In 1983 Mandela had been in prison for 20 years. Elton had no excuse. I don't care how much he says he regretted it. In 83 he should just have known better. This came out a few months later, this was the mood of the time he went there. Not right, unforgivable.

 

Any excuse to post this:

Related to headliners but hopefully not this year, has there been a wet one since U2? I don't remember it raining at any of the ones I've been at.

Yeah I was thinking about this not long ago. Possibly the odd shower here and there, although tbh I don’t even remember that, and definitely not anything like U2 or even anything mildly inconvenient. I dread it every year but seem to have avoided it, thus far…

Aye, that figure they quote at the end of Rocketman is extraordinary - bigger than a tory peers corrupt earnings.

Insane number that, was expecting around 50 mil tops before clicking the link (still a impressive number that!)

Thought it rained a bit during Coldplay in '16 but I could be misremembering.

It rained before hand and the mud was horrendous (stopped me from going over to the Other for LCD Soundsystem) but it cleared up as they came on. Have my hood up in pictures so it may have been a bit drizzly

That whole day was a trial - I was watching PJ Harvey on the Other Stage & actually fell asleep standing up (didn't think that was actually possible until it happened to me!)

Stayed for LCD, but didn't really enjoy it, even though I knew it was brilliant! I was just too tired!

Not exactly breaking news...but I was on the train last night, happened to be sitting next to a concert promoter, it's definitely the Arctic Monkeys Friday night he said. 

Yep I don't think either remaining headliner is getting their own announcement and unless they are waiting until the end of March to drop the poster I think the poster may be the next announcement that we get.

if ta headliner announcement isn't going to get a "that's fantastic" response its not worth giving it it's own announcement.

I see where the next five pages of this thread are going already. 

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel

Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon

Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?
