Lindz & I only went for the Sunday, hugging the barrier all day.......and kept getting soaked by the security people (they didn't think we'd last all day at the barrier. How wrong they were!).

Exactly. Angry me.

I've only been going since 2000, but in that time they've never done a good Glastonbury set. They usually go down like a lead balloon. I've seen them at V and Reading, and they were vastly superior (and went down as such) at both.

I guess you're right. And being my first time (both at Glasto and at a Manics set), well maybe I'd deserve something more. I'm kinda torn: I'd love to see the guys there because I won't be able to afford anything for a while after Glasto and so I'm like ''Hey, shitty gig is better than no gig...'', but I also know that I'd be very disappointed even if it's not their fault
Thing is: I really don't know what to hope for.

What stage are they likely to play at Oxegen?

In 08 and 09 they headlined the Heineken Green Sphere's Tent. They haven't really gotten any bigger since then, so yeah, I would say they'll headline it again on Sunday.

Back in 03, when this was known as Witnness, they headlined what I *think* was the second stage.
