Must admit that guy Garvey seemed far from a prick when I met him

[Guest]

I'm just saying a lot of the most celebrated bands were pricks as well.

As I said there will always be naysayers that are negative what ever they're given. The Stones had them, U2 had them, Coldplay had them, Beyonce had them, Prince would have them... But the fact remains Jay-Z changed a lot of people's opinions with that set, including Noel Gallagher (not that his opinion means shit, but he was one of the more vocal naysayers in the media.)

If Eavis seriously thought it was dreadful why the fuck would he go & book his wife to headline just 3 years later? In fact, here's a quote for you, from Eavis which totally contradicts what you're trying to say about Jay-Z : "Year before last I was stressed, trying to sell all the tickets, with the Jay-Z situation, or whatever it was. I think it was the previous three years' mud really. But in the end it all turned around at the last minute. It was such a huge thing, with Jay-Z and his wife standing there in the wings. It was amazing"

The lack of other hip hop headliners I've already explained to you, it's due to there being a lack a massive hip hop artists capable of headlining Glastonbury & them being in high demand from other festivals/promoters that can afford to shell out top dollar for a one off exclusive performance. But you're too ignorant to accept the reasoning & instead you'd rather twist the truth to fit your argument.

the first time someone threw a tele out of a hotel window might have been vaguely humourous. Anyone who did it after that, in the misguided belief that it was what you had to do to be cool, was confused

Festival Liam i think you're incorrect in thinking the likes of snoop, dre and outcast aren't as big as kanye and drake. They just appeal to a different age group. Almost everyone my age (30) would take Dre or Outcast over Kanye. And im not sure i even know who drake is.

[laps100]

And in my opinion The Verve and KOL (at that point in their careers) were amazing headliners that year. Probably my favourite headliner year since ive been going.

Dizzee can't be far off headlining, he's easily as big as kasabian

[arcade fireman]

I'm not really a fan of Dizzee but I think it's fair to say he's about as big as Kasabian.

[eFestivals]

I'm not really a fan of Dizzee but I think it's fair to say he's about as big as Kasabian.

the amount of tickets each can shift proves you massively wrong.

Dizzee is perhaps as 'popular' (with a large number of those not much liking music of any sort), but not as 'big'.

[CaledonianGonzo]

he was like three years ago but i think it's fair to say his stock has fallen massively. his new album did shit. most of the singles from it did shit, and unless he quick releases a new album / does something to remain in the public eye i reckon he'll be falling down lineups in the next year or so

[FloorFiller]

A turn on Dancing On Ice might fix that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

i reckon we'll be seeing a lot of 'featuring Dizzee Rascal's on every dance / pop album released in 2014

The problem with Dizzee is that he used to be a credible grime artist, first with Roll Deep then his first couple of solo albums... Then he went a bit mainstream with the "bonkers" album and got mega famous, but a lot of his old fans saw that as "selling out".

Then he did a single with Robbie Williams and lost all credibility, and now I think most people see him as a bit of a novelty act.

[JoBalls]

At least Dizze doesn't deny he started making records for the money and mainstream appeal, in fact he outright said it in an interview.

[mrtourette]

I'm not really a fan of Dizzee but I think it's fair to say he's about as big as Kasabian.

[Yesiamaduck]

True... But surely he could have done that without getting Robbie Williams involved?

[tommyds]

Although he had a good Glasto slot he subbed the second stage under Beady Eye at T, a festival that Kasabian would have headlined. Glasto might be happy to give him higher slots than other places but as a general observation he isn't as big.

[JoBalls]

What if he wanted MOAR money

Besides it's clear he doesn't give two shits about credibility... I liked the first 2 records and I'll leave him be from now onward.
