Not really headliner related but I'm really enjoying Justin Hawkins' YouTube channel, best music YouTuber around at the minute. I wonder what the chances of The Darkness appearing would be? Other Stage opener or maybe a mid slot on the Pyramid?

I doubt they'd be booked for other opener. quite before my time and i know they did big slots in the early 2000s at festivals but they dropped off a cliff is my understanding

Could do a Mcfly style Avalon set. Would be very popular I think

Convinced you’re living about 20 years in the past if you think the darkness would get a prominent slot at Glastonbury 2023. Guy is a nobody now.

The slots I mentioned aren't exactly prominent.

I've watched tonnes of music channels, Justin offers a lot of interesting and unique perspectives. My opinion though.

Other opener is a special slot - therefore prominent.

It's not really a "special slot", it just usually goes to older more established acts who would normally be playing elsewhere.

There are only about 27 pyramid slots a year and you want one to go to the bloody darkness? I beg you to branch out from what was big in 2005.

I merely suggested mid Pyramid as a possible slot.

Oh I'm not discrediting their size, I was just saying that size does not always equal a good show. 

You can't dispute that it was bloody popular though, the crowd were standing on and behind the footpaths at the back.

I was a few rows in front of the sound desk but glad ot hear it was popular. I mean its a fairly big band thats of a popular demographic of music for Glastonbury on very early on Friday with not much else of that size to go against it so it should really have a big crowd.

Yeah I think I was going through on the way somewhere and watched for a bit, but it was busier than most of the shows I saw there (except PSB). 

You're right about the vocals, they were a bit erm sub optimal.

Pretty standard for The Libertines  even on their best days!

      Interesting to read. It's mostly why we stopped going a few years back even though it's the nearest big festival to home. The post-exams timing and location makes it a rites of passage first festival for people in a big area. Understandably that leads to a bit of giddiness. Think lineup would need to be a lot more my cup of tea to be enticed back. Friends who are there are having a good time tho and no rain is a good thing for up there.

      I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.
