Mine was leaving GnR to go and watch  Ivo Graham in the Cabaret Tent, laughed my arse off

That’s the one thing I always tell newbies if you ain’t feeling move somewhere else even if it means having an hour or so away from your mates, 9 times out of 10 you’ll end up chatting to some random anyway

I’m still kicking myself for getting that wrong twice in 2023. First I should have left Arctic Monkeys for Hot Chip as they were shite but we were with a load of mates. Then should have left Elton John as we were too far back  and not feeling it, should have made the effort to move to QOTSA or Phoenix.

same, I was all geared up for Bruce Springsteen, but two or three songs in , I just found it all very dull, not sure why. So I practically jogged over to Avalon and caught the last half or so of the Wonder Stuff, which was a marvelous sing-a-long 🙂

It's tricky to get the balance though.  Having done years where I'm stuck pretty firmly with mates and years when I've followed my own path, I've found you can definitely enjoy music more but sometimes at the cost of enjoying the experience less

WINNER. Was it boss?

 

He (and the band) great as ever. Half decent seats and we stood all gig without a problem so that was a bonus.

Nile self-confirmed so I'm certainly not questioning that level of info but with him at Glastonbury on Sunday 29th, that's 5 days in a row in 4 different countries... not sure he'll have ever done that before. He's also playing 5th July (not quite in screenshot below) so he has only 2 days off out of 11 (25th June to 5th July). Some sets, Glastonbury included, may well only be an hour long but it's still quite surprising to see. If he hadn't self-confirmed, we'd probably have him ruled out with that schedule/amount of shows on consecutive days

 

Edit - They're also playing Love Supreme on Sunday 6th July so that's 2 days off out of 12!

That's an interesting one. You're right, we'd normally say that rules them out. 

I wonder if he'd jumped the gun, maybe he was joking?

Even without Glastonbury it's a hefty schedule but Sunday 29th looks a natural day off including travel between mainland Europe and Ireland

Aye. Feels like plans may have changed. Or maybe he's just a machine! 

 

But England > Europe > England > Ireland > England doesn't make a lot of sense.

Dude is likely loaded from his hedge fund investments and can thus have his private jet to fly to all these shows.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's no doubt loaded, but he'll have all his band and gear too

Exactly the same, I went & watched Stereo MCs at The Glade, sacrilege really!

Would be a real shame I’m yet to see him … other things have always been happening instead

Same. Even though he's been everywhere for the last 10 years or so, I haven't seen him for whatever reason.

cant remember the clashes exactly , think the killers in woodsies was one 

[TheDayman]

It's no doubt a groove but having seen him quite a few times now I have to say, he's getting very bad at talking about how great he is. He spends half his time on stage talking about all the grammys he's won/the big musicians he's friends with/etc., etc.

 

He's getting dangerously close to Russell Crowe terrority.

Maybe loads of guests to help carry the load?

Yeah he did. Quite possibly the best party Glastonbury has ever witnessed. No idea who was on elsewhere

Saw him last year at Latitude and this was very much the case, however as they only had an hour they did manage to cram in a great set aside of that

Arctic Monkeys and Portishead were the Pyramid and Other Headliners when Nile Rodgers and Chic played WH. 
 

Folks can be excused for going to Portishead
