Excellent post. So where can you get them in the UK?

Yeah there's 363 pages in this thread, imagine how much value would be gained (and none lost) if 350 of those were about biscuit history, not bickering about GnR.

You should be able to get them in your nearest "Balkan shop". I found two claiming to have them in London (first, second), not sure how many there are elsewhere in the UK. The alternative is hopping on a plane to anywhere between Slovenia and Macedonia, although that might prove to be slightly more expensive.

There was a hell of a vibe where I was stood. I found the whole thing entrancing. Wonderful performance.

Same here, probably depended entirely on what pocket of the crowd you were in. I didn't find the screens to be much of an issue, went perfectly well with the set. 

Decision to dabdown Reckoner from the setlist is unforgivable though. Should have been played instead of Lotus Flower.

Reckoner -> Creep -> Karma Police to finish

I saw them the week before at BKS. I thought they were phenomenal. We got Reckoner too, but at the expense of Creep and Karma Police, which pissed off my friend a lot, as he's not that much of a fan and mostly only knew those two songs. I didn't mind that much. The setting at BKS is much more fitting for Radiohead. Smaller, intimate, there's a lake just by the stage. The crowd was great as well. When they started with Exit it was so quiet, you could hear the waves. Magic.

You'll find her in the kitchen, at the table, making the last minute adjustments to the line up 🙂

Cheers! Will keep an eye out.

And long interludes

 

lets just get tool on the pyramid and everyone can just take even harder drugs while going blind to all the lasers.

 

next year is bangers on bangers with the headliners so im all for it. Knew it was smart to not return in 23 other than the financials.

Never heard them, but this sounds like fun

Lotus Flower was the best track I saw all weekend. I still point to it as how different a song can sound live whilst maintaining pretty much the same arrangement.

Turned a nice little jazz track into a muscular monstrosity.

But yeah, whilst Radiohead are one of my favourite bands, I stood next to group who made me feel decidedly casual. From every little pre-song strum of the guitar, they instantly knew the song and massively improved my experience.

Gawd, that gig had so many different experiences. I'm lucky enough to have enjoyed it pretty much throughout.

Tool atop the Pyramid would be... something.

My clip from the end of their Birmingham show. They're never playing Glasto but it's funny to think about a field full of confused people watching back to back 10 minute prog songs with a lightshow

You clearly don't read Mojo magazine and enjoy 6music enough mate. Eat more hummus and all.

I've got 2 out of 3 there. Don't know how I should feel about that tbh.

Should I buy Mojo and complete the set?

Do we actually have any rumours for WH headliners?

Not heard any, I was assuming that some of the acts being suggested elsewhere could actually be on WH - e.g. if Prodigy aren't on Other then they could be the Sunday headliner on WH (not quite the same as Justice, Bicep etc but would be great in that slot I reckon).  Obviously that'd be a headache - if you want to see Elton nobody decent is allowed to play sunday evening 🙂

True. They were kicked out though. The company did move from sweets to more essential foods during the war and it is now named after Josip Kraš, a croatian partisan killed by the croatian nazi puppet state during the war.

Just been in a busy centre Friday evening pub that put on Crocodile Rock.

When the entire place joined in on the high pitched la la las it was a beautiful reminder of how much Reg is going to fucking rock.

Ahh that's a magic thought there. I'm hanging out for a bit of Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Misty eyed and nostalgic over a G23 that hasn't even happened yet.

If we want a bit of crocodile rock we just get on the ferry to Millport!

Same way that medieval monks never saw a lion, the c**t that painted that never saw a crocodile.

Probably, it was first painted over 100 years ago. Only 50 years before Elton  released the song😊

Crocodile Rock is played out man. 

Someone needs to turn it into Pride Rock with a kung fu monkey and a baby lion.

Nothing can go wrong.

Except decent counter-programming on the Friday night.
