They are stupid if they didn’t ask The Weeknd. He’s dropping his last album under that name very soon and would absolutely kill a set on the Pyramid. Has 10 years worth of hits that everyone and their mother knows and actually sounds better live. Has mentioned in an interview before how much he would love to headline the festival as well.
Yes, that fight I hardly worth mentioning really.
The thing that struck me most was the bias of the commentary and refereeing in the women's fight. They were heaping praise on Amanda (sorry, I forget her last name), giving her rounds she has no business winning, and the referee seemed to take a point from Kate Taylor for no reason.
I was certain they'd give it to Amanda to set up a rubber match but thankfully the judges got it right (a rarity!). It seemed to me that Amanda was wild and was hitting Taylor's gloves a lot, while Katie Taylor was making angles and connecting with clean, damaging punches.
I haven't gauged the reaction of the internet, but I thought Katie Taylor won by a good 4 rounds.
Welcome to the party! Congrats on getting a ticket. I’m sure you’ll find things you’ll love - there’s so much to see and do. The site is vast though and I’m not sure staying in a B&B or hotel will be easy but if you want a quieter spot at night and you don’t mind paying a bit more you could check out some of the pitch your own/pre pitched sites really near the festival (eg Love Fields or Holt Farm which are next to Ped Gate C and D) or the festivals own pre pitched tents (Worthy View or Sticklinch). Others may have other suggestions.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm going to leave this conversation because it's ridiculous. Anyone who lived through smoking's heydey knows that it's a good thing it's on its way out, and it's down to public choice and common sense.
