Given people get their tickets before knowing the lineup bar a few in the resale you could probably say this about every act on a one of the larger stages

Double post. Fair enough!

You can elevate a boring, run of the mill digestive by placing a little slab of cheddar atop. Absolutely magnificent. I dont think you can elevate Coldplay by the same method, but its worth a bash

think it stems from it was meant to be Taylor Swift and are taking their anger out on the band that has replaced her..as if they changed her mind for her 

Melissa Reese the guns n roses keyboard player was touted years ago as the next Taylor Swift, and has worked with her in the past. 
not a lotta folk know that. 😉

We did it on the Discord. Custard Creams won.

Democracy does not work.

It's nice to know that its just as much of a bin fire over there.

I hope firmly that if both are atop the bill, they knock it out of the park, play cracking shows and all the punters there to watch have a lovely time

100%.   GnR have the potential to be amazing and have a host of songs that are imprinted into the brains of a lot of casual rock fans of a certain age.  Same goes for AM as they were inescapable if you came of age in the 00s.

Their fans will have a great time and I hope the casuals do too. I'll most likely be elsewhere but that's the beauty of Glastonbury, isn't it?  There's literally something for everyone and if you don't like what you're watching, a ten minute walk will take you to musical heaven

Chocolate caramel digestives are A Tier.

In that, they’ll do if nothing better is available.

Pretty much. Inoffensive, pop up everywhere and unlikely to elicit strong feelings either way. If one was offered you'd take it, but it's not the one you actively look for when you go shopping.

I’m not sure we should just accept we have the same biscuit preferences though.

Custard creams? Never heard of them, they're totally irrelevant in 2023. McVities haven't released anything decent for thirty years.

Solid choice.  Chocolate Hob Nobs are my pick.  I could Hob a Nob for days if it's covered in chocolate

Coldplay do actually have the material to hold a slot (see 2016). They stand up to a dunking. 

Rich Teas are like digestive but without the foundations. The lightest scrutiny or touch of a cuppa and they disintegrate leaving nothing but disappointment and regret that you didn't opt for something better. A la Mumford & Sons 2013

If custard creams are winning a biscuit poll then Thanos had a point.

Out of upvotes but preach.

It is, except nobody calls anyone a nonce.

A discontinued biscuit remains my favourite, though biscuit is subjective a term.

Probably more of a chocolate bar, these days.

[Gnomicide]

I, for one, cannot wait for the Lizzo/GnR double header.

One hour of telling everyone they are beautiful and can do anything followed by two hours of telling everyone to fuck off. It's the absolute perfect evening for me.

[Xeph1995]

Coldplay are more like Rusks.

You are Peter Kay & I claim my £5! 😃

The best biscuits are the extra chocolatey ones you get in the big boxes from M&S.

Come tell me I'm wrong.

LOL. It's a perfect balance by the end of the evening you will come away thinking exactly the same way about yourself as you did at the start of the evening

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. 

I'm pretty sure Neil trusts me. In the same way that I feel a burning resentment that a band I don't care for at all (Arctic Monkeys) are likely to have a Pyramid headline slot for the third time, it must seem quite offensive that a band he clearly doesn't like is having the peak headline slot at the best festival on Earth. A lot of people felt like that about Jay Z in 2008 (turns out he was brilliant). I feel a bit like that about Harry Styles even though I admit I am ideologically opposed to "someone like him" having a Pyramid slot in the first place and the fact that he probably had sex with Taylor Swift countless times (the bastard) but thereby inspiring most of the magnificent 1989 with lines like "he's so tall and handsome as hell". Do I sound jealous? I'm not a big fan of Guns N Roses myself but they are a huge "heritage"  rock act with a massive crossover appeal thanks mainly to Sweet Child Of Mine which is so obiquitous that it's almost laughable these days.
