Got to assume Billy Joel would have balked at the fee if approached too, which is a shame.

 

I mean it's not going to be him regardless, but I wouldn't have thought he'd be so fussed on the fee - the pedigree of the other acts that have done it wouldn't be lost on him.

Maybe we've been too hasty to write off Green Day.

Green Day are doing Download and they have paid a lot for exclusivity.

 

It was also announced this week that they are headlining Tinderbox on the Saturday of Glastonbury weekend and they are already booked to headline Tons of Rock on the Thursday and a show in Luxemburg on the Monday. They haven't done three shows in a row since pre Covid. Not happening.

Yeah - I'm aware of the main reasons for them being discounted (albeit not the 'paid a lot for exclusivity' element).  Just spitballin' other potential names in the frame.

Until the Tinderbox announcement, I thought that the possibility of them doing this was increasing. But yeah, it's gone in the bin now.

Well it also had The National, Two Door Cinema Club, Jimmy Eat World and Madness. As a sequence, it all sounded like fun.


‘‘Twas a heck of a day. Even if The National played to a small, disinterested crowd. Had Mark Thomas doing a set about his book walking the Israel-Palestine barrier in the morning too followed by Daniel Sloss and Tom Stade. 
 

Come to think of it, that was a brilliant day.

Which year? We went in 2019 and it was an awful experience cause of the sound.

The Strokes were off the chain good at All Points East. Apparently there were sound issues, but not where we were...

Same, immense where we were and excellent crowd. One of the best days of my life, a splendid 24 hours of debauchery and my first time seeing them after years of waiting!

 

[Edit: even if they didn't play Take it or Leave it, or Trying Your Luck🥲]

One of the worst gigs I've been to, for the same reason.

 

I've had enough rants about that though, so I'll leave it there. Lytham the other year made up for it, that was special.

 

Would it kill them to do something outside of these sporadic $$$ dates though? 🥲

All I remember about the strokes was they sounded OK and then Pulp came on and made them look extremely average.

    • 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?
