    Don't think Glasgow Green was really equipped for having more than one big stage headliner the same way TITP was. I only got a Friday ticket for TRNSMT because I can't stand Kasabian, Catfish & The Bottlemen or Biffy Clyro, but there wasn't a big draw alternative on the same way TITP normally got pretty decent names for the other stage headliners if you didn't like the main headliner.

    I'm just looking through the most recent lineups and they've had the likes of Pixies, Tame Impala, Hot Chip on at the King Tuts tent and LCD Soundsystem, The Prodigy, Disclosure on the Radio 1 Stage.

    And obviously the opportunity to drink at your tent during any gaps in bands you liked rather than that £5 a pint pish.

    That's half the fun of it. Looks at the festivals that offer camping and you'll see the vast majority choose to camp over going home or to a hotel.

    If they do bring TITP back next year they'd be well placed to copy the Big Weekend/TRNSMT formula. Glasgow Green was better organised than any year I've been to Balado. Even down to the bar queues and clean toilets.

    There's a big difference in weather from Perth to Glasgow?

    Do you think the earth is flat by any chance? Maniac.

    I can understand where Yorke is coming from as far as artistic and musical direction goes. I understand that the people of Israel are not all representative of their government, just as people in the U.K. Are not representitivr of the Tories. But as he states, the band are not thick. So maybe he should look back to the African apartheid of the 80s when most music artists and sports stars protested their disapproval, and it helped highlight the injustice. We know Radiohead are a band that do most things differently from others and that is brilliant of them. But in this instance, I feel, they are wrong. I actually expected Radiohead to be a band that would be more vocal in opposition to injustice like this. But then I realise that is my perception of them. I used to buy Radiohead albums, cd singles and vinyl, not in a while, but like the band, I also have freedom of choice and I won't be buying any more merchandise.

    I see they have said TITP 2018 is unlikely.

    I don't get all this Rag N Bone man hype. I find him as dull as dishwater.

    The 1975 don't float my boat either.

    I'm clearly getting too old.

    I've been listening to a lot of American folk/rock type music lately. The White Buffalo, Shawn James etc...

    My wife comes in one day, "oh you have to listen to Rag n Bone man, you will love him"

    Sticks him on...

    I nearly divorced that *.

    He's just another guy the media have jumped on the bandwagon with. A few stations keep punting him badly.

    He's doesn't merit it and his stripped back tracks just seem empty.
