Stop moaning about the headliners

It's a long standing tradition to complain about something you can easily avoid at Glastonbury.

In recent years many bands, too many people, too many old people, too many young people, changing legality of mushrooms and showing football have all been suggested as likely to "ruin" the festival experience. I'm sure there are dozens of others too.

Amazingly - my festival experience has changed due to some of these things, but was never actually ruined. Yet :lol:

That's not why I thought he'd get bottled (the bolded bit). I was there that year (2003, when Jay-Z was supposed to play) and if I remember rightly Staind got shit thrown at them too and they certainly aint an urban rap act. Didn't it knock out their sound/electrics or something? I seem to remember him doing acoustic but my memory's a bit blurry. I also remember wet stuff landing on my back and thinking 'please be water, please be water'. :lol:

Edited for clarity.

    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
