On The Killers, I'd love to have Sam's Town in full over Hot Fuss, any day of the week.

It is quite something tbf that Sam's Town was the one that got the "in full" treatment first with a pair of 10 year anniversary gigs in 2016.

 

Maybe there'll be a 20 year in-full performance of it next year.

Absolutely hate them all with a passion that burns like fire. FFS imagine singing Do Ya Think I’m Sexy at his age. 

Oh blimey man, it’s a bit of fun! People will love it. 
 

And what age should one stop singing ‘Do ya think I’m sexy?’

Asking for a friend.

It's a great dream. Trying to think what other albums would be worth it.

Honestly if they weren't there every few years, Coldplay doing Viva La Vida in full would be pretty amazing. Listened to it on the bus this morning and forgot how much it still holds up. Or just an excuse to hear Chinese Sleep Chant played live again.

I have my hopes. As an album, it just flows better than Hot Fuss, to be frank.

 

That said, I would expect that it would be a Vegas exclusive, again. A one-off at the RAH would be worth a punt, though I've always maintained any return to that venue should be in service of a show behind Pressure Machine.

Decent record, that. Will say probably the last "good" record Coldplay made, though I do think plenty of their singles since hold up better than many give them credit for.

I definitely agree. As someone who does a decent amount of their post-Viva output, I will say Viva is them at their peak. Just the idea of them bringing back songs like Cemeteries of London, Yes, Lovers in Japan, Strawberry Swing and Death and All His Friends sounds pretty excellent to me

Won't lie, if Springsteen decides to air Born to Run for its fiftieth at some point this summer - not an utter implausibility - then I hope it's one of the dates where I'm there to see it. Cracking record.

Had a dream last night that there was a TBA on the Woodsies schedule - turned out to be Radiohead who walked on, played The Bends in full and then walked off without saying a word to the crowd. Anyone else have Glastonbury dreams?

I always dream I’m at Glasto and get to the last day and I haven’t seen anyone play

Yeah that can go in the bin, miles or the level of Coachella this year. For an Americans festivals in general, EDC Vegas has just flattened it.

Rush of Blood is the peak, I'd say...surely?

Rush of Blood is excellent also, for sure. Not the biggest fan of A Whisper compared to the rest of the album but there is so much of their best work on the album (Politik, In My Place, God Put a Smile, Warning Sign, Amsterdam etc.)

[NorthernSoul52]

I think A Rush of Blood to the Head is the defining matter, surely.

But I can buy arguments for other cases.

[NorthernSoul52]

As for the three in question:

 

The 1975: A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
Neil Young: Rust Never Sleeps
Olivia Rodrigo: Guts

That lineup. Coachella walked all over it announcing Tiesto, Alesso, Kaskade. And EDC with 'In seach or sunrise' set. Genuinely, 3 of the undercard and Olivia, bin the rest.

When was the last time Lolla and Glasto shared a headliner then? If that's the tenuous link.

It's not happened for a few years but it has definitely happened before. Acts have certainly played both in the same year before - acts playing the June/July Euro circuit then the US August runs is certainly something that's popped up.

[charlierc]

So has Lollaplooza fully followed Coachella in becoming a post-rock festival?

 

Reminds me this with the way the Paris & Berlin line-ups of this festival have also given up on having rock on their bills.

[Andre91]

I really like that Lolla lineup. Lots of artist I’d want to see there.

I believe this is quite a common dream for glasto goers. I have had the same or similar dream many times, sometimes I am circling about outside the festival but never get around to getting in and other times it gets to Sunday and I haven't seen anything. What does it mean I wonder!

I thought the opposite lol, really poor. I counted 4 sets on there I would watch.
