I uploaded my information for my accreditation and complete my online H&S induction last week. I had to upload a photo as part of that process.

Labour won't grow the economy by being anti business

pretty sure all local yes.

Personally, I'd say it's rather early for that last ditch, grin-and-bear-it optimism; bit like giving up on getting a GA ticket before the Ticket Resale. Oxfam have been collecting all the returns since the main giveaway on 1st Feb, including anything after the Resale. In the next couple of weeks, probably announced upfront, they will release all those places; by my assessment, that will be certainly dozens, and probably quite a few more than that ! Then later last year they also had two smaller out-of-hours batches and loads of sporadic places here and there. All in all, I'd say that's got to be more than 100 spaces still to be filled. Does that make it a shoe-in to get one ? I'd say no, cos there will be 100s, if not 1000s of would-be volunteers keeping an eye out to try and snag them. Good luck, and nil desperandum, to those still in the game !

This was 2022, we planned to venture up but didn't go early enough, pretty sure they were advising to stay away on the various message boards because it was proper rammed, you could here the noise and hum from the gathering crowd it was certainly impressive!

Also ticket prize for people that vote in that competition for the shortlisted entry 👀

I was in that london yesterday and went into the Co op inSoho. No Clipper tea with the competition mentioned. Goodness only knows where it is.

It seems I am going to my first 2000 Trees this year. I told my girlfriend, I had entered a NHS ballot for tickets on Concert for Carers as I liked a few bands. I am not really expecting to win but as my partner would not want to camp if I did win, she started looking for hotels just in case I get lucky. I told her what bands I would like to see and mentioned that Thumpasaurus are playing as she is a big fan. Once, I mentioned them she wanted to know how much tickets cost. They are doing the £50 off for weekend tickets and so we got from me casually saying I had entered a draw to booking tickets. I am always entering NHS draws and must have entered over 200 for Concert for Carers and won 16 times, so really thought it unlikely I will win. When I look at the poster its a case of bands I like and know and go to see or the bulk of it is people I know nothing about. Obviously, if i dont want to become single,so we are going to see Thumpasaurus 😃. Most of the names, I dont have a clue about. I am a fan of The Gaslight Anthem, Cassette, Empire State Bastard, Crawlers, As December Falls, Dead Pony, Creeper, Frank Turner, Don Broco, Static Dress & Hot Milk. There are others, I have seen at festivals or in support slots and so am aware of their sound i.e Bob Vylan, The Mysterines, King Nun, Nova Twins, The Pale White, Bears in Trees, & Pet Needs . I already plan to listen to Hot Mulligan & The Chats as I have heard of them but have not actually heard their tunes. So, if anyone has any recomendations of who is worth a listen to before going I would be gratful of the advice. There is clearly more on the poster, I dont know then bands I am familar with.

Yep it’s a very sensible idea and will have a significant impact I would think .

Have to admit I am surprised it’s taken this long to do that, a lot of tik tok videos last year showing people sneaking in, definitely would’ve lead to some changes this year. Would be absolute madness year on year otherwise

The crew will need to upload photos for their passes in areas where they hadn’t previously needed to . Rather than giving a list of names

This is absolutely made for you 🙂 I won a competition judged by Emily and Michael a few years back and was absolutely stoked … prize was the Glastonbury 50 book signed by Emily and Michael . Wish it had been tickets though

As in the EPO passes will have a photo on them now?

oh wow! Emily is judging the designs this year!

So it seems they are tightening up on crew passes and a photo needs to be submitted in areas where it wasn’t before This will mean that they should be able to prevent many of the pass out ruses and will hopefully mean things are less busy . Not directly a site change but will impact getting about

Fair enough. Maybe I (or the two guys) misremembered it. They definitely reckoned they got into it though, and weren't even trying a blag. Dunno how they would've even got backstage though. Unless it was before the Wednesday and things were a bit lax

Yes I found out that out this afternoon when I went to Co-op store number 7. Its definitely a Co-op group store, it accepted my card, and it has blue signage at the front of the store and green on the back! So halfway through being re done I guess. Eitherway they did not have any clipper tea, so it was a waste of time. I wonder how many miles in total we have collectively travelled searching for tea, cheese etc.

There are secret sets and secret sets. Big difference between Radiohead at The Park and someone who's already playing elsewhere chipping up to the Crow's Nest.

I’m sure there must be an instance where it’s happened, but it largely seems to be the case that its friends of the festival or acts who’ve previously played who do the secret sets. Suppose it makes sense that most acts don’t want their debut at the festival to be a secret one with a restricted audience.

TBH if Dua Lipa brings Mick Jagger out idgaf that he's not on her new album.

I believe there are still 3 slots TBA on Saturday? (1 for Main Stage, 2 for Revolut) Or was it also filled with some local names?

They're on my shortlist. Fantastic band, and I think I had the chance to see them at Glasto a few years back but didn't get round to it. Won't miss out this time!

absolute hero! god this website is great isn't it!

Brittish Summer Time has it.

there is only 1 bar and has always been only one bar its at the top near the gate to the feft of the stage as ou look at is - the backstage/ crew bar is only accessable if you have additional wrist bands - there is a special park wrist band and the crew wristband needed or hospitality band
