Do we reckon it's more difficult for Capaldi because of his overweight downs aesthetic? You'd think he would just take advantage and bag bishes all over and be able to jizz over his physical defects but I guess he probably still gets treated as the freak in private events and in the industry.
To be fair, 'fisherthem' is quite good, and more reasonable than 'fisher'.
He was living a Stewart Lee dream, but instead of playing to an entirely sold out, but empty theatre, he was doing little ticks and getting the crowd to sing his songs for him.
Great ad for his documentary.

This genuinely is Vic Reeves-like. I remember him sounding like this when they had the 2012 Jubilee bash, and people put it down to some temporary health issues.
Leftfield and Fatboy Slim were a fun catchupearlier today but this has put me off the entire event this year.
I've never really got the fuss about Elton John. He has a few catchy songs but... meh. He's basically just the original Gary Barlow.
If someone wasn't familiar with his songs I wonder if they could work out a single word he's singing.
I definitely can't.
And now he's just getting other randoms on to fill out the set.
I'm sure Elton loves this guy for his voice and song writing talent.

'Goodbye...'
*deep breath*
'...Norma Jeane...'
*breathe out*
I think Brandon Flowers just escaped Madame Tussauds.
It has to be something truly special to bother with the Pyramid stage for a headliner. The sound is usually crap and entering a crowd of 100k people is a big time commitment.
Its actually quite nice when the main stages all have meh headliners cause it means you can start the night earlier when the dance crowds are always so much better as its full of people who genuinely want to be there.
I'm genuinely gobsmacked to see him standing for a song.
Then he sits down for this one
Am dil danding.
Josh Homme has still got it.
QOTSA were fucking electric.
That Elton set was like listening to your own death. The only good headliner they've had for 10+ years was Stormzy.
I saw QOTSA at Cardiff Castle on Friday. They've still got it. That Glasto set was fierce.
I saw Arctic Monkeys tonight and they were fantastic. A slightly better setlist and a good crowd makes a world of difference.
QOTSA headlining the Other Stage in 2013 when they went up against Beyonce was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Sounds like a similar deal this year.
I don't think I've ever been blown away at the Pyramid. It's just way too big and full of camping chair wankers to get any sort of atmosphere going. And probably the acts never stray far enough from radio 1 territory. The best you can hope for it a massive singalong to a song everyone knows.
I've only seen pictures, but those massive flags should be banned.... I imagine half the folks can't even see the acts on stage.
I think half the reason for all the fossils being headliners is that we live in a pretty superstarless era. Who could they headline with that's current? Stormzy, Adele and Ed Sheeran are the only superstars out there at the moment really. Fast forward 10 - 15 years and they're really going to struggle.
It's mostly the money on offer imo. Glasto don't pay anywhere near what a lot of the more corporate festivals do, so they rely on their reputation or bands ultimately giving in a bit. GnR would have been a great headliner any time over the span of about two decades, but still they only turn up when they're well past it. Americans don't tend to understand the allure until they've been around the block a few times so there's no chance they'll pay for bobbins when they're fresh on the scene.
That is mostly just the industry being really corporate and safe, same as the film industry.
I'm thinking the only band that give a proper headliner spectacle is someone truly daft like Rammstein.
2011 – was there too. I remember Josh pretending all the fireworks were for him. I rhink they thrive on being the underdogs or also-rans, knowing they're going up against the biggest draw of the weekend. Fun Machine that night was enormous.
Shame the lead singer is a bit rapey*
*Allegedly, only joking etc.
Yeah but did they do a Destiny's Child medley?
This. I remember they played Leeds main stage and were ridiculously put as third on the bill behind The Killers who had one album. Josh came on and absolutely destroyed it, finished on an improvised guitar solo going on for ages. Brandon Flowers came on to mumble his way through their set, atmosphere instantly deflated.
Got tickets for the QOTSA Glasgow date
I was there for that as well. Great stuff, especially considering he was bladdered too. Joey Castillo was a monster on the drums.This.

I was looking at them last night but standing looks like it's sold out and it appears to be Ł85 for a seated ticket? Might see you there anyway.This.

+1 for QOTSA set appreciation, those are the scenes I was craving.
Qotsa are paying in Frankfurt in November. Might have to get on it.
Do they play their cover of Christian Brothers live?
I'm a twit
Aye, it wouldn't shock me but some of the accusations sound a little flimsy.
Get a load of the Ezra Collective glasto set. Still up on iplayer.
My mate got through for Glasto tix with seconds to spare before the big SOLD OUT. We're back, baby.
Anyone else lucky?
Fuck all here. :seething:
I was resigned to not getting them even before the sale, but fuck it, if God wants it, he wants it.
Gimme a shout if you try in the resale.
Nothing too surprising but more than enough stuff to get me there again. Jai Paul, Gibbs/Madlib Pinata anniversary, etc.
Nothing too surprising? Clipse are back ffs. Apparently its "their only European show", but hopefully there's more to come. These festivals always announce dodgy shit, so the fact they haven't specified 2024 or summer makes me think its their only European show of May.
I feel like a Clipse reunion has been rumoured for so long that it didn't actually stand out to me as something special. I just went "ah that's a cool booking".
Why have neither of you said it’s kinda like a big deal.
