I'm at my mate Dub Bri's birthday party that night, and my mate Wal is DJing with his One Love sound system. I'll very likely enjoy is Saturday. Not as much as Rob though, obviously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 stormzy confirmed as the friday night glastonbury headliner will no doubt draw in the yoof and i'll be honest and say i dont get him but appreciate a lot of people will but my main point would be headliner on the main stage? thats mental, he's realeased 1 album (which sold 129k copies) no doubt he's got something out next year but has anyone ever headlined a major festival with that little material to play?

GarethRDR Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Taking the missus to see Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra on Saturday. Should be... interesting. Gotta admit I've no particular interest in the type of the jazz they'll be belting out but hopefully it'll be a larf. If not, we're spending the morning at a Japanese food festival so at the very least I plan to be shit-faced on sake by lunchtime and will just ride that out for the rest of the day.

Seat68 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 help me out here, even glastonbury headliners I dont like, I know a few songs. I have heard one Stormzy song, a slow one, is that the same for most people, or does he have songs a lot of people know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know more than I, he's got one of those names I instantly dislike, it resonates in my head with a DJ like Jo Wiley talking about being backstage at a Stomzy gig and to prevent me throwing up instantly, my brain switches off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just booked Buckcherry, Hoobastank and Adelita's way next Feb for £25, a bargain indeed. I must say,these kids are talented, the people there tonight ranged in age from 16 to 65, very odd. There was even a mosh pit, which was a shame really as my stepdaughter said there were women on guys shoulders flashing their tits in London, much preferable Off to see "Surf's UP" a Beach Boys tribute (apparently a very good one) doing the Sunflower LP, saturday night at Huntingdon Hall, Worcester.

I know little of greta van fleet other than they were trending on twitter a few weeks back as someone, assuming pitchfork, gave them a ridiculously harsh review.

They seem to be very Marmite, a lot of older types don't like 'em because they sound a bit like Zeppelin. Personally I think that's great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Randomly, I saw Stormzy at Glastonbury last year. He's also fairly local to home and did his album launch at the Croydon Boxpark. He got good crowds at both and actually he's quite right on and didn't act like Billy Big Bollocks, which may have helped his cause? tbh I find a lot of what the kids are listening to less offensive than what some of my friends listen to.

Popular Post bickster Posted November 23, 2018 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2018 A rather last minute Mogwai gig at the Olympia Ballroom in Liverpool. The best medium sized venue in the city imo, reminds me of the Royal Court in Liverpool. It’s an old decaying Theatre so makes a great concert venue. The band were at times terrifying (in a good way). First time I’d seen them and they didn’t disappoint. I rarely buy gig T-shirt’s but tonight was an exception 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
