smug, boring, gruff.

DiScuss?


agree, agree,

the national are one of the best live bands around.


Didn't say they weren't

they're a great band.


Guillemots and Lightspeed Champion

aren't to be sniffed at for a supporting cast either


definitely

shame it clashes with Roskilde otherwise i'd be there.

2for1 tickets with o2 as well, so £20 for those 3 = superb value


Ditto

I would've been there like a shot for Moz alone, if it weren't for the fact I'm already off to Roskilde.


the best £20

i've ever spent. all those bands for the price of a meal = no brainer!


I say...

...they should scrap the last day and put Delays and The Hold Steady on one of the first two days. The Sunday is one of the worst festival line ups I have ever seen.


We gonna rock down to

Electric Avenue!


well...

the lord rested on the seventh day, and it looks like we now have the perfect excuse to stay home and do the same on that Sunday.


Yeah

The Sunday line-up does look woeful


anyone who thinks the 4th is not the best line up

is a tool undeserving of even the slightest passing touch from a loved one.
Its Morrissey and New York Dolls for fucks sake. Jay-Z and Hot Chip? Wow. Big deal.


Counting Crows...

...best band at the festival.
