My thoughts exactly what a waste! But then again there are no 'vague hopes' are there haha

If anyone in Frome would like to take a picture of the Cheese and Grain today? I want to see my chances of breaking in.

Glastonbury sure have set a precedent. If they're going to be this extravagant for Ed and for future years, bring it on. They just get it, don't they.

So what exactly is going on? Something about flights, tacky shit being mailed to fans and a possible Glasto announcement from a band who are playing every other festival. That isn't Radiohead.

Is that it? A Foos secret gig?

I still have two vague hopes for tickets for tonight, tho I doubt I'll get lucky.

I am keeping my fingers crossed tho, cos it's not all over until the slightly obese lady sings.

Didn't you say Foo Fighters are "shit"? Seems a bit naughty to potentially remove a ticket from someone who actually likes the band. Or have you just got FOMO?

[Gnomicide]

All the activity on Twitter has brought in quite a few new followers for TheThingy Twitter account including a plethora of ones who have "manage me... I'm a mess" as their Twitter bio. A quick google of this shows it to be an All Time Low lyric. Is there something they're not telling us or is there a big crossover of Foos & All Time Low fans?

Ohhhh what did they say?

[DropBeat]

Not my favourite band in the world, but hats off to them. Such a great way to announce. Nice to see that this isn't just another festival date for them. I'm sure they will put on a great show.

FOMO?

I might have said they were shit, but that's not what I really think of them - tho they're not really my thing ... but that doesn't mean I don't want to be there if I can wangle it. As foos shows go, I suspect it will be by-far the best I'll get to see (if I do).

Thankyou!  

no doubting it, if im completely honest. You were the first to hear something, first to mention a venue, first to mention the boarding pass CAG connection. All came from you there. 

 

Hats off

 

Edit: Becuase there was plenty of people doubting you ( @kalifire )

Fear of missing out

The Guardian have now picked up the story and a load of others piling in after seeing that.

If anyone travelling down needs something to listen to in the car - please feel free to download (for free) one of my mixes. https://hearthis.at/mattjames/

I live about 20 mins from the CAG - would have loved the chance to catch this great gig.

See you in all June.

Classic. DJ Matt James demonstrating that you don't need to construct a complex treasure hunt leading to a secret gig for a bit of self promo. Well played.

I'd imagine that the event tonight will have by far the highest concentration of Eavii and other Glastonbury related staff in one place between now and the Festival. Can't imagine many better places to go looking for rumours / leads.
