Honestly a bit baffled. I'm getting the impression that a lot of the Kasabian hatred is based on what people have been told about them, not what they've actually seen for themselves, which is kind of disappointing

I'll have you know I've listened to at least several Kasabian songs

Sorry if I missed this but I didn’t realise the BBC in the Diana Ross article are reporting Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift in that order (suspiciously putting Taylor as the Sunday headliner)

It’s not just lifted from the bookies either is it?

Tbh it's probably lifted from here!

BBC news articles on Glastonbury always say that Macca’s rumoured. It’s obligatory.

That’s not listing her as the Sunday headliner, she’s just listed last. She’s probably last in the list because she’s the least significant/last one they thought of. 

[Matt42]

I’d much rather live in the fantasy that they have gone full desert trip and we’ve got a huge trio of headliners.

Paul McCartney and Fleetwood Mac would fit the mould of two bands they would had to start talks with very very early.

It says they are rumoured?

I notice the fact that GnR are confirmed as active next year has slipped past people.

Chances are they’ve priced themselves out but if nothing else it’s another name for the pot.

She’s only free on the Sunday isn’t she?

Might be wrong on my dates but I think she’s playing other festivals in Europe on Friday and Saturday.

After Diana Ross though? That would be something (I know if she played she headlining)

I like them but then again my wife loves Coldplay so we are probably the least cool people here ?

This place is a rollercoaster. From 1975 and Foals to The Stones and Led Zep. 

Everyone just needs to calm down....

You never know. The Stones were paid over the odds yet still took a massive cut. Granted GnR aren't as a prestigious booking but they are still huge.

The Ross effect

If there’s such a thing as doing laddy indie well, I actually think Kasabian do that. It’s just that in 2019 it’s a genre we could do without.

Because they make relatively uncomplicated guitar music good for radio, singalongs, "lads" and the pub. Deemed unartistic and not clever enough by and large, but because they're big and sell tickets they've got a  big old target on them.

I'm not a huge fan myself, although I do think they're a lot better live than on record.

The short answer is "because efests "

Riiight I get you. So they're disliked basically because they make catchy music, but people are wetting themselves over the potential of Taylor Swift?

[priest17]

Shall we just have a week where we all get behind Macca, Mac, and Swift? Like, as a treat? Next Thursday, straight back to Foals vs. 1975, but no ones getting ruled out in the next week, we could actually enjoy ourselves for a little bit before it starts heating up heading into Christmas.

?‍♂️

Swift is globally huge and would be a step forward for the fest to have big female headliners and something different. I'd prefer her as a headliner, but prob wouldn't watch either.

But the roasting, you got me. Your guess as good as mine.

The reality no one wants to admit exists.

(sorry!)

 

[Doug85]

I never really understand the total roasting of Kasabian apart from the fact they have released some shit however most bands do. I do think they try to make music for arenas than anything else. 

They are much better live than I ever thought they would be.
