I don’t often check in here but is there anything to this Paramore speculation? 

No. They’ve not been announced for any June EU festivals (or any EU festivals for that matter). I think it’s just some wishful thinking until they pop up somewhere.

If it continues to be radio silence I don’t think it’s likely at all.

I think they mentioned uk festival(s) in an interview

Elton John in his prime vs Prodigy would be a tough choice but his voice is shot and his lazy pub singing style now means I’d be at Prodigy although they may give a Elton a longer set perhaps so could catch first 30 mins

That pyramid is phenomenal but that's a hell of a 5-way clash for me afterwards! 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Yeah, I'm gonna ask everyone to stop manifesting The Prodigy up against Reg. I already had to make a similar heart breaking call in 09 and I'm keen to avoid it again

Why are people now suggesting Harry Styles, he of multiple stadium sell outs, would ever sub?

Why are people suggesting Styles at all, it's not a school disco.

Do you ever get bored of complaining? It really kills the buzz.

Fair play, as this is completely true, although unfortunately I don't look like that.

Voice wasn't shot at Anfield and even if it was, matters not. Matters less than Keith's absence, for sure.

I'd argue that both matter, but will concede that Keith's absence is more of a blow.

Can't get my head round why people think a shot voice doesn't negatively impact on a gig though.

Same way The Stones was ruined or Macca was ruined…

Basically it’ll be absolutely amazing with 100k people signing along

Didn't bother with Macca, but The Stones were dreadful (like a poor tribute act), left after about 15/20 minutes.

Because when you're in a field with 100k people going mad to some of the greatest and most popular music ever made the odd bum note doesn't really matter.

If you're expecting a septuagenarian to sound like they did in the 1970's then you may have unrealistic expectations.

I don't but then I don't need any expectations as I won't be going.

One thing I have noticed though is that with the odd exception (Lee Scratch Perry) all the old Reggae singers I've seen have been fine.
