Pulp is a new shout from the odds I've seen, but I could definitely see it. Would definitely prefer them to Harry Styles or Sam Fender, who appear to be the frontrunners. Nothing against either but I just don't they've got the songs to carry the slot.
I think a lot of that is because a significant chunk of Glastonbury attendees are people who have not been listening to new music much in the last couple decades.
Well if Clarkson said it...
Are Aerosmith old enough yet?
Tyler is 75, I think he is just old enough
They're starting (or have started?) a farewell tour this year so clock's ticking if they're going to play the festival.
Ye seems the average age of a Glasto attendee has gone up a lot in recent times, maybe this is due to the expensive ticket prices nowadays?
Sure you're not just looking at the Headline/Legends tab on iPlayer?
Not sure what the prices were 20 years ago, but even now they’re a bargain really.
OK £350 is expensive , but when you consider what you get , its not really.
I've been checking stuff on all the tabs on iPlayer - Fatboy Slim, Leftfield are under Dance for a start
It's a bloody cheap get away if you ask me, add to the fact you get all that free music and everything else I don't get the hate tbh, well I do it's the old times change thing but whatever.
It's because they still put a lot of the new stuff to shame, they've all aged well from the 90's dance scene.
So according to this I paid £83 in 1999 (and yes i did actually pay unlike many others!) so we are talking about 400% inflation.
Wow a real blast from the past! How long have you been back around these parts ?!
I can see where you are coming from , 400% is a huge leap.So according to this I paid £83 in 1999 (and yes i did actually pay unlike many others!) so we are talking about 400% inflation.
I do get that many things will have improved since then but still seems a huge increase and I wonder how many students nowadays can afford it.
Gig tickets in general do seem to have gone up more than comparable stuff - for example I doubt tickets at Old Trafford have even doubled in the same time frame.
Also it's often quite different seeing a band on their own tour Vs at festival where they generally do shorter sets so not necessarily comparing like with like.
Cheapest seats at Old Trafford are £30 nowadays (limited amount though) with many in the £40-50 range
Not that long really, sporadic poster these days, music topics always peek my interest though.
and you know who anyway, the 90's were just so good for dance music and it all stands up today.Is £30 obstructed view?
No - just lower stands, behind the goals
They were getting guff due tomlack of diversity this year so you might be on to something here
I'm rarely out the United Forum nowadays but had been watching a fair bit of Glasto so ventured hereNot that long really, sporadic poster these days, music topics always peek my interest though.
TBF I wasn't really including Norman in that, I'm not listing the others though I'd be here all day
Where did you see orbital? Saw them at the Hammersmith Apollo back in April.
They were all so good at that time, saw the Chems in '97 in the dance tent at V, top gig, the best thing was at that time was less medleys of the oldies, the tunes got played out in full as that was all they had
Coldplay and Muse in teeny tiny font.So according to this I paid £83 in 1999 (and yes i did actually pay unlike many others!) so we are talking about 400% inflation.

Also Doves.
The fact you can bring alcohol in and take it around makes it much cheaper in there than other festivals. At night time I’d take around 500 ml of vodka and buy diet cokes. Literally spent max 10 quid a night.
Dont think I saw them, not my thing anyway
Definitely saw them, as a Manc band they were on my radar
My claim to fame is seeing Oasis play in a tiny venue in Dublin in 1994, with about 400 other people. Including, weirdly, Evan Dando from the Lemonheads.
His voice is completely shot.
Nah, it’s just far bigger with lots more stages than it was even 20 years ago. There’s also 60,000 more people attending than 20 years ago and they need far more acts to fill all of the stages.
Yeah, much bigger and almost complete demographic change since the 90’s. I noticed the huge increase in attendance I think the year JayZ headlined. It was huge that year and I don’t think it’s shrunk none since, probably bigger if owt.
And that's where they should stay.
