Glastonbury 2017

[Paul]

Is it not on the telly this year, can't see anything on any of the channels?

It's all over the BBC as per. Doesn't start until next week though.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

I was hoping to go for my 40th, however that's the year they are having off. Which I am gutted about. Would have loved to have seen Radiohead this year, but other shit made it impossible.

 

Some really good acts on all over the festival again. Whoever is going, have a few sessions on the DMT and shrooms for me.

Cheers, I thought it was this weekend for some reason.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Last time there I had a great time. Sunburnt to fuck and didn't have a crap for 4 days.

[Remmie]

Haven't been for about 5 years, miss it big time. Don't care who plays, there's bound to be some acts you love be them discovered or had their albums for yonks. In fact there are a million other things to do than listen to music, stand up comedy, cinema, circus acts, weird shit, getting hammered with some very interesting people you'll never meet again & a load of shit I don't even know about myself (not to mention the drug experiences, though not my bag).

 

Not going because of the line up is like not going to Italy because you don't like pizza.

As for horrible toilets and showers, that situation improved hugely at most festivals I was going to over 2007-2013. They clean them a lot more regularly and seem to have improved queuing time to less than 5 minutes. Also prudes can get vip toilet passes to the best shitters and showers going.

 

Something that I enjoyed hearing was that some kids got a little entrepreneurial gig going making cardboard toilet seats and flogging them for 20p each

Radiohead are boss

[The Midnight Rambler]

Poke me when they play 'Fake plastic trees'

[Rico1304]

It always amazes me that they interview people in the camp site on the first day and ask them how it is. They reply 'very chilled'. What the fuck type of campsites are they normally going to?

That's festival code for "we can sit/walk round smoking a big joint and not get arrested for it".

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Never really got Radiohead.

 

Some decent tunes but, on the whole, just rather dull.

 

One of the few bands at Leeds festival who I've fucked off from mid set just to hace a wander round and get some chips.

[mattyq]

Is Monty at Glasto?

Sure I just saw him on tv crying/wanking to Radiohead

They are pretty dam good and I don't normally go in for dirges

My mate was at Best Kept Secret last week and they were the highlight for him. Incredible set list apparently.

Don't do it for me either. Think I got put off them seeing them as the support for Frank & Walters.

[Stickman]

Love Radiohead but as a live band they could send a glass eye to sleep.

[Anny Road]

Not the best set considering the back catalogue. Suppose thats artists for you. Hopes pinned on the encores.

[Fowlers God]

I don't understand festivals. Mud, shit, BO, people, I'm out.

[Dr Nowt]

Thom Yorke looks like he's been drinking paint before going on.

[RoboRiise]

Radiohead play 'fake plastic trees' in their encore, so that'll be worth staying up for. Only really excited about the national.

 

I wish they'd crack on with the encore then, I actually muted them during the last track.  They've made some great music but so much of their more recent stuff (and by 'recent' I mean post-OK Computer) is self-indulgent fucking piffle.  This is the kind of thing I'd possibly want to listen to in a smallish tent at Glasto off my bollocks on mushrooms but not a main stage headliner.  Also Thom looks like someone you'd see down the beach at Margate trying to take sneaky pictures of kids these days.

For about six years before to be precise.

[Joe Strummer]

Something in that set for all Radiohead fans. Incredible band. Was contemplating going to Old Trafford in a few weeks to see them but £70 odd quid on a Tuesday night face value is taking the piss.

Reminding me of the toothless elf foreman, with a white-and-green film over one eye, who Chinaski encounters in the dog biscuit factory in Factotum.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Dizzee Raaasclaart ripping it up on BBC4.

 

Not my cup of tea, but at least it's lively.

He's not relevant anymore.
