Given how hard this is going to own they finally need their own thread.

The sexiest thing I think I've ever seen:

I think I’m actually more looking forward to Pet Shop Boys than Macca, what a way to finish the festival, on the main stages anyway. Never seen them before.

Sorry Kendrick. I'll see you another time. This is the only way to finish the festival.

[1986]

One of the only clashes that makes me miss them is Kendrick. So I’ll be missing them. Especially now looking at Kendrick’s tour prices. Would love to be there though. 

[deepkittycaz]

Seeing them in Cardiff on Tuesday. I've been waiting over 2 years for this!

[gigpusher]

Yep think they are my top Sunday headliner choice at the moment.

Considering I haven't really made a conscious effort to listen to their stuff since, I dunno, the late 80s, it's amazing how much of that set list is so immediately familiar

I was at the Manchester show and it was superb.

Wasn't planning on going to see them again at the festival but given how good it was may well do so!

[westholtschic]

Can’t wait to see them.

[Mardy]

Going to be amazing, only about 3 songs in that whole setlist I'd change. Everything else is nigh on perfect.

Was it all the covers?!

[The Nal]

Seems theres going to be a huge crowd at this. Ive only seen them once, years ago. 

[Crazyfool01]

I’ll be there 100 % 🙂 gonna be such fun …. They play every 10 years (Obs this one is delayed ) might well be the last chance to see them on the farm

I thought this was going to be a thread about favourite shops over the years - the much-missed Joe Bananas, the Oxfam market stall etc.

PSB will be great and with Kendrick maybe being not to everyone’s taste, they’ll have a massive crowd.

[Mardy]

I'd swap out 'Monkey Business' for 'Pop Kids', 'Wouldn't normally do this kind of thing' for 'You only tell me..' and something, anything instead of 'Dreamland'(but that's not going to happen, and inevitably Olly whathisname will come on for that). 

But those are minor quibbles and in the half dozen times I've sen them, they've never let me down.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Kendrick is and will be awesome - and could be the scene of something awe-inspiring- but given his new album is largely a bummer it's not a guaranteed good time. Now I've got tickets to see him in October this is becoming an easier decision.

Oddly enough I go the other way. The pool of heritage acts is massively reducing - I wouldn’t be surprised to see them headlining at some point.

If there’s a pattern and they go another 10 years neil tennant will be 82 … of course they might not #thereisnopattern 

[maelzoid]

I will be at the Other on Sunday night without question. That recent setlist is mind-boggling. PSB and Macca are my absolute must-sees this festival.

[The Red Telephone]

Glad to see So Hard on the recent setlists - a much underrated banger from their cannon. 

[danssol]

I’ll be there on Sunday. Been on the bucket list forever

Saw them once headlining at Roskilde, when there was nothing else on that I fancied. Liked it way more than expected. That's what I love about festivals.
