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.

Constantly accusing us of being xenophobic when Bad shitting Bunny hasn’t even tried to break into the UK market is fucking annoying. But you already know that!

What's the current thinking on the RHCP stuff?

Likely to be something in it or just some weird doodling by Flea?

Unlikely, have a date in (I think) Denmark on the Saturday and Poland a few days before. Not impossible but can't see it. Especially with GnR as good as confirmed, people already complaining about a not diverse line-up without it being two rock acts.

I wasn't at Billie but I watched her Glastonbury and Coachella sets both on TV and they pretty much looked identical, and it was hard to get the feeling that the Glastonbury set was special.

Kendrick got it. He knew this was one of the biggest moments of his career. Every second was spent well, every single move was so well thought out. Unbelievable piece of drama

Kendrick did the exact same set three days beforehand in Italy IIRC

Honestly it was back to back hits and he went all in. 

I wish people didn’t decorate up their opinions and talk about things they know little about. I wouldn’t go along to a headline set of an act I know little about and say they played no hits (just because I didn’t know the songs).

Billie also played a hits filled set. It was both fan friendly and friendly for casuals.

It was literally the perfect set list. Fuck the moaners.

If nobody could headline until their fifth album then we’d be stuck with the same old dreary Britpop acts on a constant rotation and nobody new would ever get the chance. 

Don’t you get it? That’s exactly what these festival evangelists want. It’s a very elaborate way of saying “I’m challenged by new music and new headliners and I am doubtful of any acts that I’m unfamiliar with”. The mask slips.

Glasto wouldn’t be the festival it is without jumping on emerging talent.

Not particularly relevant to the point I made about it just being her tour show.

Aren’t all festival headline sets a modification of their tour show? It’s a weird thing to criticise billie for when most acts do it.

Also.. weird argument tbh. Why jumble up their setlist / massively change their production for the sake of it.

Tour production + a more hits friendly setlist is fine. Most acts do this.

That wasn't Flea's drawing, he liked a drawing by the guy who does Radiohead's artwork

I don't think there is anything to it

He also does the Glastonbury t-shirts (every year since 2011) and I suspect the sketch relates to this year's design.

I wonder if there's a direct correlation between COVID vaccination percentages, appetite for travel from bands and artists, and the resulting impact on festivals like Glasto? Had some thought that '23 and '24 are the years where some of the real big bands and artists re-appear...

2022 lineup didn't really skimp

Don’t really agree with this at all. Kendrick’s set was back to back hits. 

It irks me when people don’t listen to an artists catalogue and then claim they have no hits. Do they have no hits or have you just not really listened to their material? If you think Kendrick or Billie didn’t play the hits it says a lot.

Not every act needs to be your Killers or Foos with the woaaahs every five fucking minutes to headline the pyramid. 

Can’t fucking believe the crap people are saying about Kenny. Madness😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Festival billie and touring billie is always the same, it's never changed up 

I totally agree with the kendrick remarks!

    • 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.
