Who is in the Ledgends spot from that Lot? Shania. Sold a fucking shit ton of records. Also, is fit.

Shania Twain is on the Sunday PM slot so not the same as Macca and Elton. I've always avoided going because of the sheer size. I'd probably hate every minute. I prefer smaller, more niche festivals like End of the Road and Green Man. Never fancied it myself either. Just the sheer size of it puts me off and I know it would piss it down the year I'd go. Gimme a 60k festival abroad that's easy to get around with a hotel bed at the end of the night and I'm happy enough watching Glasto on the telly.

Which ones would you go and watch? If they were playing local for example. I honestly wouldn’t pay to watch one single act on that list Long live the closed minded.

You couldn’t pay me to watch that lot let alone remortgage the house to afford to go. Scandalous. I’m sure it’ll be full of middle class, purple haired banner wavers though so all good for the organisers Which ones would you go and watch? If they were playing local for example.

Emily Eavis backed herself into a corner with two female headliner nonsense and now the headliners look really poor. She obviously had some high profile rejections from Madonna and Stevie Nicks and ended up with SZA who nobody’s heard of. There’s so many female artists across the festival that I’m not sure it’s necessary to force the two female headliners narrative until it can happen naturally. She’s already said there will be 3 in 2026. Plenty of good bands and artists for me to watch. Jungle and Fontaines DC as well as Paul Heaton on the main stage. She only said there was 2 female headliners in the last week or so? Edit - I stand corrected. She said it in November. Yeah pretty stupid thing to do.

Dua Lipa - definitely deserves to be there.
Coldplay - I don't mind them but they're bringing absolutely nothing new to the table
SZA - probably the least heard of headline act for a while. Couldn't name you one song and I've listened to her album last year as well. Rumour is that she was a late replacement for Stevie Wonder
Rest of the line up is pretty stacked as usual. LCD Soundsystem on the main stage is a strange one, despite them being ace.

I think I'd have to say The Best of the Beatles.

Minstrels turned into the Pig and Truffle around 1995 I think. Bars around there were Leadbellys, Trinitys, Quenchers, which was later Millionaires then the Tube. Also had Revolution, Fluid, and Chicago Rock Cafe as well as the Junction, Manhattans and Harpers (I think) a bit further into Hanley plus loads I've probably forgotten, plus of course Valentinos, the Place, Chicos etc. And that's just Hanley.
For numerous valid reasons, the generation behind us just don't go out as much as we did. It's a real shame.

It's not very good, however the quality has improved from our first two or three years in this league since relegation. It was absolutely atrocious then.

To be fair to to the absolute wankers, we were affected by the child benefit threshold change so we're 150 quid a month better off than we were last month when we had to opt out of it, so that was a surprise.
Pretty ineffective budget aside from that.

I'm decrepit enough to have seen Jethro Tull live in the 1970s, so a few years ago I was delighted to discover Wolf People, who sounded more like JT than Tull themselves. I never got to see Wolf People, but last night their principal member Jack Sharp brought psychedelic electric folk to the Foxlowe, with his new band Large Plants. Some remarkably original material and some dazzling twin guitars were enjoyed by a typically appreciative Leek crowd. Great to see such superb musicianship in a little venue, the band seemed genuinely delighted by the gig and their reception, and said they'd be back. I saw Jethro Tull a couple of years back at the Viccy Hall with my lad. Superb but much to his disgust Life's a long song wasn't played It's a weird thing when we saw Nearly Dan at Eleven last year they played virtually everything you'd want to hear except for Dirty Work. I went to see the Strokes and they didn't play 'Last Nite'. It was...hard to explain.

Can’t help it but going brag am off see em either me son in Dublin supporting lcd , should be good, both excited. If I understand correctly that should be a fantastic event. I was drawn to 'Dancer' when I read it was a collaboration between LCD and Idles. Like it a lot, elevates it above much of the Idles stuff I've heard since their bombastic bosting onto the 'scene'. 'Mother' and all that. Must admit didn't realise they've done 5 or so albums. They're not for everyone but I fucking love em. New albums been a bit divisive but its probably my 2nd favourite behind Joy.

She's OK but she's no Dua Lipa. I'd honestly put her up there with Madonna in terms of female pop artists. Absolutely love her.

RIP x Used to love their bike rides around the world back in the day...... The Hairy Bikers are a proper guilty pleasure of mine. Always just seemed like genuine, nice blokes. Me too, I can't stand 99% of cooking shows either.
