Re: Glastonbury

both my girls love Olivia Rodrigo, going to Dublin to watch her and Hyde park

to be fair to her, her Guts tours will be touring for 18 months and while its a arena tour, still playing to 15 K to 25 K a night and around 1 & 1/2 Million people ( mainly girls and gay lads ( Deffo not the middle aged football fan ) looking at the people going to the gig I took them to in Birmingham last year ) they enjoyed it though

the other 2, notarially heard of them

Charli XCX was massive globally during 2024.

Re: Glastonbury

At the risk of coming across all Seymour Skinner, that seems like an incredibly shit lineup to me

Hasn't been a decent festival since about '86. '89 was the last time I attended and could see by then it's slide into mediocrity.

Nope never heard of any of them, so I asked my sons & daughter in law, still a total blank.

It was, but scarily was a generation ago, and there's a new generation who like newer music.

yeah that's always happening - but also the festival lineups have become a lot more mainstream.
back in the day there were people who went to indie festivals who listened to this kind of music, and there were people who listened to dance music and went to dance festivals and people who listened to chart music and went to radio 1 big weekend etc.

nowadays there doesn't seem to be those "tribes" any more.
