It's had its funding slashed in recent years so it's lucky to be being held at all tbh. They've said Manchester will be it's permanent venue for the forseeable future I believe. Shame really, we went to the first year and also the year they had it Glasgow, which was brilliant. Future Islands, Goldfrapp and Sparks as a triple bill, wouldn't get that these days.    Agreed, Victoria Warehouse is a terrible venue. Aviva Studios would be a much better place to have it

But not all ages will be safe 

You'd like to think no chance, unless they play in the dark there is no point. It was a dust bowl, average at best show last time, especially in the heat. Just does not go down well in the day time.

Just bopping about in the kitchen (doing the cleaning) to a certain band and I had a revelation. If Glastonbury want the perfect budget "legends", this band has a good 5-6 widely known hits, and a brilliant "flash dance" song. I saw them at a festival the other year and they were definitely "good enough" to pull it off, but I think Buster is in his last legs, so make it happen quickly. Bad Manners! They would make a hell of a saving compared to booking Rods and Shanias, and the audience would eat it up 😁😁😁

Yeah I'm the opposite where I wouldn't pay to see either of those separately, definitely not at f/v. I might look for a KOL ticket later cheaper but the other are just boring for me. I gave their recent set list a listen recently because I was looking at the festival but nope. 3 song band for me at a stretch.   If you add The Prodigy to those two of The Cure and Pulp you've got a massive 3. I can't see how if they tour next year The Prodigy wouldn't do Victorious as they'll have done the rest and the same kinds counts for Pulp. Even if The Prodigy played Creamfields, Victorious the same weekend wouldn't rule it out.
