Somewhat downbeat Festivals round-up: Live Earth backlash, T in the Park spirits predictably undampened
- Is it just me, or does the tide seem to have turned against Live Earth somewhat? The Rio event was cancelled… then un-cancelled, amongst claims that it has been under-promoted
- Meanwhile Forbes is the latest publication to do the whole “Just How Green Is Live Earth?” thing… and Arctic Monkeys admit that their absence from the bill is because they would see their participation as hypocritical given their shows’ production requirements. Unlike Madonna, presumably…
- And to top it all off, the New York event isn’t even bloody in New York!
- T in the Park looks like getting off to a wet start, but guess what? It won’t dampen anyone’s spirits (I swear that is the 382nd time I’ve seen that cliche used in the last month). Police at the event are appealing to cokeheads to spurn their nose candy for ethical - as opposed to legal - reasons. Good luck with that, rozzers
- As we mentioned yesterday, Fflam has been postponed; now the organisers are indulging in a touch of damage limitation as they try and find new dates for the three-day event
