I assume they still play all the bangers of old… Having seen them a few times they play Buck Rodgers, JTWIF & Just a day every gig. They 100% will also drop in the lead singles for some of there mediocre more recent albums. Yet even on their own tours these songs are poorly received. As a band they seem very irritable about people not listening as much to more recent stuff but as a fan of theres they perhaps need a reality check that the reason people are not listening to those albums is that they are just not very good. Mind you...... sometimes Glastonbury brings something different out of acts and they put there best possible self out there. The Manics also insist on the a similar thing to Feeder however at Glastonbury last year they disregarded the last 10-15 years of recording and just did the songs people want to hear.

Having lambasted some acts the other day for their attitude, have heard the Feeder pair have a pretty good reputation, so that is an interesting thing. This support slot from last year highlights the point though. Needs a little more hit ratio, though that being said, they are nominally touring said record. This show from the greatest hits tour was bloody terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R&L basically have Lana Del Rey subbing, would be a bit of a clanger if Glasto get Elbow. LDR is a headliner... she doesn't do subbing. She's gets very upset when she's not on the top line. And at least Elbow turn up on time and play their full set. /salty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show from the greatest hits tour was bloody terrific. Yeah that's a cracker. For me given as open act they would get about 10 songs I'd love this 1 - Feeling A Moment 2 - Insomnia 3 - Just The Way I'm Feeling 4 - Yesterday Went Too Soon 5 - High 6 - We Can't Rewind 7 - Comfort In Sound 8 - Buck Rodgers 9 - Come Back Around 10 - Just A Day Fully aware it cuts out some albums out and it was painfull to not fit Pushing The Senses in but hey it's a fantasy pick. Silent Cry & Generation Freakshow have some good moments but I just don't feel even the best bits of those albums hold up to the first 5 albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if she's so bothered about where she plays on a lineup, I would recommend that she checks where she's going to play on the lineup before agreeing to the booking...

I do wonder how much money is done to sway her. The R+L case was at least sold as a headline job, but no idea how she thought she was outright headlining Glastonbury, as it seemed to be.

gfa Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 3 hours ago, NorthernSoul52 said: Other headliner? Don't think so Their sub spot in 2019 was already a push WH / Other sub / 3rd pyramid is where they should be really --- Lana's billing at Reading is as a 'headliner' so its not really subbing even though it is to an extent. She'll have been paid a lot better than glasto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
