Re: Glastonbury thread

Arguably the worst line up of Glasto ever in my opinion

The one I went to in 2011 had an awful line up. Made the most of it though.

Aye…who is even playing bar 80 year old macca? In saying this some of the best times I had there were finding a random party or live show by someone in a marquee that wasn’t advertised….massive attack djs always did this aswell as some fine Trojan reggae. Places I literally could never find again if I went looking too…..just a small gate leading down through some trees, you’d never know it was there but it would go on until 6/7 am

The Sugar Lump was always a good tent

I was not into acid or e

I just used to sit there stoned people watching all these ravers totally off their faces at 11 am in the morning

It was bizarre

Re: Glastonbury thread

Pheonix Festival 96 was incredible.

Bowie, Neil Young, Bjorn, Sexton Pistols were the headliners.

Then you had...
Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Beck, Placebo, Cocteau Twins, Cypress Hill, Foo Fighters, Manic Street Preachers, Placebo, GZA, Flaming Lips, Gene, Super Furry Aninimals.

Re: Glastonbury thread

Seen Fontaines D.C a number of times recently, possibly my favourite band around at the moment. Surprised not in a more prominent slot.

The JAMC/Primal Scream double header in John Peel has the potential to be rocking (Wonder if Bobby G will get on the old drums again for JAMC).

I'd say Warmduscher well worth a watch, two great albums behind them now, brilliant live.

I'll be seeking out Jarv Is, Sleaford Mods, Cate Le Bone and Avalanches on iPlayer too, in fact most of The Park stage line up looks pretty good.

I feel exactly the same way about Cate

I know Ive seen most of them at a festival, and it was a outstanding lineup, didnt see Bowie as he wasn't my thing, but I cant for the life of me remember going to Pheonix 96, I know we did 97, as it was the black grapes, de la soul and fun loving crim's

Re: Glastonbury thread

I can't see Macca in a two-man tent and queueing for a tom tit.

Funnily enough, I've just received an email from the Cheese and Grain venue in Frome stating that Macca is appearing there tomorrow at 5pm with ticket prices set at £25. Tickets only available in person. Seems like a warm-up for Glasto.

I think that's a piss take and goes against the left wing politics of the band

They did a free concert in Hyde Park , I don't see why they are not sticking it to the man

Great band apart from the silly guitar solos

Re: Glastonbury thread

Doubt anyone in here is going judging by the ages? I guess if you were you would already be there….having been 5 times I know a lot goes on despite the main stages but I don’t see too much to get excited about in the line up after 3 years waiting?? Any of the regular oldies on here go in the 1970’s?

there is some real quality there this year. Fontaines DC, DryCleaning, Wet Leg, Yard Act, Rufus Wainwright, Foals, Blossoms, The Libertines, Metronomy, Sleaford Mods, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Self Esteem, Amyl and the Sniffers, Squid, Warmduscher, Billy no Mates, the Chemical Brothers, Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada etc etc

Plus the usual diamonds you find on the smaller stages as well as the old favourites.

We used to hire a motor home for download , slum it during the day , sleep like a baby

That's definitely the way to do it.
