive TBAs recently. Everyone is expecting someone huge 

 

I’m sure my first year (08)I went to a TBA and it was Cerys matthews and I was thrilled 😆

Eh, it’s still a massive booking, will be absolutely rammed and people will love it. Sure it’s not the stadium sized headliner that The Killers have lead us all to believe we’ll be getting every year and I’m sure people will be vocal about their disappointment for the next few days that they were promised Arctic Monkeys but got Ezra instead, but the day of the show that tent will be popping and everybody going will leave very happy, and the rest of us will be very happy elsewhere.

Also I’m continuing to be on the ‘Harry comes out with Billie’ train - always made far more sense than him doing a solo show of his own and links with her Coachella guest appearances well. Them two doing a version of What Makes You Beautiful - you heard it here first.

My first year was 2008. The special guests on the park were Franz ferdinand and last shadow puppets with Jack white

Lol, colour me completely incorrect then. Tbf, it was my first time and I was so overwhelmed I probably missed all the big acts while lost in theatre and circus

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
