To be fair feel sorry for Dave Grohl -  Obviously what he has done is sh*tty -  but compared to the behaviour of some of his fellow rockstars who have has nowhere near the same negative coverage for equal or worse behavioir seems very disproportionate in terms of negative coverage

Wait, has Fred been bounced now? 

 

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one, etc, etc. 

 

No, I think it's more that there's no concrete info (unless I've missed something).

 

It makes complete sense, in theory, but who knows.

I don't think anyone else in tbe industry has this true gent of rock persona about him though. Others haven't exactly hidden their multiple female relations nor have they cared its known...because it's rock and roll.

 

The feeling I get with grohl is he's almost hidden behind it and the last person you expect. Like he's first to speak up at his gigs if stuff kicks off etc and taking the moral responsibility to stop it etc.

Michael Eavis is a member of the Methodist church and has deep religious beliefs. These have probably been passed down to his children.

But was this an actual factor during bookings in the past decades? I never got the impression that their religious beliefs were relevant to the fest.

Woah. I mean yeah whataboutism poor use of that. 

 

I mean if you think what Dave Grohl did should be treated as worse than say rapists or acts that sex with minors etc.... when it comes to being booked by a festival...

 

Seriously have a look at yourself.

No, because cheating on your wife isn't at the same level of sexual abuse.

 

But Foo Fighters shouldn't be playing Glasto again regardless of what Grohl did.

Read what you quote.

 

Obviously he doesn't deserve worst coverage than rapists - but what I quoted said 'equal' as well.

 

I guess I wasn't completely clear, but thought that part would be obvious!

@AVALON.G see above and consider an apology.

Ii stand by my comment. Highlighting the word equal does not make or worse bit of the Sentence disappear.

Interesting. 

 

Wonder if Snow Patrol move up Other consideration with Latitude now. 

 

They actually headlined Latitude quite recently 2022 the once and only time i will go to that festival - its a prime kind of headliner that suits a crowd that at the same festival could take 0 interest in acts like Little Simz, Mdou Moctar, Self Esteem, Kae Tempest.   They love the Beige at latitude

THink the Rolling Stones have a fair few out of wedlock kids between them. this will not be an issue. 

 

One of them has even slept with a few minors 

 

The Stones have always been portrayed as womanisers in the media. Dave hasn't put a foot wrong before, he had a reputation as being the nicest rock star.

I doubt it, but I get the impression that Dave had become a friend as has Chris Martin and accepted into the inner sanctuary of Worthy Farm. He was valued by the family, not just a booking for the festival.

Fair, I'll admit to not knowing anything about the Methodist Church and what that would entail for interpersonal relationships. I would hope the Eavis' are able to forgive Grohl at a friendship level.

Isn’t it all about forgiveness? 

 

Funny how most doctrines seem to major on forgiveness, but zealous followers ignore it.

I am sorry that what I said was unclear but I did not mean this. I would never suggest that and have made that very clear.

Are people seriously suggesting an artist shouldn’t play if they’ve had an affair out of wedlock? Who does that leave us with? Daniel O’Donnell and Cliff Richard 

Cliff?
remember the words of living doll?  Bondage and kidnap not exactly Christian values😉😊

 

’Gonna lock her up in a trunk

Steals her away from me’

Sadly even the former is too spicy for Glastonbury 

 

Irish legend Daniel O'Donnell says he's ready for an affair -

    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
    • I mean...I do think it all needs more regulation, but god knows how when it's all so global...but there's so much stuff on there that is messing with our little minds. But also, he has given these companies till September, and well...he'll surely be gone by then. I think social media ban for under 16s will likely happen, but I think regulating it for everyone is better. It's the not the kids we should be worried about, it's all those middle aged doom scrolling keyboard warriors like me.
    • I agree the prices are tough for locals. You can see if Porto timetable is the type that works for you and it's a terrific city. Also cheaper. https://www.primaverasound.com/es/porto/lineup-porto
    • thanks XXialac! i guess for us the most important aspect will be a festival that starts very late in the day, specially in these southern countries were it can be really hot! The combination of visiting a new city, having good lunches and enjoying a festival is a absolute must for us. Also, we like headliners but the undercard is just as important; truly enjoyed Men I trust, NewDad, Big Thief this year so from that angle it is not really a big thing if a festival is somewhat smaller.    Apparently my bad, i had 5 in my system but 0.5 (10%) increase is still huge. I am not sure how teenagers can afford these prices............
