They put on a big show for sure.

Feels weird since I kind of associate them as being very meat-and-two-veg.

In my 50's and my pogoing and moshing days are well and trully in the past. My festivals days now include lot's of sitting down, standing with my arms folded, foot taping, nodding or politly clapping. I have not quiet reached the walking around with my hands behind my back stage yet.

Believe that's what's referred to in the Glastonbury thread as the "picnic blanket brigade"

 

Although I'm in my 30s and regularly walk with hands behind back. Dunno what that says about me tbh.

I think Empire did a bit of damage to their reputation as that was imo their most direct lad-rock album, around the time everything they did seemed to end up as a football highlights soundbed. The following albums were always a lot more interesting and weird than that.

Biffy Clyro, on each occasion I've seen them, has come with some good lights. Generally not too complex, but very complimentary.

Seriously considering this for next year. Really solid line up. But is it a really young festival ala Reading? Feeling my old self will feel well out of place!

Not at all. There is a strong young group but lots of older with families as well. Much older than Reading.

Any other names we're guessing might feature when the first wave fully breaks cover this evening?

Felt like a hybrid to me. I went in 2019 back when I was still late-20s and didn't feel out of place. There were people from younger and older demographics and I suspect that's still the cause even as I'm now early-30s. Which is very much late-20s given it's 29+2/3/4/5 lol

Yeah - @2025istheyear who is clearly in the know and not just a bullshitter has promised us an American headliner so we're all looking forward to that.
