My concern with Barlow would be that it almost confirms that the Pyramid Stage is now just a glorified 'Radio 2 in the Park'.
I appreciate it's there to provide the biggest suction of crowd, but it's been remarkably bland, a handful of acts aside, for the last few years. The Legends Slot is admittedly the most R2ITP slot at the fest - other than maybe the 12pm Pyramid opener - but at least there have been a lot of actual legends in the last decade; Dolly, Jeff Lynne, Diana Ross. Surely we can't have fallen as far as the Barlow?
I've been enjoying Fcukers, but when I looked at some of their live videos they looked a bit low energy. They've not been around long, and I think they might have been early sets - maybe Confidence Man's energy has rubbed off on them.
I have two spare standing tickets for Massive Attack in Liverpool on Friday, happy to sell at a discount to face if anyone wants them please let me know
