Diabolical live.

Disagree, although it was a long time ago I saw them. Stick them on Other, not JP. They'd have the draw. Similar to Libertines slot this year.

I'd argue, even with Matt Skiba in for Tom DeLonge, they'd be too big for the John Peel tent.

They would be a fun booking if you could get the slot right, mind - messy, fast, loose, likely to bring along some singalongs - and obviously when all band members concerned are back to good health.

I haven't seen them live, but I've watched a few of their performances on YouTube, they do kind of murder small things and a few other songs... The vocals just sound way way off. But on the other hand damn it sounds incredible live... 

I put it down to some songs just being a bit easier for him live than others... 🤷‍♂️

One of my favourite bands of all time, and definitely woeful live unless you’re in amongst it and can’t really tell!

I don’t really think they’re a band worthy of the slot they’d likely command, especially with Skiba. When you bring in Mark’s recent battle with cancer and Travis’ new involvements/reluctance to fly, it seems pretty unlikely.

I can’t even see them headlining R&L again (although maybe with the 6 headliner thing) unless Tom came back, and I also would be surprised to see them take a lower spot.

Overall I think it’s pretty unlikely they’d make all the effort for a smaller slot, and they’re no longer relevant enough for a bigger one.

No chance in hell they play John Peel. Other headliner for sure cause they would headline Reading/Leeds. Even 3rd down on Pyramid at worst if it includes DeLonge. Green Day would headline by all accounts and Blink wouldnt be that far below them

Thought they were quality live when I saw them (with Skiba) but then they're one of those bands you just scream out every word and don't really notice how they actually sound.

Could see them maybe do that Miley/Katy Perry Sunday slot where they throw in a random big name act.

Seen them at 3 Reading's over the years and had a blast every time. Definitely helps to be half cut in a crowd singing along rather than watching at home.

I think they're at least still at that APE Headliner, Sub/ Other headliner level. But maybe if they played they'd take a smaller slot for demographic reasons.

Why is Travis a c**t? What did I miss? 

I struggle to keep up with all the hatred on here. 

Going out with a Kardashian so there’s gotta be some element of c**tiness there…

But otherwise I’m not sure. He seems fine, if a little annoying in being a key factor in this new wave of terrible pop punk coming out.

They're the same kind of booking for me as RHCP would be (albeit RHCP would be headline or nothing probably), ie I don't really listen to them very often, but my teenage self would be hyperventilating. I'd probably go tbh.

They’ve started mega sliding down lineups though. They wouldn’t headline R&L now I reckon. More likely to never return.

I'm sure if they are your sort of thing they would be good fun. Glasto seemed to sidestep all those bands at the time on the pyramid. Might have a place on the other stage as a bit of a wildcard booking, doesn't seem likely... But they don't look like they will be doing anything anytime soon anyway.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
