How can Urban Cookie Collective still have gigs when Diane Charlemagne died last year? Blasphemy!

likewise.a lot more interestging than most of the uk festivals (if not all of the wones i have seen).

Moderat being billed higher than Blink 182 is pretty o_0 or do they play like arenas in that area of the world?

Do Blink 182 still play arenas in the other area of the world?
― chap, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 10:05 (seven years ago) link
Oh Christ they still do here.

Agree that if that festival was going on in the UK it would be fairy refreshing
The best UK lineup I've seen so far (by far) is Safe As Milk, but it's £150 a ticket

Actually it's £200 but you get a berth
had to sell my ticket for safe as milk :(

Things you were shockingly old to find out: Erasure are still together and performing! Had no idea.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:27 (seven years ago) link
was thinking the other day about how dull all of the mid-sized British festivals (and a lot of the smaller ones as well) look this year, everything boring 6Music-friendly schmindy with some half-decent dance music thrown in if you're lucky. Is it more homogeneous than in the past? Is it something to do with lack of Glastonbury this year meaning things will sell even if very dull?
― Neil S, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:36 (seven years ago) link
glastonbury is happening this year .. its next year they are taking a break.
― mark e, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:41 (seven years ago) link
ah okay, thanks. I suppose that can be ruled out as a cause then!

There are three kinds of UK festival - Super-commercial one-dayers headlined by Bastille - Hippie ska drug-fests headlined by Gentleman's Dub Club - Posho adult-oriented camp-outs set in the beautifully rainy Cotswolds headlined by Joanna Newsom

I don't even remotely understand who that last festival is meant to be aimed at.
Roskilde goes on late and tends to put a DJ on after the headliner on the main stage, and I assume Blink are headlining a smaller stage.

Returning to that awful 1988 Reading Festival - No problem with the Friday, The Ramones followed by Iggy? c'mon.
The other days? Well, the best thing about that was that it was going bad year-by-year until that one, so It Had To Die!

That's a relief, I thought it must be a new duo of Art Garfunkel and John Oates.

What happened to Badly Drawn Boy? He was supposed to be a massive star, now he's spent over a decade propping up the bottom of shitty festival lineups.
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Thursday, 16 March 2017 22:58 (seven years ago) link
I mean, fucking hell, you couldn't possibly come up with a worse line-up than that. Either way, it's some expert trolling!

"Try to imagine your favourite bands, huge tunes, combined with a decadent Victoriana carnival, wicked fun, with a heavy dose of outrageous sideshows, and you’ll begin to get a picture of what HOPE & GLORY festival is. A festival of proper music and real anthems."
