Just after Miserably Dressed. 

Did we ever get to the bottom of that?

After Dabbie Downer

If Foo Fighters do show up in place of GnR I'll take over from Neil and go at them studs up for the next six months.

It’s not being a Debbie downer, just using a fraction of common sense. 

Christ what a miserable response 

I do believe a lot of people in the forum can’t help but be rude, c**ty etc.

 

if people can’t have a bit of fun then why be here purposely making yourselves angry at others?

 

didn’t know Debbie downer would upset someone so much

Not officially. 

 

Unofficially - The Cure, My Chemical Romance, Ghost.

 

(obviously not the first two)

I agree that America's answer to the Stereophonics are prime candidates for a secret set.

I'll let the people who don't want secret sets because they get busy raise any other objections.

Ladbroke, Paddy Power etc obviously monitor this site so odds on the Foos will be slashed and Debbie Downer will suddenly be 4 to 1.

Festival lineups across the board really are so so average this year aren't they? 

The cost of putting stuff on has increased massively. I think some people are holding back.

I wonder if they just look at the rumour page or dare to venture within the threads 🙂

Use your illusions too 😉 

It seems some on this thread have an appetite for (forum) destruction.

Wanting a band you clearly like to perform over one you don’t, even though they headlined just two festivals ago. Absolutely hilarious content.

If they did read the threads and fix odds on what they read  that  would probably bankrupt the betting industry in this country

@Hugh Jass IIWhere were you 06/01/20? 

I seem to recall you didn't post anything on here that day 🤔

Yes this is a late response but I thought it was January 6 2021 when that shitshow went down, and Jan 6 2020 woulda just been a fairly normal Monday.

I was busy enjoying life in blissful ignorance of the 18 month clusterfuck coming everyone’s way.

Is there a reason why Foo Fighters can't headline instead of GnR??!?!?!!?

They're active!

I thought The National were meant to be on hiatus so interesting to see they're around. Whether that also translates into UK dates given my poor choices meant I missed APE is another matter.

Not sure where the hiatus thing came from. Not heard anything about that. They're gearing up for a new album.

Instead of pissing about they could have just played Stacked Actors.

Will say that at Milton Keynes Bowl in 2011 they did play Stacked Actors but used that as the ground for the longest solos and even a solo battle, to the point where it lasted about 12 minutes. So, they can but can also do it that way.

Even if I don't think it's been played since that tour.

Hmmm - Aaron Dessner said in an NME interview ahead of APE it would be a while before they came back, but maybe that was just referring to the UK rather than the band necessarily stopping for a bit.

They ain’t my favourite band. I like house/rap 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼

Certainly with regards to headliners. Seems too many festivals are stuck in the past this year. To be fair GFL did well last year, but seem to have lost their bottle this year.

Why not take a chance? Glastonbury will sell out regardless so go for it, have fun, put some interesting acts headlining, don't worry about wether they've sold out a million stadium nights in a row.

If we lose a load of "picnic blanket/camping chair/slabs of cheap lager/bucket listers" so what.

Here's my shout - Kraftwerk headlining the Pyramid.

“Too many festivals are stuck in the past.”

Suggests Kraftwerk to headline.

I set them up, you put them in!

Too obvious though.

Would make a nice change from stale rock, which was what I meant by "stuck in the past"
