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.

They were never more than a poor attempt at being Queen anyway.

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!

      Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

      By Gnomicide · Posted

      Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
