Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival

alistair

Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode, Prince and Fleetwood Mac. Just four artists that should have headlined. Will probably be Coldplay for the fifth time

vinnyt77

alistair Fleetwood Mac headlining the Pyramid would be my proper once-in-a-lifetime gig…

alistair Depeche Mode

They did a neat trick of being a stadium act while staying sort of underground, or alternative at the same time. I can see why they never headlined, I don’t think they even did any festivals until recently.

Millsy

Adele and Ed Sheeran, with Jive Bunny in support. Roisin Murphy on backing vocals.

Smallman1

AC/DC should headline.

Smallman1

They’re after too much money the greedy bastards.

vinnyt77

Smallman1 Have heard the same. V sad if true.

Dan

vinnyt77 Glastonbury doesn’t pay as much as normal gigs despite their massive ticket sales. Whether your a band or DJ it’s a supposed privledge to play there. Greg Wilson said on his blog they only pay 2/3rd of your normal fee.

ScottBailey

Minus Lindsey too

alistair

ScottBailey should have already happened. They’d have been a wonderful on Sat night.

ScottBailey

alistair not sure I’d want to see them now. Was lucky enough to see them in 1990, albeit without Lindsey….again

alistair

Arctic Monkeys would be good again especially with a new album round the corner

Heno

alistair seen them twice there both times excellent

Coachella is the same for lower-billed acts. Organizers see it as the best sort of promotion if you get booked there. Not sure about the super-headliners. I would guess they get a fairly high rate. Not sure why Coachella bothers given the place will sell out regardless of who the headliner is. Guess it’s a prestige thing.

Dan profit mostly goes to charity now that the cunts at Livenation have fucked off out it. Livenation made that festival a nightmare

Phil-McRackin

Think I read that headliners were budgeted at £500k

ScottBailey

Genuine question for the US members: Cochella or Lolla’?

jonattonyeah

ScottBailey

Coachella because it’s closer and the surrounding area is beautiful. But it is bonkers hot. Like obscene. Gotta be 130/55 in those dance tents midday. They used to have excellent lineups for the music we like. Haven’t been in years but saw S&D, Daft Punk, Chems multiple times, Richie Hawtin, Breakbeat Era & Reprazent, Depeche Mode, Michael Mayer, countless others.

Seeing Air live with the sun setting over the mountains is great memory.

Smallman1

Lol, America really doesn’t know how to do festivals.

Movement aside that is of course.

Speaking as a Metallica-fan Lollapalooza was probably over by the time Metallica headlined it in 1996.
