Can't see them publishing the map until Arcadia drops, unless they keep the map sufficiently vague for Arcadia (i.e. just a dot). I'm half expecting a return of the spider again, but we'll see.

I'm half tempted to cancel WV and book this instead as my tent is way better than those 2 man scout sweat boxes. Problem is my other half isn't coming til Friday so the convenience of having a tent ready on arrival is difficult to pass on as erecting a tent without help is a ball ache.

Agreed. I've always wanted to do Luminosity and it always clashes with Glasto! The day I don't get Glasto tickets I'm going!

We always sit in the Arcadia field, plenty of space and a good vantage point.

Yeah I'm sure I stumbled across some psy Trance in the Glade one year but was only passing through and didn't hang around, I didn't realise it was a regular thing. Unfortunately DnB doesn't do it for me and it's all I seem to hear as I wander around the various areas.

I've been going to Glasto since 2014 and noticed that there is never any Trance represented (or very little as far as I can tell anyway, but admittedly I may not recognise the names of up and coming artists). Having grown up in that late 90s early 2000s golden era and attending Godskitchen/Gatecrasher etc I've always hoped that one of the areas would cater for some Trance. Was it ever represented and do we think it ever will be? Surely a good old classics set would go down a treat in somewhere like Glade dome or maybe Lonely Hearts Club.

Justice/The National

It will, but a shame they clash with the national as I want to see both. I'll likely go for justice for the absolute party it will be but I will be a little sad to miss out on the national.

Get out of here with your facts, we need 300 pages of speculation and theories to decide if it's going to be muddy or not.

The monorail is now fully operational

They regularly come back up for sale, just keep an eye and hopefully you will get one (for example, I got a 2 man scout something like 3 weeks before the festival gates opened)

This is what I am looking for, being an old trance head myself. I kind of fell off the scene for years and now don't know who the up and coming artists are. Been listening to anjunadeep stuff for a few years now and loving it, I really hope to see some names I recognise on Silver Hayes or other areas this year. Drum n Bass doesn't do it for me. Every time I take a wonder it seems like everywhere is playing it apart from the Glade, so it's a shame if that's the direction the Glade has gone.

Now I have tickets I can get excited, NFR NFC 🤘

He was on when guns n roses were on as all my mates went to that instead. He was brilliant, perfect time of day too with sun setting.

Ben was a highlight of the weekend, was hoping to see him on the bill again this year but he's out in America at that time, although he does have the Glasto weekend free so who knows.

They were fantastic in 2016, I'd definately watch them again unless there was something significant happening elsewhere (I need to get a ticket first). They get a lot of bad press on here but there is no denying they put on a great show.

It is but slightly underwhelming compared to Pangea or even the spider. Struggle to see how they will utilise it to make use of the space. Has a Genosys bus vibe about it.

If it's a 2 man scout you want you'll get one. I got one in 2022 about 2 weeks before the festival. They come back on sale regularly, just keep checking back.

A lot of those costs come with running CV fields too, and you get a bigger patch of land there compared to what you get at WV. Hiring tents, showers, toilets etc I get but still seems a bit steep compared to CV. I've stayed at WV twice and loved it but not sure the cost is justified for a 2 man tent you couldn't swing a cat in and that you boil alive in if it's warm with no means of ventilating with windows etc.

The prices are getting a bit ridiculous now. Why is it so expensive when a campervan ticket is 200 quid and you get way more real estate than you do with a 2 man scout tent? I'd have thought the land would be the cost driver but it must be very expensive for them to hire the tents, or they are just ripping us off at this point.

Did you happen to take a screenshot showing it saying your registration was allocated? If so and it was indeed a glitch it would be worth challenging it with them.

As I said in a later post it's a hunch. I seriously doubt that many tickets went to people who understand the tech side of the system. If it was that simple to understand then everyone on here would know how it all works and we'd all have tickets. Clearly there are flaws in the system but I would guess that very very few know how to exploit it.

It may be, but most people wouldn't even think of trying to understand it because they would assume it is too complicated so they will inevitably go to getting helpers as a default.

It does a bit, but organising friends to try for you is more within everyone's ability than understanding the tech behind how the system works and how to use that to your advantage.

No source other than a hunch. I don't think having big groups trying is gaming the system, it's more when people are IT savvy and can figure out back door links and all that stuff I don't understand!
