A lot of it is about whisky though

I'm now more interested in country than I've ever been.

Strong enough to add to the eFestival line up page do you think?

Personally I'd say weak as piss. Others have been taken in by it though.

Based on what? They rather love themselves over there. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not like Fender's outside the realms of possibility tbf.   He's got to be one of the last few pieces still standing on the board.

[nikkic]

He’s an obvious choice. Was only a matter of time before he headlines. 
 

Could end up being O Rod, Sam and Fred after all.

To be fair, he's only marginally above evens, and there's a maximum stake of £25 on the market so nobody is getting rich.

Still think it needs a few more miles on the clock.  Swap one of the lads out for Stevie and it'd be set fair.

Seems a bit dull. A headliner trio that wouldn’t be out of place at Reading and Leeds or BBC Big Weekend or whatever it’s called now.

The old owner here was rude to a load of old regulars on here who now have a big discord with a decent amount of in the know people on there.

 

what odds did you get on fender?

Someone from Sam’s record label saying Sam’s team is in negotiations to headline glasto

That is where Glastonbury is going on the whole now really. None of this years headliners would have looked out of place there. One actually did it.

Is there a way to view discord normally?

 

I got 6s pal.

 

As much as I'll quote The Post again, I did read it I the vein that he was the next step along if both Rihanna and Stevie were unable to. I think he would close on Sunday as well

Fair whole back, as soon as a market appeared really.

 

As ford discord, can you confirm if it something that includes a app needing to be download to a community.

you can access discord via app or on a computer, it's a cross between a forum and a group chat in this context really

[Spindles]

Discord is basically IRC with bells on.  There's a web version, iirc, but it's a decent client to have on your pc or phone as quite a lot of communities, from gaming to interest groups, use it these days.

What about posting something like the Glasto subreddit then? Not trying to churn up an argument, but ultimately the internet is full of stuff that can potentially take away traffic from this site.

 

And not that I'd recommend people to visit that particular Discord, the culture there is full of puritan hall monitor posturing and immature cliquey/mobbing behavior. Not to mention of course the whole ticket day shenanigans last year.

Not something we’d discussed as mods or with @eFestivals so might need to get back to you .

Oh I agree, I’d take Stevie over any of that trio.

We need something to tell us it’s a possibility though, at the moment it’s nothing more than a pipe dream.

Back when eFestivals was owned and run by Neil, quite a lot of "rival" festival news sites/forums, eg. virtual/strictly were blocked links. In the case of the discord, we'd discussed this with Iggy, and the direct block has been removed for discord servers in general because the internet is in a very different place to how it was 15+ years ago. 

 

However, for this specific discord, several members there have decided to directly target eFestivals to grow that platform including trying to be disruptive to moderators here, and it is because of that culture that we won't permit public links.

Agreed he was great. Just not sure he's ready to step up to headliner. If he had a strong album coming out then why not. If it's a bit meh then no? Make or break
