You're seriously responding to someone talking about a massive band headlining a festival, when sources have suggested it's happening, with this vile nonsense? It's not stinking up the forum, it's what the forum has always been for. Your strange dislike of one particular band is making you extremely irrational and even nasty on this. 

If there's anyone out there who Neil trusts, please step in. 

you trust me enough to have used my website for many years.

Do they? I love my music but wouldn't say my fingers on the pulse so apply pinch of salt to the below... But 2019 had the killers and the cure. I don't think they're that big a deal but am more than happy to be wrong 😊

I agree with you to an extent! The Cure are cultural touchstones though, even though they haven't had a hit in ages.  And even though I don't really care for the Killers, more people than I would expect show up to their gigs. Baffles me to a degree, but your average person just adores them

I don't know why I'm so invested in the headliner announcements when I hate big crowds so if anything bands I don't like would be preferable so I can more easily justify seeing smaller headliners.

I guess it's just because they're almost definitely going to be the only bands we get confirmed until next March, right?

All the stories are based on the same source I.e. The Sun.

Yeah, this is all just outlets reporting on outlets. I’m sure Glasto would love to book Rihanna, but I doubt anyone reporting this has any credible info.

I notice this is your first Glasto too, you'll have the best time ever but just mentally prepare yourself that this is very hard to avoid even away from Pyramid! Early doors West Holts for a bit of Jazz and cider in the sun is your best bet for some relative peace 🙂

Have you seen the price of the tickets for the DM tour next year?  Front standing at Twickenham would cost more than Glastonbury!

Come to Dublin! €79 (plus fees)…tickets still available and no golden circle, just wander up front if you want!

Well this thread is as fun as the last one at least.

Calling it at Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Rihanna.

GNR are not playing Glastonbury based on nothing more than a gut feeling. They feel like a real ill fit, offer nothing at all.

 

I feel the festival would see Artic Monkeys and Blur as too similar to book both on one line up

Yeah I mean I was at Primavera Sound this year and that was 95,000 capacity with significantly fewer stages. I was fine there other than at their main stages during the evening so I'm hoping i can handle most of it. Luckily I like a lot of smaller bands and newer music so I'm hoping there's plenty on the smaller stages to keep me happy and away from the big surges.

Do agree, though I'm wondering if they fell back on them as friends of the festival and past headliners though if rumours of other acts pulling out are true

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
