I was reading this yesterday and it did say April but it’s changed overnight. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/tickets/

What about 'Thread Unlikely To Be Correct About Acts Unlikely To Be At Glastonbury 2022'?

And just the shit they have to deal with generally...

"When I see the beams of, those huarache lights..."

Yep I know too many people who think music should essentially be a free commodity. I buy vinyl predominantly to support the artists. I don't even listen to it at the rate I buy it and especially during the pandemic I concentrated on spending my money mostly on smaller artists who I knew could be hit hardest by not being able to tour. I don't buy as much tour merch as I should but mainly because I really hate carting it around on the night of a gig but I do try and buy the odd t-shirt online. I do go mostly for cheaper, smaller venue gigs but that's mostly because those playing the big arenas/stadiums don't really need the money/support as much and I do prefer smaller gigs. I do also pay for my Deezer and artists probably earn more from me than most as I always have music playing in at least one room in the house even when I go out (for the dogs!) That being said I would like artists to use their clout to get more venues adopting services like Dice which is more environmentally friendly, easier to re-sell and screw over fans less with booking fees etc.

We were talking about J. Cole earlier weren't we? Jermaine Lamarr Cole? Born 1985. Just interesting that stuff about him graduating with a 3.8 GPA wasn't it?

Calling @PDAD and @Seldom Seen Kid and @Homer and @dondoand anyone else who fancies joining! 😀

Hey, a friend of ours has split up from her boyf, still wants to go but we have campervan tickets. Can she camp in regular camping?

A mistake apparently. 'They do a bleeped version so kids can watch

I’m surprised that they did a gig so soon, last I heard Wyclef Jean was gone till November.

I won't pretend to know who's playing outside those announced, as I don't, but I've had those tweets categorically rubbished

I wonder how many people on here are still lurking ?

and good to see you back on here SF 🙂

Get Fugees tickets, did ya?

Personally I've been hearing Giant Swan (or Robin on his own) are the special guest but definitely not 100% on that one

Four Tet Lost Village set (2021) is now on Soundcloud for those interested! It’s made me so excited for his Brixton shows

May be of interest to some in here. 24hrs from 11pm Saturday night until midnight on Sunday.

Based on a ticket value of £270 excluding the value of the program (that’s VAT free). Bringing the sale forward would save around £2.8 million of VAT which could be used to prevent large price hikes £54 of VAT at 20% per ticket £33.75 of VAT at 12.5% per ticket 140000 tickets

Reminder, for me and everybody else, that the remaining balance was (is) £215 per ticket. x

Good spot. This has to be a VAT thing and makers perfect sense in that context. In short, VAT on event tickets is currently reduced to 5%. This goes up to 12.5% on October 1st, and then back up to the full 20% on April 1st.

Playing fast and loose with ‘ruled out’ there

Shame on you all for not listening to this 100% serious post from @Somto Unigwe Raphael ! Do you not know who J.Cole is or something??

Live show clip 🙂

This was the track that got me into them;

The tour dates, the rumor of glastonbury, the 2019 lineup and the missing headliner in NOS Alive. Everything indicates that it is one of the missing headliners

Around 3/4ish years ago if we aren't including The Pilot and I did actually see someone with Status Quo and WASP patches there. I remember thinking about if it was meant to be somekind of ironic cosplay or not.

I was too. It was a long hot day and, as good as Sigur Ros are, it didn’t have my energy levels up.

Haha, ‘Status Quo and WASP patches’. When was the last time you went to Download?

I just wish they’d just ‘bend the truth’ and add the additional costs into the ticket prices. I’d rather pay £40 for a ticket with ‘zero’ fees than £35 with £5 additional fees - even though it’s essentially the same thing. Much like how VAT isn’t an issue when you can’t see it!

I managed to fall asleep earlier in the day whilst stood in the queue for halloumi up at the Park after Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Ended up back in my tent in Michael's Mead setting an alarm for a 20 minute nap before ZZ Top. Fair to say that went well.

The reality is if GPs where seeing more people face to face there would be more GP absences which doesn't help with the excess demand. There are two issues at work here: 1. It is hard to get a GP appointment of any kind. This is because there is a shortage of GPs, you can blame lazy GPs wanting part time hours once they've qualified, you can blame too many immigrants as the countries full, you can blame Brexit for chasing away all those lovely EU Drs, you can blame the Tories for a decade of underfunding the NHS, or whatever else suits your political axe BUT you cannot blame current COVID restrictions. 2. Most appointments are now phone appointments unless there is no way the examination can be done using a call and sending some pics. This isn't causing a backlog it's the same GPs giving you the same time but without the risk of spreading anything. Obviously if you need to be seen you should be able to go in and in my experience this has been fine, I've had my GPs finger up my bum twice this pandemic. Issue 1 is a big problem, I've found at my practice Issue 2 isn't a big deal in fact I would 100% support the default appointment being a phone appointment past the pandemic it's much less disruptive.

Stewards enquiry! Shifting Don Estelle and the lads to where they played a bit better? For shame!

The rave works in mysterious and beautiful ways ❤️

I am fucking bored of the expectations that only the super duper stadium acts can and should headline festivals where there's more interesting options available when you look past that small selection. It's be a shame if those mid-fest slot get taken away for staduim acts.

I simultaneously shoulder and deny the blame.

Shit American booking fees asides I don't think people have touched on how musicians were forced to change how their business works. People don't buy music anymore so they have been forced to tour more with higher prices whilst trying to flog merch like they work on a market stall rather than make music. So it's kinda insane to see some people on here who have been getting free music for years, refuse to buy a drink to support the smaller venue or merch to support the band themselves, skip the support band and go on about saving their pennies on ticket pticecs. Yes they get money from Spotify but the rates are complete shit. Below are the pay rates of how royalties work now. I saw a UK version of this which I now can't find. Alot of the bands I listen to don't come close to these type of listeners let alone 4x it so each member can have money.

killing me softly with those prices

Readies or not

I already had it in mind to do that 🙂 … it will have pride of place on the chimney breast I think … unless it gets too warm … 🙂

When Billie wants....

Confidence Man seem to be touring around the time of PS2022. Hope to see them added...

Put out a music video that I think is my best work yet! A lot of work was put into this goofy song. I know some people on this forum enjoy what I do, so here's the latest (and greatest?)

This new album from Alien Boy absolutely rips and is insanely catchy. If you like big fuzzed out bangers then this one’s for you:

I just put out a new one too! Hope everyone enjoys!

I think this was the last time...
