    Weather v Line up

    With the hat designs evolving, it can't be too long before you're able to incorporate rotor blades and fly around the site?

    Weather v Line up

    If you've got good kit, the weather is much less of an issue. That said, being able to get from one side of the site to another in half the time of a wet year...
  4. For me, the line-up has probably 15-20 acts I want to see. Annoyingly, I have tickets to see 1/3 of those already at own shows and there's a fair cross-over with EOTR which I'm doing for the first time. Thinking pay off the deposit and review on the last day for cancellation/refund if the additions haven't swung it. I'd normally not even consider it but none of the rest of my usual group have tickets, and the one mate who did has decided to put his back in.
  5. Glasto aren't paying a million for a second stage headliner. More chance of PJ apologising for doubling their prices than that happening.
  6. Idles should draw a decent crowd. Fontaines may pull a few thousand away from them. There will be a good chunk of folks making the Pyramid to Other stumble for LCD into Idles.
  7. Interesting that they've basically given us the lineup for people at home watching on TV. No Acoustic, Dance Village, Avalon etc.
  8. Congratulations! It'll be the last place you want to be when it's 30 degrees plus and sunny all day. My preparation was attending the Hold Steady's London weekender. Three shows in 3 nights, a lot of drinking and a lack of sleep, got home yesterday and am still dying on the sofa. I am not currently anywhere close to match fitness!
  9. I thought the same but regarding Bristol, until I remembered it's a completely different show later in the year. The band are great, but the shows that are just him and Steve (the keyboard player) are (IMO) far better as they don't feel obliged to play too many of the "hits".
  10. Perhaps they have the ability to reduce the size of space used, move the stage down the arena? We'll know soon enough when the seating plan comes out I guess.
  11. Glad I'm not the only bad fan out there! Have a Glastonbury ticket, but have had two annual hospital appointments come through for the Glastonbury Friday. If I can't change those, then the G ticket goes back and I'll be looking to do some of those UK National shows on cheap tix.
  12. This is the thing with Glasto, someone can play a 60,000 capacity show in London and we're all like, nope, not big enough to headline. 🤣 If she announces the rest of her tour and it's Stevie Sings Fleetwood Mac, rather than the usual mix, that'd absolutely be enough for 90 mins on the pointy one on a Sunday night. The day crowd would eat that up.
  13. These (250) are numbers you're more likely to see from Americans than over here. For some reason our bands seem to be more rigid and always play exactly the same set every night. A lot of US acts either don't work with a setlist or make sure to change a good portion of the show from one night to the next. Get a band that tours often and live in the right place, you could have 10-15 dates that are easily driveable within a couple of hours each year.
  14. Mike Peters? He's supporting them on a bunch of dates this year!
  15. I really thought they'd have got booked for one of the Eden Sessions, either this year or last.
