I'm still bitter about foo fighters and james getting short sets at Glastonbury 1998, as they showed the England game on the main stage.
Not a fan of international football...
I don't think there's any coincidence that we say 2010 and that's when mobile phones with data plans hit the mainstream. Also the Tories got in. Kids went from listening to CDs they got from HMV with mates in a bedroom, to bumping the latest Grime track on a street corner from a Sony Ericsson that's been bluetoothed around the whole school.
Then there's the sudden import of American culture over the mid 90s to mid 00s. Simpsons, TGI Fridays, Garage Bands, Tony Hawks Underground etc really exposed us to a lot of American pop culture, which brought the new wave of US music (RHCP, RATM, Blink, Eminem, Jay-Z etc). When the mobile phones hit, it never gave the predecessors like US scene music time to develop before the world was listening Paramore, Fallout Boy, Kings of Leon, Imagine Dragons, PatD...
Going by previous years at Coachella, the bar will be 400 metres away from the stage and you'll be locked in a pen until you finish your $18 Coors Light
Yeah Coachella aren't setting bar for anything except for the prices. That bar went 10 years ago.
Tells you a lot doesn't it. Didn't sell out weekend 1 I don't believe and you could buy weekend 2 definitely didn't sell out.
Yes Glastonbury has lost its huge act pull generally. They got Coldplay purely because they know the festival and get it over time but I think we are very much going purely into arena territory. Friday this yesr was arena, Friday replacement is arena. Saturday presumably is arena with the eventually probable Sunday headliner the only one that's arena/stadium borderline. Definitely wasn't an act wanted this side of the fallow year as it shows overall weakness.
