It’s the time of year when students, middle class Islington types and eco warriors decent to The Glastonbury festival. I’ve never been and have no intention of ever doing so. For me, a long weekend of camping in a muddy field is enough reason not to go. I’ve been to the Reading Festival before, and that’s my festival quota done.
Fridays headliners at Glastonbury are U2 and on the Saturday its U2 wannabe’s Coldplay. If you’re going then I would stay away from the main stage. Instead of Coldplay go and see Queens of the Stone Age on the other stage.
Though the line up might not be the best, I saw an advert for a festival in a music magazine that has the worst line up ever.
It’s the Cornbury Festival in Oxfordshire. By the name I already know that it’s a Pimms and sushi rather than cider and Pot Noodle kind of festival.
That is confirmed by the headliner on the Friday - James Blunt. I really cannot stand James fucking Blunt.
Saturdays headline is Ray Davies, as long as he only plays the songs that he wrote in the sixties with The Kinks that might be okay.
Sunday is Status Quo, who are a contender for the worst band ever.
Also playing is Cyndi Lauper who as far as I know hasn’t done anything since the mid eighties.
Eliza Doolittle, I guess that’s meant to be something for the kids.
The Faces, without Rod Stewart or of course Ronnie Layne.
Sophie Ellis Bextor, who was big for about six months sometime in the late nineties. And various others has beens and never heard of’s.
I'm just saying that this must be the worst line up ever.
Looking around the other festival line-ups the two that appeal to me are the End of the Road Festival and Latitude Festival. I would go to one of them, that’s if I didn’t have to sleep in a tent for the weekend and I could have a guarantee that it won’t piss down with rain.
No its not that I can’t hack it. I’m not scared of a bit of rain and mud. I work outside in whatever weather gets thrown at me. But I do that for work not pleasure. Plus I don’t go back home to a tent.
