Glasto generally find the best for what’s available..

Don’t like it? suggest a better headliner then…
 

I’m not a massive fan of GnR but calling songs as strong/ huge as November Rain, Don’t Cry and Sweet child of mine ’shit’ is not the strongest argument.

Can they actually suggest an act glasto could have got but somehow let slip through their fingers?

obviously the Eavis want the biggest acts to headline the Pyramid, that’s what they try to do every year. And an act headlining Hyde Park is probably not a bad example of how popular they are.  

Think you can do better as a booking agent for Glasto? then suggest a massive act that’s touring the UK at the same time, has space in their schedule,  hasn’t headlined in last few years and is willing to play for cheap…

Go…

Somebody that sold more albums than taylor swift last year. But apparently thats not good enough cause he sings in spanish. Also will be on your tele in april if you watch wrestling. He'll be at wrestlemania.

I hate to break it to you, but nobody in this country cares about wrestling either.

Listen I've not been shy about saying I'm not a fan, but if you wish to present a stout defence there are several songs you could choose before the self indulgent bumwash of November Rain.

Fair enough! I agree, Indeed there are others I prefer.

I cannot wait, saw GnR at the Olympic Stadium and Download and both times they were great!! Elton should be good fun, everyone knows an Elton John song!! Taking my 5yr old daughter and misses, been trying for tickets since 2009. Anyone moaning, just think back to the covid summer lockdowns and appreciate where we’ll be & how lucky we are to be going! Bring on the sunshine!!

...it doesn't scream all-timer on paper, but there are clearly enough songs there that will command a huge singalong.

Do they really play that awful Live And Let Die cover live?

Not really bothered about GnR but wouldn’t mind seeing Paradise City live. May do like I did for The Cure. Watched the amazing Janelle Monae set then whilst heading to our meet up point at Bread and Roses realised I could catch the end of The Cure set which still had 3 songs left. Long-set fatigue must have set in and it was very easy to get really close for the last songs.

remember that. something about a ska band?

(Late replying. Again)

Nah it was something along the lines of Brandon Flowers saying that The Bravery only got signed because The Killers were signed and Hot Fuss songs were getting radio play (this in 2005, so when TK were still on LP #1) and when The Bravery retorted he called them a fake band. Though a year later he apologised.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
