FakeEmpire Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I've always found The Paul Heaton Songbook doesn't get the respect it deserves overall. So many simple but great pop songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Perfect 10 is getting some unnecessary hate in my opinion, might not be his finest work but for a tongue in cheek sing a long tune it’s great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall there was an expectation they might get upset at this interrupting their show, but hats off to them they encouraged them on. That and the numerous times he's taken a principled stand or dipped into his pocket to support communities or his fans - he's a top bloke. Fat Boy is always hanging around the site and I know this gets mentioned a lot but is there always room for a Housemartins secret set? Perhaps an acoustic set on the Band Stand.

Jack.194 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Do we know when the payment window is yet? Surely not April considering that’s only a couple weeks away? Was it April or May last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloopFiller Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Idles such a big booking for the slot that they had to be called up a week prior to the lineup announcement to be offered it when plans A through F didn’t work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex DeLarge Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Waiting for the dance areas to knock it out the park (as ever). Don't be surprised to see pretty much all these names (some of them already are on the poster): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoOdyssey Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 (edited) I wonder why they've stuck a 3 in Rudimental's name? I might be wrong, but I don't think they've ever used that branding. Edited March 16 by WhoOdyssey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Devereux Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Were Idles rumoured for Woodsies? Would have been a better fit, they hardly packed the field 3rd down last time. Them against Fontaines makes no sense. Am I misremembering one year where someone was labelled the headliner for the Other but played 2nd from top and a dance act closed the stage? I know they do it at IOW but can't remember if that's been the case at Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
