I don't think Sonar would allow JW to play elsewhere in Barcelona. Think you are right with how they will approach this. There will be other cancelled bands we have no idea about. They might add not someone big but someone who has broken through recently.

Taste of things to come...

Thom Yorke will be there, could do a little feature during his set. /dream

The new Justice album is amazing. Can’t wait to see them close Mordor! 🔥

If anyone is looking for some inspiration the first photo is last years winner and some examples of other designs. Looks like they want something neat, on brand and not over complicated. Be careful to stick to 3 colours as well. I’d accidentally used 4 colours in some of my designs 🙈 Good luck to all trying 🍀😍🤞

Well I think Kylie is still a bit more relevant with her ongoing renaissance, and being an icon(once again) for younger generation queer people. And to me she is just more legend status than Fifty in general,but I guess that’s personal preference

Thank you! Now I know the full info.. the most exciting part is that they've got 5 family members coming, all 5 will be first timers who are obviously very excited... but for us it's amazing too as they'll be camping with us and I love nothing more than showing people around their first Glastonbury, just watching the amazement on their face. Can't wait.

late at night they very definitely fill a hole , not everyone is wanting the hugely busier SEC and similar , Iconic sing along anthems bring something different , lift those headphones and look at the smiles around you . they just bring such fun , a few hours after seeing more live bands is brilliant either that or im happy seeking a bar or 2 with some cheese playing .

Anyone on the lookout for inexpensive glamping, there is a new site by Gate D, run by Yurtel. It's a pitch your own tent but it has lots of glamping facilities with prices from £250.00. Plus you get a 5 metre by 5 metre pitch, so you can pitch more than one tent with a maximum of 5 people on for the pitch for the same price! There is more information here - https://holtfarm.co.uk/ Also see the discussion over in questions - https://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/253563-is-this-campsite-a-scam/ 😄

Good stuff 👍 Yeah same my friend jumped at it also. There is just 2 of us, a tent each so worked out 125 each - we are flying over then coach down. Haven't been in 7 years - can't wait 🙌

It seems there's a fair bit going on out of range of the webcam. West Holts started and The Temple is on its way up.

Flying Lotus announced for APE on the Saturday. Would be a great fit for Pukkelpop Sunday.

I WANT THE MAP!!!!!!! 😩

Yeah I am just about allowing myself to believe Twigs MIGHT turn up. I was a denier before but I'm coming round. Still prepared for disappointment but as we approach May I'm willing to be more naive.

Personally I think she's playing, and probably it will be a light set with a mix of old songs, Caprisongs and some new unreleased material. Also I think that she dropped from Mexico because she probably did not have her set ready by that time and it was her only date outside Europe so maybe did not make much sense. And also if she was cancelling all the concerts, why didnt she cancel it 1 or 2 months before? So in my books she's in for now. Specially after Kim Petras dropping I guess Primavera will push for her to not drop.

That’s the beauty of it though, sometimes simple is best. Especially with the tattoos as anything over complicated might not look great. Last year’s design is pretty simple but bang on brand. Using the colour blue would be a good start as that’s the colour Wateraid always uses blue in their posters and stuff. Let me know if you need a hand with anything

£100 for parking is a bit cheeky. But £350 overall is good. Guarantee it will be at least £500 next year. They have left it so late this year that most will already be sorted

Showing someone round for the first time is up there with one of the best things in life. It’s that feeling on handing knowledge down the line - I was taught most of what I know about the festival in exactly this way. Long walks with mates, them pointing things out to me…very fond memories. I was quite surprised when one of my friends turned up and had clearly scraped a lot of info from the internet about what to do/where to go and I felt a bit sad that it seems that most people want to swot up online and ‘tick off’ attractions. I think it removes the Glasto spirit because it’s a more insular thing to do and you’re less likely to want to interact with random people - something I’ve always made a point of doing with others. I digress - competition wise, no luck on the Vodafone app this morning after making my family members do it on their way to work (lol!) and no bloody tea. It’s been pointed out here but the shops do stock the brand, but I don’t know when they’ll put it out on the shelves with the right packaging? The Water Aid one seems good and I might give it a go but fingers and toes crossed for @BillieBobswho seems born for this!!

Oh we're going on a journey to space on Sunday 💫

nah, The Libertines and PS don't fit, as much as I like them. Acts like Libertines, Foals, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand and so on won't be booked (anymore) they are more of a FIB Benicassim vibe. Its just this specific brand of British Rock that PS avoids nowadays. PS USP is being the spearhead of European music scene. They won't book someone unless they are rising stars (in their respective scope), absolute legends of their field or have a flawless catalogue (2023 is an exception here bc of the expansion plans). Of course there is always a chance to put yourself back on their radar with a very good record, but you won't see someone like Libertines or - lets say - Noel Gallagher here, who are mostly administering their fame with solid but irrelevant-outside-their-fanbase albums.

They should put the libertines, the release a new record and there are a few rock bands this year

Yea me too. Think this deserves a thread of its own. We need to know why,what,where,how????

Not sure if this has been mentioned, Coop App has a prize draw for tickets running 22/4 to 5/5/24 This is a useful site for Glasto competitions: https://superlucky.me/how-to-win-glastonbury-tickets/

If the Mary wallopers are clashing with Paul Heaton I will be f**king raging.

It's a moot conversation for me as whoever the hell they book is going to clash with at least 2 other great acts, given it's the rammed Thursday!

This is the Core one which will be updated with everything once it all comes out. https://clashfinder.com/s/g2024

It's extremely unlikely that there will be any more WaterAid volunteering places with Glastonbury for anyone who did not apply in Jan/Feb. There were over 3,000 applications for 725 places, so any places that crop up between now and June will be taken up by that group of people. Some might have got lucky in the resale or found other volunteering spaces but most will be sat waiting and hoping.

I noticed that. I had to go back and clang it or it just didn't feel right. "If you long drop and there is no clang, did you even drop long?"

Money isn't all in one direction it would seem

Saturday lineup at the Glade Dome

Dua Lipa will bring out Elton John 😋

Rare night out … orbital in Exeter

I was literally doing the same. Daydreaming about where I would stop to have a twix.

Excellent! In 2017 we were passing back through the Unfair Ground late on Friday night when one of the “carney” girls ushered us over to her fair game. The game was to throw a crushed can into a tiny slot which surprisingly I managed to get it in (in my state). She quickly rummaged through a draw then pulled me over the counter and softly whispered in my ear “here’s your prize, it’s a cast of Michael Eavis’s asshole”

I mean, look at it!

It’s the new area of Shangri-La called Arrivals. Having a nice Sunday session exploring some of this stuff.

Kinda like Kylie Minogue
