Haha, normally just 1 = deffo, 2 = maybe, 3 = they're at victorious so don't need to see (saves me having to cross-reference multiple clashfinders at the fest). Then I import my husband's clashfinder highlights, which are usually 1 = deffo, 2 = probably, 3 = maybe, so I end up with a 6 colour system.

I'm also really cool, so I use a spreadsheet to note down my ratings (must-sees, nice-to-sees and can see at a less clashy festival so don't prioritise seeing at glasto), then put them in the clashfinder once halvin's got all the timings in there.

I think 1 of the arguments for switching the fallow year from 2011 to 2012 was that the Olympics would need a f**k-ton of portaloos, so they must've still been used at glasto then

Yes, I got some fairly last minute tickets for a couple of things at the Olympics because people who got them in the ballot didn't actually want them so they went on general sale. Loads of people applied for events they weren't really interested in because it was a lottery system.

The problem with the lottery idea is that people who aren't really bothered and who register on a whim will have just as much chance as those who normally put in the effort for the sale. It's like the London marathon, you get keen runners applying and failing year on year, and someone who's never run before (and won't bother training and might not even turn up) ends up getting in.

Ah, come on now. He said "women" rather than "females", that seems to be good progress for this person 😂

That's not how the glasto sale works, but if you're already registered good luck in the resale 🤞

I think the barbour 1 was tickets + an upcycled jacket in colab with Oxfam or something, rather than just a barbour thing

Is it still peacocktails in Latino? They're the same company as cockatoo so mostly have the same cocktails

Is "keep your beady eye on us" a clue? Liam Gallagher to launch his new career as a stand-up, headlining the cabaret tent? 😂

They'll look at the photos of the people who haven't paid their balance yet to decide if they should drop Avalon or SH 😂

Far-right Said Fred. As a female, I agree. I have ovaries and no musical talent, so why are girls being booked? Glasto was better when it was a wall-to-wall sausage fest.

Yeah, for balance

More room for me and my picnic blanket down the front of the pyramid then. Don't know who anyone on the lineup is, but I'll film it all for my socials - got to get the likes

I think you can get notifications from the official app to remind you when something's on. I haven't used them, but could be easier than trying to read the set times

I reckon this will be used for the highlights compilation at the end.

Emily overlooked vampire weekend because she wanted more dIvErSiTy, or because they took the $$$ to be a festival exclusive at primavera?

People saying Pulp have no new music, but I don't think that's important for a "heritage" headliner. Nobody went to last year's Saturday headliner* hoping to hear some new tunes. I'm not saying Pulp should headline, but I think they could with the right balance of other headliners (ie don't put them, Blur and Radiohead on the same year). * I'm not naming them here because I don't want to summon a particular person to rant about them all over this thread.

Are you saying Little Simz and Burna Boy aren't different genres and are too samey?

I don't blame you for doubting me because I generally have a terrible memory! Most years at glasto I've just been with my OH, sometimes with 1-2 friends, but there were 7 of us in '07 which makes it easier for me to differentiate that year. There might've been some rain on the wed/thur but I don't think it was problematic until the fri. This was the cinema field on the Thurs night, and people are sat on the floor. My friends wanted to see Ghostbusters, and when I pointed out it was followed by Blues Brothers they had no idea what I was talking about. Philistines 😂

The 1 benefit 2007 had over 2016 was the wed and thur were dry so you could sit & chill. 2016 even if there was less rain during the festival, the ground was already f**ked before we got there. Also I was younger in '07 so could probably cope better 😂 Good weather (not too hot or wet) is more important than lineup IMHO.

Although me and the 3 other people who were at St Vincent a couple of years ago would probably be happy to see her back, I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't a big fan. Anyway, there's still loads to be announced.

Seen a few people claiming they're going to put their tickets back in the pot, maybe you should give the resale a try? Although watching it at home does make it easier to deal with the clashes 😂

Pretty sure that's always the case with the 1st poster
