Adele was going to headline but play at sunset because she was scared of the crowds.

The logic of why she’d play when it was still light and could clearly see the gargantuan crowd in front of her was never expanded upon.

As if it would make the slightest bit of difference as well! She would be the biggest act on that lineup by a country mile - there’s no way that they could cut that crowd down at all.

I saw KC at my very first festival. Reading 2006.

Half way through yer man starts a chant of...

”When I say Kaiser, you say Chiefs!”. 

It was at that moment I vowed never to return to Reading festival. 

Not even at the end of the first night! That was my first festival, I remember getting soaked watching Franz and being blown away by the weekend as a whole. Not interested in any other festival because there's no way it could get better. How wrong, young and naive I was.

Didn’t Franz have some dancing robots on stage that night? Or did I imagine that?

Yeah I think they were like mannequins with lights for heads doing the cancan. That sounds even more absurd. I'm going to try and find a video.

That sounds familiar.

I’m just glad it wasn’t a chemical inspired hallucination.

Ah God, how I loved Franz.

They rode their luck a bit getting the headline slot at R+L when Arctics requested to sub rather than top the bill, but FF were in their prime and it certainly doesn't look as daft as Razorlight in 2007.

Smashed the Other in 2009 too. World-beaters for five years, took their moment well.

I’ve always got time for Franz. One of those bands I’ll always make an effort to see when they pop up on a lineup.

Yeah it was a great weekend overall.

Peak Muse, Franz were ace, YYY’s. 

I remember it was also the first time I’d ever even heard about Glastonbury. 

We had caught the festival bug and were discussing where to go the following year. 
 

“We should do Glastonbury” my mate said.

”What’s that?” I replied. 

The rest is history.

I was a bit slower than that but similar story. That Saturday was incredible at the time and has aged well in most places. I think it's the most time I've spent at one stage on one day at any festival, from Wolfmother through Muse who were also at their peak then in my opinion. In fact that Muse set is one of my favourite headline sets of all time I think.

I’ve seen them interviewed a few times and they still call it their best ever.

The reformed Bloc Party headlining JP or Park in 2021/2 would see me there, tbf. If Editors can do it...

Saw Bloc Party at The Roundhouse a few years back. 
 

They’ve still got the chops to headline JP for sure.

That lineup just threw a can of Carling at me!

Listened to them a lot today and would love a mid afternoon pyramid set. Guessing no chance though.

Roskilde now sharing that Thom Yorke and Whitest Boy Alive are both exclusive to the festival.  
There’s no clarification what kind of exclusive, but I’d hate for that to mess with West Holts schedule.

Thom’s already been announced for Pohoda festival so must be a Danish exclusive.

I think it just means exclusive to Scandinavia. Think I read it another post Roskilde made

Is Haim being around new information? They’ve announced a rescheduled Dublin date for late next June and Soccer Mommy is supporting, who I believe we weren’t expecting because her UK tour was moved to Feb.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Haim being back in the mix is glad tidings.
