I think the festival should actively try to not sell out and become less popular, ultimately leading to its demise. Sounds a good idea!

Or maybe down size to a sensible footprint and sensible number of people and stop trying to be all things to all people.

They need to book headliners with a certain amount of popularity or you end up with situations like Charli XCX v Neil Young which we can all agree was a misjudgement regardless of personal taste. 

 

Both are quality headliners, the booking was fine, the placement was not. But this is a special case, NY was for Michael 

[CaledonianGonzo]

In that scenario the areas that you frequent would be the first to go.

Why is is so hard to enjoy the bits of the festival you enjoy and leave the rest be? Everything needs to go which you don’t like? Your arrogance is astounding.

That’s exactly what I do, haven’t been to Acoustic since 1985, it’s a very long time since I’ve been to Avalon or Woodsies. 
 

Interesting thing I noticed this year. Somehow I’ve developed an excellent visual filter while at the festival.

Yeah I mean instead of droning on about areas/ bookings you don't like/ go to on here?

I personally think every stage that I haven't been too across my four Glastonbury's should be demolished with immediate effect.

 

So long Blind Tiger and Speakers forum. We hardly knew yeh

[Ben7amin_]

Barry Can't Swim getting a WH headline in 2027?

 

Chase & Status or BICEP live for the other stage?

IMO it really doesn’t matter. 

So in the end it doesn't even matter... Linkin Park confirmed?

The ignore button doesn't work - I added a user to it a few days back at moderator's request yet I'm still seeing that users posts sadly. Maybe check it works before directing us to use it?

Maybe check you have actually added the user to the ignore list before you tell people the ignore button isn't working?

I mean, I'd be all over that. Had hoped dearly it would have been this year.

 

But think he's probably a one-and-done. It's three years in Europe without doing it now, even after flying over in 2022 for a cameo.

McCartney seemed like a one and done

Not sure what you mean?  I'm saying McCartney playing in 2004 seemed like that would be it and he'd never play it again, he'd done it. But he eventually did play again after enough time had passed.  Springsteen could end up being similar, coming back to headline just because it's been ages.  McCartney has played twice now, so wasn't a one and done.

Should have mentioned I was talking about Bruce

Oasis won’t accept a headlining offer in 2027 if Fontaines.D.C. is another Pyramid headliner on the same weekend.

The Gallaghers were pretty pissed off when Fontaines turned down a support for the reunion shows.

 

One or the other if anything materialises.

Highly doubt Fontaines were asked when they ended up with Cast & Richard Ashcroft- clearly wasn't the vibe they were going for.
