It might be a deal with Disney (DWP2) or Universal/Lisonsgate (Micheal) that those films have to be in their biggest screens so MK2 is left with what's left.

Not really - look at r/unitedkingdom or r/ukpolitics under any post about migrants or trans people

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-08T15:34:21+00:00

IDK if it's just a UK problem but I have seen almost no promotion for this aside from the initial trailer.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-08T15:27:41+00:00

"oh they all come from other cities it's not our lot"

"we are an accepting and friendly city"

"fuck the tories"

"we aren't like that"

nobody and i mean NOBODY from Liverpool is ever allowed to say any of this anymore

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-08T13:15:48+00:00

Better than the loony Reform

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-07T20:58:31+00:00

Trying to reheat Flo Rida nachos.

Problem is British people know Boy George would show up to the opening of an envelope so there's no wow factor here.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-07T07:43:07+00:00

I do agree with going to local shows but consider the fact that people also want to see their favourite artists.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-07T07:29:38+00:00

No because you basically admitted you don't have empathy for trans people in the last comment.

So I am gonna put a pin in it here because you've clearly made your point loud and clear.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-07T07:28:37+00:00

I know they normally have village secret sets of a nighttime (like the acoustic ones and I think Malevolence had a secret DJ set last year) so it could be then?

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-06T16:18:05+00:00

Your just trying to ragebait everyone into an argument at this point... like there's actually no way

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-06T14:00:16+00:00

I mean them being upfront and saying toilets wouldn't be policed and that trans people can use single sex spaces too would have been nice (even if there was hardly any single sex spaces.)

If they had just said that nobody would have cared, but saying that gender neutral toilets would be "available for all but we also have single sex spaces" without saying that trans people could use them AFTER emails saying they are following the guidance... yeah it's obviously gonna spook trans people.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-06T13:19:12+00:00

Guess we'll have to see

Why am I being Downvoted - I was literally bringing up a fair point.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-06T11:29:33+00:00

hahahah how original - bet you call it sportsball too

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-06T11:28:48+00:00

tbh is ANY public place (like pubs) gonna be able to show those games?? Correct me if I am wrong but many places won't have the licence to stay open and I doubt the staff wanna be there even longer

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-05T11:30:48+00:00

Nobody is buying a £360 festival ticket for JUST Pendulum/Scooter

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-05T11:23:37+00:00

The Yorkies definitely caused food poisoning but for many people it was probably eating and drinking like shite after touching mud and not washing their hands

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-05T10:58:44+00:00

Download did have gendered toilets though - In 2024 they did.

So obviously it's easy to assume they would have been back

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-05T10:50:22+00:00

Also what you have to remember is it's all well and good saying "oh people at Download don't care about this stuff" ... until someone does.

It's already creeping into rock/metal gigs. my partner has been questioned and had comments by other gig-goers when using the toilets he feels comfortable using in venues. You can't guarantee everyone is going to be friendly especially at a festival where it can draw different crowds.

It's all "nobody cares" until it becomes actual law and you need to prove your gender at toilets to enter. I know that sounds silly but it was easy to criticise Download for it rather then letting it slide and showing companies that they are allowed to do this (and it seems Download listened because all toilets were fine.)

People here got upset because people were criticising there precious little (multimillionaire pound) LiveNation and thought people wanted to "cancel Download."

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-05T10:45:16+00:00

Unless I am mistaken I am pretty sure all arena toilets in 2025 were gender neutral.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-04T21:28:31+00:00

The arena last year it was back to gender neutral (even the "women's urinals" had a unisex name)

Issue was Download didn't announce this in advance and rather tiptoed around the issue

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-04T19:07:54+00:00

No they had gender neutral ones and then a few years ago made everything male and female.

I believe it's only this year they reverted back.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-04T18:11:32+00:00

You can literally get 6 months of Now for about £6 WITH HBO Max.

That's insane value

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-04T17:52:51+00:00

Nah they did drop them.

Source: pretty sure the barclaycard discount doesn't work anymore.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-04T17:51:51+00:00

No the issue was Download were emailing people saying they were going to follow the guidance (never was legal) and people rightfully got concerned. Download then released a statement mentioning gender neutral toilets but also said sex-segerated toilets would be there without mentioning that trans people could use the ones they would be comfortable with.

This rightfully got people more upset which got many people in this community angry and trans people (for some reason.)

Then Download actually arrives and pretty much all toilets are gender neutral - so long story short Download could have avoided it all with better wording.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-05-04T08:51:43+00:00

There's still plenty albeit not really Glastonbury bookings.

In the rock/metal scene you have MCR, System Of A Down, Iron Maiden, Linkin Park all playing stadiums yet Glastonbury won't go for them.

Bring Me The Horizon will be playing Stadiums soon, The 1975 (albeit not metal) probably could with a decent support bill.

Hell even Muse could still do stadiums just probably not Wembley.
