Rodrigo y Gabriela got to be a good shout for Acoustic tent. playing Bristol on 23rd June

Only saying what he said to me. Not sure why he said it unless he thought it was likely to happen.

He said he didn’t like woodsies anyway. (I reckon they would be great in there) but was obviously a daytime slot they had been offered coz he said no one wants their music staring into the sun. He said they wouldn’t expect headline slot at glastonbury like primavera, but obviously wanted more than they were offered.

Just saw them at same place today. Can confirm they are deffo not playing Glasto this year. Sounds like booking agent offered them a crap slot. certainly will play again in future. In his words ‘it’s the best place on earth’ sounds like they will be headlining Primavera this year. top fella, had loads of time just to chat to people and have photos etc!!

Contrary to belief in these parts, the 'mythical' cheese winners do actually exist. Girl I know who missed out in the sale, has a shelf of Worthy Farm Reserve Cheddar cheese plus 2 golden tickets. She shouted about it plenty on FB when she won on the 14th, but she's not someone who frequents these pages.

Trying to find a positive in this whole fiasco. At least when I fail in a couple of weeks time, I will have 2 weeks less to wait until the resale.

Agreed. Sorry I missed him from my list of credits. Like the grumpy old guy who sits in the same seat in the pub every day moaning about everything. New people to the pub think he is a pain, but regulars love him and the place wouldn't be the same without him.

Just wanted to add my thanks as well to all those knowledgeable souls who have translated charts and lines into understandable language for us mere mortals, as we have followed the journey of the last 225 pages. In particular @Sheffield Steve for keeping our feet on the ground with a more pessimistic view, and of course our cult hero @briddj. The dedication of providing such in depth reports after each run has been outstanding. We saw what happened to the forecast when you took a night off, so I think we can thank you for the great weather it looks like we are set for now. Special thoughts to @FuzzyDunlop . We know that its not the forecast that you were hoping for, but hope that you still manage to have a great time. You took some pretty aggressive 'feedback' from some of the posters, but took it all with good grace and that Glastonbury spirit that many people only manage to have for 5 days a year. Wishing all of you heading off soon safe travels, an amazing festival and I am sure we will all be back for the rollercoaster and knife edges of the 2024 Weather thread

Not a knife edge in sight !!!!

In the past they have had an allocated camping field for cyclists. Wonder if they could do something similar somewhere near Gate A for Thursday coach arrivals that they don't open until Thursday? Would mean you still have a fighting chance of getting a pitch.

Yes I have done it twice and got on a later coach. Was half empty as lots of people dont take the return coach. (Only a coach to Taunton though so might be very different for those hardcore souls coming down from Edinburgh, unlikely to be as many empty spots on those ones)

General admission this year, so won’t need your great hospitality of the parking place! can’t wait!!

Sitting up on the hill on Wednesday evening watching the sun set (hopefully) and feeling that buzz of positivity as you are surrounded by smiling faces knowing that you have 5 nights of fun ahead and can forget about the real world till Monday!

I was one of those lucky ones in 2014 and bagged tix for friends that way, but I had a page tracker that was tracking the seetickets site every 10 seconds from the day after the initial resale. Happened to be in work when it went ping. By the time I completed purchase was gone again.

Used to be that they would just pop up on glastonbury.seetickets.com randomly in mid / late May, and be gone 2 mins later. They havent done them for probably the last 6 or 7 years now though so reckon your chances are negligable.
