I don't disagree that it's tiresome for Neil to keep bringing up that he dislikes GnR every time they are mentioned, but it's no more tiresome and repetitive than people going "no, it's GnR and Arctic Monkeys" every time someone else throws out headliner possibilities. 

They’re by far the most tedious people in the thread. A thread that’s supposed to be fun and speculative, getting ruined by killjoys rushing in to remind everyone that no discussion is necessary. Yawn.

Little Simz isn't even remotely close, not close to Stormzy yet

The bold is just inevitable, happens at festivals everywhere. I'm sure loads of my group would love the strokes or loyle carner but its not happening and they'll live

How does she compare to where Stormzy was when he was announced?

With the new date there's space to add one more line* before they bugger up the formatting.

This is my thinking too, a mini set of Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City, You Could Be Mine, and a couple of others and it would be a festival highlight. Sitting through 15 other numbers I'm not greatly interested in puts me off...

Yep, that would be spot on! This is my dilemma... it's my birthday that day as well. Definitely a chance I might ditch my husband and find another stage 🤣

I'm a fan of both GnR and Metallica but suspect the average Glastonbury goer will know more GnR songs than Metallica ones. Appetite for Destruction is one of the biggest selling albums of all time so although not singles , songs like It's So Easy , Rocket Queen and Mr Brownstone are problem reasonably well known.  The same can be said to a lesser extent with Use Your Illusions 1 & 2 . I'd suggest the average Glastonbury Pyramid headline fan will be aware of more GnR songs than not just Metallica but also  The Cure , Arcade Fire and possibly many more headliners.

Oh and how can fans of GnR be stuck in 1981 when they weren't even formed then . Like them or loathe them , they're a worthy headliner.

November Rain

Good 90 mins + there of tunes everyone knows. Don't see the issue. Better than standing there politely pretending to like Stormzy.

Throw in a couple of covers such as Live and Let Die , Knocking on Heavens Door and Whole lotta Rosie and you've got a belter of set in my opinion

Not sure an 11 song setlist is 90 minutes? If it is and they drag out their songs that much i couldn't think of much worse, saw foos a few years ago and it was a bit of a snoozefest

This is what I'm hoping for. For me it would be a really fun set.

    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
    • That Wednesday Razzmatazz slot is one of the best/prime slots! 
    • If they fancy chucking something together last knockings, i'm up for it! 😄 Got to get a cat sitter, but i'm 95% there
