Well, I’ve prepared a super brief summary of the artists playing (a couple of words for each one) sorted by genres to make it easier to find performances that might interest you. I skipped most of the headliners and 2nd line names because I consider everyone knows already about them, and also I skipped as well some djs I didn’t know very well. If you want to listen to the music of any specific artist in the list I suggest you this Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2yq4iaXGrLa69oHXGm9olQ Here we go! Indie (and shoegaze, dreampop, psych..) Yo La Tengo is one of the festival's main names. The New Jersey trio has had a practically impeccable discography since the late 80s if you're into indie/noisepop. Blonde Redhead could be considered as one of the comebacks of this edition. I lost track of them in the 2010s after amazing dreampop albums like 23 and Misery Is a Butterfly but with their work in 2023 they still seem to have it. Slow Pulp is one of the bands I'm most looking forward to seeing in this genre, as I don't think they have ever come to Spain and they will finally do so with one of the albums of the year, created in a cabin in Wisconsin. Yeule is another expected artist for me, I’d call her music something like glitch-noisepop, synth-shoegaze or chill-dreampop-wave. Ethel Cain is a young dreampop singer-songwriter gaining a lot of hype lately (from sitting in the front row at Florence & The Machine's concerts to opening for her). The Last Dinner Party, with only 4 songs (when this is being written) are probably the it-band of the year. Kind of a Fleetwood Mac-esque indie rock with some drops of glam. Nieve Ella, despite her name, isn’t Spanish but a young UK debut artist who started out by uploading her music to tiktok before making the leap to the indie scene. The Lemon Twigs is a duo formed by prolific and all-rounder brothers Michael and Brian D’Addario, who are truly enthusiasts of the late 60s and 70s music. Crumb is a psychedelic pop band based in Brooklyn who have recently collaborated with Melody’s Echo Chamber. Silica Gel is also good neo-psychedelia but from South Korea, anyone said K-Psych? Whatever. Water From Your Eyes were the supporter band from last Interpol tour here, but they are more into something we could call “hyper-rock” (experimental+artpop+postpunk+psych). Model/Actriz will bring to the Parc del Forum that dance-punk we don’t see since the last DFA days in the late 2000s, but with more noise on it. Sophia Chablau e Uma Enorme Perda de Tempo is a funny indie and postpunk band from Brasil. Another comeback is that of the underground band Voxtrot, jangle-pop for Belle & Sebastian and Smiths fans. Royel Otis were the authors of the soundtrack of the line-up video, fresh indie and jangle-pop from Australia in the vein of The Drums. Ratboys is like a hidden piece of indie with a little bit of country. And not precisely indie is Dogstar (Keanu Reeves’ project, yes, that Keanu Reeves), post-grunge if any, or “alternative” rock (maybe even without the “alternative”) but I had to sort it somewhere. Not my cup of tea but some may find it interesting. Last, but not least, if you don’t mind the language but the indie spirit, here you have a few acts from Spain and LATAM that you’ll like to discover: Aiko el Grupo (twee pop-punk with guitars and synths), Depresión Sonora (coldwave and postpunk revival), Él mato a un Policía Motorizado (Argentinian noise pop à la Pavement, Primavera Sound trademark), Ferran Palau (catalan bedroom pop), Lisasinson (noise pop-punk) and Viuda (profane and dark postpunk). Punk / garage / hardcore / metal Girls to the front! Bikini Kill are riot grrrl legend commanded by Kathleen Hanna, we’re waiting their gig in Primavera since ¿2020? and I even doubted about skip listing them here as I did with the headliners. Mannequin Pussy ingredients are “riot grrrl, indie punk, hardcore, powerpop, kim deal, may contain traces of noise (more)”. Amyl & The Sniffers, thrashing and energetic garage punk from Australia. Mujeres are also one the festival’s regulars, not a female band despite their name, but a garage and power pop act from Barcelona. Militarie Gun will be filling the Turnstile’s post-hardcore slot this year. Another two recent hardcore-punk sensations are Scowl and Gel. A Spanish post-hardocre comeback is Lisabö, from the Basque Country. Shellac, Steve Albini’s band (producer of Nirvana, Pixies et al.) are playing every year as permanent guests at the festival, in case anyone has missed them. The mysterious and ever-changing project The Armed deserve a listen to their chameleonic post-hardcore with contributions of Iggy Pop and Julien Baker. Tropical f**k Storm are expected to develop on stage their noisy experimental rock and Brutus will be equally commited to their post-hardcore/metal/rock. And in the darkest side of the festival we’ll find Chelsea Wolfe’s ethereal doom metal and Wiegedood‘s atmospheric black metal. Emo / Slowcore / Singer-songwriters Let’s begin this soft side of the fest with emo icons American Football who are again active after a looooong hiatus. Also sharing some slacker rock but more into slowcore are Duster, coming back after almost 20 years and being a bit viral since their music captures perfectly some moods in tiktok. More slowcore (but indieish) with Scottish myth Arab Strap, also returning in this decade. More 90s/00s reminiscence with the chamber pop/country of Lambchop. And some female singer-songwriters you won't want to miss in the early evening are the growing star Faye Webster who is becoming bigger everyday, Jessica Pratt with her anachronic voice, the depth of Julie Byrne and Elliott Smith and Daniel Johnston fan Joanna Sternberg. Folk / World music The folk counterpoint is provided by irish folk music of Lankum, one of the most interesting bands of this edition with one of the albums of the year. Channel One will be in charge of bringing Jamaican music to the Forum. Balming Tiger are experimental hiphop and alternative K-pop from Korea. The recent addition to the line-up Atarashii Gakko! Use to play J-pop, J-rock and synth-funk. And Portuguese Rita Vian uses to play kind of electronic fado. Minimal and Ambient Less is more, so here you’ll find: the minimalism of Charlemagne Palestine, the acclaimed and awaited minimal ambient of William Basinski who will be performing Disintegration Loops, minimal techno from Monolake, more ambient from Space Afrika, ambient pop and minival wave from HTRK and the dark ambient of Wolf Eyes who could be also listed in the noise section. Experimental & Jazz Shabaka (Hutchings, obviously, if you were asking), the sax behind The Comet Is Coming and Sons of Kemet, now in a solo act. BADBADNOTGOOD is jazz fusion directly from Canada, considered by some as instrumental hiphop and having remixed (reconstructed I’d say) Turnstile recently. The avantgarde and nu-jazz of Nala Sinephro got her Space 1.8 album awarded as AOTY in many music media. The unclassifiable Mount Kimbie productions can range from Future Garage to Dubstep, Indietronica and Post-Punk. Eartheater can blend together art pop with psychedelic folk and electronic. Also Phew plays with art pop routing it from drone to post-punk. And belgian Nazar will be performing live in the fest his post-industrial kuduro. Hip hop Quite exclusive and reputed hiphop this year besides big names like last year’s Kendrick. If Badbadnotgood are middle term between jazz and hiphop, so is reputed Billy Woods with its abstract and experimental rap. Freddie Gibbs and Madlib, big names in the genre will join forces to mark the tenth anniversary of their joint album Piñata. Clipse is the exclusive reunion of the brothers of Pusha T and Malice in the project they use to have in those The Neptunes days produced by Pharrell. Roc Marciano is a gangsta rapper from the east coast who has worked with the Alchemist. And F.R.A.C. (Foundation of Atypical Rappers from Cádiz) is an Andalusian rap gang with comical lyrics. R&B Amaarae is one of my main 2024’s reccomendations. But this genre is quite well represented in the lineup: we also have the legendary Jai Paul, as influential as elusive, reappearing unexpectedly after a decade in the Shadow. Also Omar Apollo, adding a bit of neosoul and bedroom pop to the equation. Slightly more alternative is Tirzah, with a promising new record this year. And maybe other of my favourites is 070 Shake who already was in PS19 and released in 2020 a bright record. A promising new artist might be Obongjayar who may be you familiar to you from his collaborations with Fred Again.. and Little Simz. And if you opt for an electronic and glitchy alternative r&b we have Sega Bodega. Disco and Synthpop Róisín Murphy (former Moloko singer) signed one of the best albums of the year with her house-pop, run and catch her onstage before she screws up with another unfortunate transphobic comment that would lead her mostly queer audience to cancel her. Romy (from The XX) debuted with another great synthpop/dance/house album of this 2023. More synthpop and good vibes onstage with Roosevelt. And with a specially good live (imho) are L’Imperatrice, funky synthpop and nu-disco with a frech touch. Don’t miss them if you like that music. Also from Frace comes the humorous dance music of Teki Latex. From Italy the mysterious and masked Liberato find a place for the tradizione napoletana among the contemporary sounds like future bass. In Spain we can find nice synthpop songs in catalá from Renaldo & Clara and from Andorra there are some synthpop in spanish language from julia amor. Pop / Hyperpop / Pc Music Charli XCX is (imo) the true icon and curator of the festival’s New Normal, above Yung Beef or whoever. She has played in 2019, twice in 2022 and even appeared partying in the PC Muisc a la ciutat show. She will be again in 2024 (only resting in 2023 since the New Normal concept started) and everyone who has worked with her has also come to the fest (Carly Rae Jepsen, Caroline Polachek, Christine & The Queens, Sky Ferreira, Clairo, Yaeji, Big Freedia, Cupcakke, Pabllo Vittar, Mykki Blanco, Danny L Harle…), and this year is the time of pop stars Troye Sivan and Kim Petras (who is repeating), and a couple of colleagues from PC Music as producer A.G. Cook, shiny pop star Hannah Diamond and chameleonic Dorian Electra, all of them repeating presence in Primavera Sound. We could also add to this basket Madonna’s daughter Lolahol, and Daniela Lalita (despite I don’t know very well her work, she comes from being featured in Mura Masa’s songs “Love” and “Drugs”, but maybe she opt for a more urban sound let’s see). From Spain we have Hofe, who use to work along with 4:40, and a real extravaganza worthy of the nerdiest of freaks: Stella Maris, the fictional “catholic band” from TV series La Mesías, formed by beloved singer Amaia and other actresses and with their music produced by Hidrogenesse, the “spanish Sparks” and another Primavera regulars. Electronic, House, Techno… I’m sorry I’m not really that much into electronic so I’ll skip most of the djs I don’t know, but let’s go with the acts I do know: Korean deep house and nu-disco artist Peggy Gou is coming back to the fest as one of the big electronic names (besides Disclosure, Justice..) after her hit “(It goes like) Nanana” went viral this summer. Peruvian artist Sofia Kourtesis will follow the deep house cuts but this time with a latin touch. And there will be no shortage of deep house / nu-disco this year with Barry Can’t Swim. The founder of Hyperdub label, Kode 9, specialises in Dubstep and UK Bass. And the EBM will be provided by Mandy, Indiana. The reputed soundtrack composer and producer Mica Levi (aka Micachu) will be doing a dj set, and you could also try the showcase of Herrensauna (CEM b2b MCMLXXXV, Salome & SPFDJ) one of the highlights in the djs section. The Blessed Madonna will bring more nu-disco and deep house to the sunday brunch to try to make us dance, and with her will be Chlóe Caillet, Anotr and Mochakk. Urban, Latin Trap and Reggaeton Yes, despite what Gabi said, there is still some. Let’s start with Arca, whom I wouldn’t know where to classify with her deconstructed and glitch club music with latin notes. Maybe in experimental? I’d also highlight the urban pop of argentinian Dillom. More obvious is Rels B, trap and dancehall for Bad Gyal fans. MJ Nebreda will show us her “changa tuki” a new latin genre from Venezuela mixing 90s electronic with new sounds. Spanish trap queen La Zowi returns to Primavera one more time to prove who is “La Reina del Sur”. Milo J is another trap artist from Argentina who has been recording with the successful and viral producer Bizarrap. Puerto Rican YOVNGCHIMI has worked with people like Bad Bunny and Mora. Pelada is a vindictive project from Canada focused in latin music and electronic. And I’d close with DJ Playero, an unexpected regular of this festival, back in action after blazing the trail in the glory days of old reggaeton. Delving into the Spanish music scene Besides some other acts already mentioned in each category, there is also some music with a specific Spanish touch waiting to cross borders. Derby Motoreta's Burrito Kachimba blends modern (heavy) psych with “Andalusian rock” (a 70’s mixture of Flamenco and prog-rock). Ángeles, Victor, Gloria y Javier is a recent supergroup formed by flamenco singer Ángeles Toledano, psych musician Victor Cabezuelo (from Rufus T. Firefly), jazz drummer Gloria Maurel and electronic music producer Javier Martín. Merina Gris is electropop in euskera language from Basque Country. Cómo Vivir en el Campo is underground indie pop from Madrid. Maria Hein is a Balearic indie pop-folk singer/songwriter. Guillem Gisbert is the solo project from the leader of Manel, the catalá indie band that have been playing in previous editions. And María Jaume is another catalá singer-songwriter. That's all, I hope you find it useful 🙂

Been at a gig tonight, a tame singer songwriter affair. Someone in front filming taking pictures every two mins, the person next to her on Reddit checking the setlist from a previous gig. A group of girls down the row all together and filming non stop. Another woman with her partner, filmed every single song. I’m not a Luddite, I understand people have a powerful camera in their pocket and may want a memento, but the frequency is baffling. Not only that, but it completely ruins the experience for me. The distraction of the light really takes you out of the zone, leaves me personally filling up with annoyance and rage - effectively ruining the show. For me, you should honour and respect the artist you’re seeing with your full attention, I see no reason for the shocking frequency at which people hold up phones. How can we return to a time where people have more respect and prefer to enjoy the moment than capture it? I’ve been to several gigs where your phones are confiscated and it’s wonderful. Similarly when the artist calls it out and requests people not to, or directs them to one song only. It fills me with total despair to come away from a gig feeling that I couldn’t concentrate or enjoy because of all the distractions.

I guess it's time to build a new hat .... ive a plan for this one will update later fc340392-b690-4001-85b6-4ec0f1724ffc.mp4

To probably add nothing to the topic that hasn’t already been mentioned (sorry, I’m not a regular here), the main reason Glastonbury is so good is the people - you’ll all have noticed that at Glastonbury, everyone is really happy and really nice to each other! Whilst other festivals are often fun, this is really NOT the case at other festivals or in our general lives. Part of that is that everyone attending is really grateful and REALLY wants to be there - they’ve all put effort into being organised, getting up and pressing f5 for an hour (that’s not to say there are a few unlucky hundred thousand who also really want to be there but can’t, simply because demand outstrips supply). I can think of loads of mates who would never try for tickets but who would enter the ballot on a whim (same way I do for London marathon - I don’t particularly care for it so I would never press f5 for an hour for it, but I do enter the ballot most years when I remember!). If the audience were made up of mainly half arsed people who entered a ballot, I honestly think it would be disastrous for the vibe, and not the festival we know. Still probably the best festival in the country, but closer to just a generic fun big festival, instead of the glasto we are all obsessed by. People do get angry without fail all over social media whenever they can’t get a ticket. It would be exactly the same with a ballot.

Announcement of the line up announcement tomorrow I'm guessing

You might know him as Rodney

great, more flutes

It’s perfectly possible there was an alternative link shared privately by See which directed users to a server which was not included in the pool served by the usual web address, and this was a designed situation. Others found the address for this server and accessed via the usual sub domain by changing their hosts file. It’s also possible these servers were not meant to be handling any requests for Glastonbury sales. Users who tried to buy tickets from the ‘normal’ website did not have less of a chance of getting a session per request. If anything the other server took some of the load away, and these requests would otherwise have been on the public server pool. The impact of this exploit effectively reduces the number of tickets available, but otherwise doesn’t negatively effect the possibility of ‘getting through’. We have no idea how many tickets were sold on the other server but it is probably insignificant vs the public servers. If it was handling anything like the same amount of requests as the public servers it would not have been an advantage. The ticket sale took an hour. This is above average suggesting that the impact of some being able to buy tickets easily was minimal. There is evidence that this situation has occurred several times in the past. There is no evidence that this weakness was exploited for commercial/personal gain/profit See tickets system held up very well to thousands of payments. At some point there were some issues which were rectified within 15 minutes (this probably explains the longer sell out time) Whatever system is used there will always be a weakness. Some people will always maximise their opportunities and exploit any weaknesses that exist. I expect See will address this exploit govern its widespread discussion today, but there will be another weakness. There is always a way to gain an advantage. At the end of the day, in my opinion See do a great job of handling the sale these days. There are very few technical issues and mostly everyone has a similar probability of securing a ticket. Weaknesses exist but they’re limited and can’t easily be exploited for profit. Those who are unlucky will often look for a reason/convincing story as to why they were unlucky or something was unfair. Links and ‘hacks’ have been shared on this forum in the past allowing its users to buy tickets easily (Freya link in 2004 or IP address typo in 2013). Very few complain when they have benefited. If you missed out, good luck in the resale. And if you succeeded, then congratulations.

I will start by saying that I agree with just about all of your posts on the forum. The above is pretty much spot on, in particular, how easy it was to get free money from the government back in the day. One time, the missus and I went to Neath dole office to make a new claim. Daughter #2 was about 3 months old. We said that we were of no fixed abode and the lovely lady dealing with our claim said that if we were NFA we couldn't possibly be living together if we didn't live anywhere so therefore should make two separate claims. OK, so I made a claim as a single parent for daughter #1 and other half for #2. That meant lots of extra money and double child benefit and crucially didn't have to sign on anymore. Just free money every fortnight, result! That was about the same time that the government came up with The Enterprise Allowance Scheme, a dodge to massage the enormous unemployment figures. If on the dole you'd say that you were setting up a business, submit a business plan and then get financial support for a year or two to get you going. It was more than dole moneyand full rent would be paid as well. I knew loads of people who would set up businesses as songwriters, puppeteers etc and then bugger off to India or Thailand for a year or two and live like kings! One huge positive of this was that genuine applicants of the scheme could form bands, become artists and various other amazing thing nand really focus on it and actually make it work without having to spend most of their time flipping burgers to make ends meet. I bet many reading this will love some of the music that exists now purely because of that government support. As far as dole vans visiting traveller sites..... erm, sorry no. It did happen once and it was clearly a government ploy that would get reported in the media and influence public opinion. Oh boy,and did it work. Arguably the last ever proper |Free Festival was tail end of July '92. Happy Daze Free Festival. The year before it was at Bala and I was somewhat involved in it. Castlemoreton happened in May '92 and there was a huge police crackdown on us lot. I thought that I'd chance my arm and contacted Dyfed Powys Police hoping to negotiate a site for Happy Daze '92 using a false name, Philip Mitchilum. I asked them to get in touch using the small ads in The Shropshire Star newspaper. They didn't, they ran a huge article appealing for Philip Mitchilum to get in touch! Got the press cutting somewhere, will have to dig it out.This resulted in me, the missus and a mate \Stef agreeing to a meeting with them in the Newtown police station. As we were walking up the stairs an obviously undercover copper said "Hi James" . sh*t, the blag name clearly didn't work very well. We all sat down in some conference room and Chief Inspector John LLewellyn Williams asked about Philip Mitchilum. I replied "Fill up my chillum". They really didn't see the funny side of it.Complete sense of humour failure. Anyway, cut a long story short, they agreed to provide us with a site for the festival. We were parked up in some forestry near Meifod called The Dragons Back at the time and the Chief Inspector randomly popped up a couple of times for a chat. He was actually clearly a good bloke. The day before the festival he returned really late at night...we thought it was a wind up and there'd be no site given to us, and told us where we could have the festival. Obviously we had no time to check the location out but it seemed OK. We immediately shot off to the nearest phone box to make some calls to spread the word and next day off we went. The site was kind of OK...except that it was owned by an ancient farmer. Poorly fenced and sheep everywhere. The sheep hadn't been moved away. Loads of sheep killed by travellers dogs which was obviously reported in every newspaper.....and the icing on the cake was, for the first time ever, a dole office was set up on site for EVERYONE to sign on. Didn't matter bwhat name you gave,whether you were entitled to dole or not, you got a Giro on the spot. Completely unheard of. The number of people in the queue to sign on was almost matched by the number of press reporters there. Remember, this was just after Castlemoreton, the largest Free Festival/Rave ever in the UK, the one that caused the Criminal Justice Act to be brought in which ended the travelling scene along with Free Festivals and raves. It was this that created the urban myth that mobile dole offices used to visit New Age Traveller sites.

My son and I have exchanged our top 100 songs playlists, when I put it on shuffle it's like spending the day at his place, which is nice as he lives overseas and I don't get to see him as often as I'd like.

love how everyone is disappointed in a line up they do not know

For tonight and Sunday... Godspeed You! E/D Threaders. Ben ❤️

Blink Prodigy clash would be the funniest (saddest) thing ever. "Two main stages sucks! Bring back the old system, bring back the choice and the clashes!" "NOT LIKE THAT NOT LIKE THAT"

I’m not in but will provide moral support for those trying … obvious disappointment today but still a decent amount of hope for other routes in . Good luck to all

I'm in. Ben x

Personally think sziget has lost something last few years. Lineups are poorer, less days and all the other stuff has stagnated. It needs to reinvent itself.

Gabi every year deciding which acts to leak to YunT so the people here are excited enough but the poster still bears surprises

I feel like a traitor to this forum for saying it, but as (probably the smallest minority possible) I've not actually seen them before, I'd be quite excited for Coldplay. Not a huge fan of their music but it seems like they do put on a show, and they have a good amount of classics. Sorry everyone.

We got tickets for the first time ever!! 3 of us coach from Bristol!. Flying from Belfast so now working out what and how to pack!! Honestly beside ourselves! Can't wait

The miracle happened at 2:23am. Can’t believe it worked from my phone in this hospital bed. Never give up no matter how many times you see sold out / unavailable. See you June. Best of luck to those trying on Sunday sale.

I guess every headliner band wasn’t a headliner band at some stage. There needs to be a point in time where they make that step up. Until they’re given the chance how do we know if bands are capable of headlining. We can’t just have the same names that were huge 20 years ago recycled forever in a perpetual cycle.

I have tickets for Sunday at Live-is-live festival to see Smashing Pumpkins and i got tickets to see The Boss two days later at Werchter. Also in the bag are tickets to see Metallica, Coldplay (what can I say, I have a wife😆) and Rammstein before Graspop. Hotels, tickets and flight, all booked. Just need the RW and GMM crew to wake up to get me that little more excited 🤘😁

We’re in! After the desperate disappointment of ticket day we were given the possibility of hospitality tickets (they are legit) from a media contact, a one off for this year. Thought about it for days but since this could be our last we accepted. To be honest if I could swap them for general entry tickets I would but this is another way of seeing the festival! Now just to decide where to stay. Anyway we’re on the farm next year😊😊😊

Louis Tomlinson - final submission. 1. This is one of the first things that pops up when you search 'louis logo' 2. Louis' doing Super Bloom in September 3. I believe Niall pulled a strong crowd last year in sub-headline spot so another direction would make sense for booking 4: EDIT: The 'L's layer exactly on top of each other. Over and out.

I had never heard of Duster. Been listening for the past couple of hours - so far they are fantastic! That's why I spend time on this forum and that's why I love this festival.

PSB played this before their gigs

ChadGPT

Have to feel a bit for Duster. A band with a cult following and their records changing hands for a small fortune, finally reunited and crossing the atlantic for their first ever gig overseas. And they end up in font size 6 next to DJ Fart In The Club.

I know it's unlikely but how much better would swapping Coldplay out for AC/DC look?

The irony of people complaining about hacks and syndicates not being fair on a thread called '2024 Ticket Buying Tips'

The bosses behind the camera:

For me personally it has always been the quality and the variety of the undercards that has brought me to Primavera every year since 2016 and that makes this festival unique. Very seldom spend any time in Mordor except for a couple of concerts each year. Hopefully they will be able to put together a great collection of undercards next year as well.

Way too much going on to watch that borefest!

I always used to give my mum a list of albums I wanted for Christmas and she'd head off to buy a few off the list for me. She told me she refused to ask the nice man in HMV for Rum, Sodomy and The Lash so handed him the list instead 😁

Yes, but Editors are huge in Belgium.

No. It's shaping up to be a great one honestly, still waiting for some confirmations, hence the postponement.

If Carly wasn‘t secured Gabi should have called her maybe?

Still not convinced Chad isn't a sentient AI

That has to be the least encouraging endorsement I've ever seen.

I'd rather miss out to someone who is dedicated enough to figure out a way to get through for them and their mates than to someone who filled out an online form on a whim and forgot all about it until they wake up to an email telling them if they were successful or not.

Sounds like you need to go to Alton Towers, pal

Some of these comments are astonishing, and would almost certainly not be made had the person making them been successful with tickets. I don’t see an issue with people using the DNS thing for personal tickets, however I do see a huge problem with people charging for this as a service, which is essentially disguised touting. However, all accounts of which have been purely annecdotal by the way, seems a bit like chinese whispers to me. Everybody seems so frantic about the issue. And to those calling for a ballot/lottery, it essentially is that already, you’re either lucky enough to get through, or you’re not. There’s very little that can be done to raise your chances of getting tickets other than joining a syndicate, which seems pretty morally neutral to me. None of us are owed tickets, regardless of how long we’ve been going, how much we love the festival, or even how much effort we put in.

Far better good people get the hospitality tickets rather than knobheads: I was on gate A for a shift last year and basically everyone with a hospitality ticket finds a way to mention it at every opportunity 😄 one particular example wanted me to find out if there were Sherpas around to give her a hand with her bags, and could we radio the hospitality area to let them know she had arrived? I smiled my most polite smile and encouraged her to take responsibility for herself for the next couple of hundred yards, we don’t have an army of servants ready to carry her padded leather bags 🤣

In, thanks to Stu 2 Hats. 10th anniversary of Camp Ralph, a group of solo campers who got together through this site in 2014. One group missed out but hopefully with everyone else trying for them in the resale, they'll be OK.

I got tickets for me and my mate. Will be our first Glastonbury

You can be unhappy with the booking but this is crass as f**k, no need frankly.

You talk so much bollocks.

no hints whatsoever for long so let me please bring up my roman empire. should I move on? probably will I? never

Fred Again.. confirmed for Way Out West. Surely tbc for Sziget after those hints here.
