Set times (& artists) must have come out today: Link here  

Two Hobo headlinings is very nice. Who could the friends be on Friday night? Where are 3 Daft Monkeys anyway?

Meh, Mad Dog Mcrae clash with Blackbud.  

Anyway, something for everyone here IMO

Or indeed mid-afternoon Friday at the main Avalon Stage. It just have fond memories of last year with 3DM at that cafe

[Sipperana]

Excellent line-up - Blockheads, BSP and Babel are musts, and there's plenty else to tempt me to hang around Avalon quite a bit

Isn't Laura Marling meant to be playing the Avalon stage? Can't see her on the stage times

Laura Marling is for the Greenpeace Stage, which is nothing to do with the field of Avalon.  

[tootie]

The Junkyard Allstars sounds very interesting!

[fairfranco]

Hadn't seen anything about her playing and definately don't want to miss.

[krisskross]

No worries - it's a nice huge confusingly fun place with more stages than you can shake your proverbials at

TwistedReligion, I love your avatar! I've seen those before, they sell them in Aldi or somewhere like that don't they?

"I'd like to buy some disco biscuits please"

RSVP

Caught them on the Bandstand last year, haven't danced as much at all my previous Glastos.
Recorded they're not great, but live...

Hopefully Bon Iver will finish with enough time to catch this set, unlikely though I think

Nothing like dancing to a bit of bangra to start your late night entertainment

[timespeedsup]

Lovely place it was. Great music, friendly atmosphere, decent coffee - what more?  

Hands up who saw one of the Hobo sets there? I was down the front behind Hogga and friend Thursday night and the Hobos were well up for it. Turns out other efesters were at the back unable to get in, such was the alure of the headliners. & was the Friday all-stars set even better & even more packed I wonder? I was paying my dues to Subgiant elsewhere that night?

Blackbud dropped their Thursday night set so I was there for a nicely full Mad Dog set too. & they covered a Damien Dempsey song   which was so far up my street that my jaw did actually drop when I realised. Happy Days  

[MJMilz14]

Saw Mad Dog on thursday night, right down the front with a bunch of other Plymouthians.

Was great fun   

Though I still can't believe the very first band I saw at my very first Glastonbury was one that I can see a dozen or so times a year down at my local!

Oh to live in deepest SW - Loads of small acts like Mad Dog seem to be based round there.

Anyone at the opening set from Stornoway? The next Coldplay anyone?
