I see people predicting Travis as Pyramid or Other stage opener on one of the days, I don't think they'd take a slot that low if they're headlining other festivals.
Franz Ferdinand are also headlining here and people are predicting them much higher. Manic Street Preachers played 3rd from top on Other in 2023 too.
Agreed they are an interesting band.
in the 90s and 00s they rarely played Festivals. I found their own shows expensive relative to those of their peers so never really went to see them.
Over the last decade that has changed massively as they have played loads and loads of Festivals and I’ve managed to catch them several times. Maybe now the fees bands charge has gone up so much they now consider them “worth doing”
They do mix their set lists up quite a bit so if you expecting wall to wall greatest hits you might be disappointed. I quite like that though and don’t forget the album they released last year got to number one in the charts.
Having said all that, I don’t see them as an APE band but didn’t Stereophonics play once so who knows.
Two of the hostages being released have been held for about 11 years....apparently they entered Gaza for some reason and then apparently got held hostage...bit weird.
Actually pretty good/stacked for me. Bit miffed about the Rise Against/Bad Nerves clash as they’re both very punk influenced. Would also like to catch Don Broco if time permits however I’ve seen them way more than EODM who I’ve never caught. I’m probably take a decision on the day with Jimmy Eat World and Trophy Eyes as I know Jimmy Eat World more however they’ve been terribly boring the last few times I’ve seen them. Sunday defo the weakest day as I only really care for Korn, Airbourne and House of Protection.
