Yes.

Reflection of what I value and the festival's direction diverging. Not to sound glib but I feel sorry for kids going to Glasters who like guitar music nowadays. I'm old, ignore me, honestly. Its like asking a pterosaur their opinion on taxation policy.

This thread is impossibly grim.

hehe im the same. 20 years ago knew vast maj of the performers announced for late night area. Now im sat here chuckling cuz Ellis Dee is probably the best thing announced so far across any stage.

😄

He's clarified above in fairness. Agree with you that there isnt much socialising. If youre stuck at the tent putting kids to bed whilst others are out for the evening, prolly best to put the nut down too. Unlikely that peeps are standing around family camping boozing.

Enormo queues at the cafe next to Wicket. Nice indoor seating tho - v helpful for those with tiny ones. Lockups next door to cafe also. I was really pro-Cockmill back in the day but with William's Green's demise the area isnt quite so attractive anymore.

- Wicket has lots of room. You'll have no issue arriving on the Wednesday. - Toilets are well maintained and respected. - Vibe is good. People watch out for each other. Not sure about the level of cooperation you suggest above however. Would really doubt you're gonna get people to look after each others kids.

Toyah and Robert will be fun in there. Sign me up.

Bootlegs headlining is equiv of putting Beans in the Avalon or Fatboy on the Other. Its lazy.

Do explain.

Think it might even out actually. I'm a doom-monger usually (vet of 97/05/07/16).

I find the need to temper people's honest disappointment even more tedious.

Was the quality of the sound in 2017 technical, atmospheric or a heavenly concoction of both? Amongst the purist, juiciest sounding live shows ive experienced anywhere. Cant just have been the PA.

Paranoid London/Marc Ribbilet/Flying Mohito Brothers (of course may all be added - preferably on Sat evening) Yousef Dayes and Michael Rother (think its wild theyve not booked either) Ohsees/Underworld/Smile/Patti/Weller/Khruangbin (would have hugely improved mid-card and could have headlined Woodsies/Park) Anything from the Cross The Tracks or Wide Awake line ups (where i've not spotted an overlap apologies but was so keen to see Neal Francis this year on the farm) Truthfully tho, can't get my head round Springsteen not playing, given his proximity that weekend and his presence in 2022.
