But too speculative. Let's await an official announcement if so. Man could have had food poisoning for all we know.

yeah, I shouldve done a poll asking for alternative recommendations incase they cancel

Is he? He's been clean for a while now and has been touring quite extensively

I've never seen a picture of him, weather clean or on the lash, where he looks healthy.

 

Yep... clean, married, bit podgy and owns or co-owns several successful businesses in my area.

If its covid he should be back by Friday! Really hoping we won't see more of this with bands picking it up in the days before the festival.  I see the Rolling Stones have cancelled a few gigs with Mick testing positive its coming back really at the wrong time all we need is one more week!!!

In the nicest possible way I hope that it is a genuine illness and not that he has relapsed. Seen the libs, Babyshambles and Peter solo loads over the years and when they played last year he seemed the healthiest and most at ease that I've ever seen him (whereas Carl wasn't).

I think it must be hard whilst in England and touring for him to maintain his version of sobriety (which includes alcohol and "lighter" drugs).

I would rather the libs didn't tour any more so he could avoid situations where there is the temptation to use.

Anyway, may be nothing, but you can never tell.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By joozy · Posted

      After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.

      You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...

      I left and went home, saw the Massive Attack update when I got in the door. Typical 💀
