So who have been the winners and losers of this summer?
Florence seems to have become a festival whore, showing up in every field with a stage this summer and at Glastonbury they couldn't seem to get rid of her as she appeared 3 times. Now I do like Flo but does she have to collaborate with everyone! I wound't be surprised to see her on stage with Axel Rose the way things are going come the end of August.
Gorillaz bottled it at Glastonbury! I'm sorry but they did, they were never good enough to headline in the first place, and despite having some great tunes they are not a headline act yet. Has anyone even heard their latest album?
Muse did their standard set at T and Glasto, Same old same old but with less laser's. A little disappointing. Although The Edge did rescue them at Worthy Farm.
Kasabian finally stepped up to the headline stage at T and didn't disappoint. LSF in front of a Scottish crowd is always gonna create a "moment" and the Leicester boys didn't disappoint.
Mummford and Sons seem like festival veterans, packing out tents across the country every weekend and making folk music the most exciting genre around at the moment. Getting thousands of drunk twenty somethings to sing along with a banjo is a good effort.
At Isle Of Wight Macca does what he does best and despite being almost a thousand years old he still knows how to delight a crowd. Possibly the best headliner on the planet?
Blondie was pretty tragic and despite still being pretty fucking cool she cant sing, shame but give it up Debbie.
So whats left to come? Florence headlines Lattitude this weekend and Dizzee and Roxy Music play Lovebox in Victoria Park. Kings of Leon will be back at V and then the return of the likely lads at Reading as Pete and Carl give it another go.
What A Summer of Music!
