  1. If I remember rightly it was to make sure it was packed but also keep their image as a kind of up and coming/DIY whatever band. But I might be chatting out of my arse.
  2. wasn't there some chat that it was wet legs management who wanted them to stay on the park?
  3. I'd put decent money on tickets still selling out in record time. Coverage in the media of this year was universally positive and even fucking Jamie Carraghers banging on about how much he loves it on sky sports.
  4. I don't enjoy the stress but I love the focused flow state I go into. If only I could translate into literally any other area of my life..
  5. Yeah....cost of living crisis only starting to bite and it's easy enough to put £50 deposit down, another all together to pay off the rest which may end up being £300+. I don't think we'll see the effect of CoL on tickets until payment week.

    Was at Finsbury Park on Friday, can't really remember someone had such a meteoric rise.
  7. Right I'm trusting the beeb and if they're wrong will not be paying my license fee
  8. From my experience they normally just hand in the tickets to the ticket office but that's not the official policy so is a bit of a risk. I would try and get in contact with See and explain the situation and see what they say.
  9. This is the graph I'm struggling to analyse most - limited toilet facilities mean it won't be pissing it down?
  10. Being committed enough to a festival to post on these forums but put off by a bit of rain is an interesting vibe.
  11. Anyone who's twisting on a (mostly) dry festival is hubristic in the extreme, and if greek tragedy taught us anything it's the gods don't look kindly on hubris
  12. mate change the record, have you posted anything other than total gloom about the weather?
  13. Didn't we agree that beeb this far out just takes average historical temps which is why it's all the same?
  14. I need to stop checking this thread, keeps filling me with dread

    Sober times

    I'm coming up to 6 months without a drink, think I'm going to drink at Glastonbury but will definitely have a few days off - I've had too many occasions over there years where I've been too out of it to remember a band and I look back at footage of the gig and regret not being fully present for it. It's really interesting reading the sober people who still dance/do karaoke even though they're not drinking. One thing I've found from recent period of sobriety is that once you do any of the things you used to do drunk sober you suddenly get a massive rush of self confidence and endorphins - even though it's awkward at first long term I think it's helped with my social anxiety. Would be great if the festival could get some kind of LA/NA beer on tap - I definitely get some kind of placebo affect from it of feeling relaxed but without any of the nasty bits!
  16. They were a game changer for me and gf, could easily sleep in till midday in 2019 and felt so much better as a result.
  17. Are there any smaller air tent pumps available? Love my F+B but was a bit of a pain lugging around the giant official red one.
  18. Yep, pretty much agree with this fully. Obviously it's fun to take the piss out of the Coachella crowd and personally I think it pales in comparison to Glastonbury, but I have no doubt that many of the attendees would absolutely despise Glastonbury. Equally the most ridiculous attendees stick out the most and we probably don't get to see the large amount of normal music fans who go. They're both 'festivals' in that they're both events that have a lot of live music but the similarities really end there as far as I can see. All that being said everyone should continue to post the influencers etc because it is also very funny.
  19. I genuinely cannot tell if this is parody or not
  20. Was pulled at APE this year from a sniffer dog who very intently sniffed my pocket which contained...my vape. They took me to one side and did a very cursory search and let me on my way - it was a third party security company who obviously didn't give a shit. In terms of being searched going into the festival itself, happened to me twice - once just caught the eye of a security guard randomly who took some laughing gas off me. Second time was going through with my parents, they patted my bag down a bit, took one look at my 60+ year old dad and said we were clearly just a nice family so let us through.
  21. It's kind of weird that they've gone for a California thing which makes sense with Snoop,Dre, Kenny but Em and Mary especially couldn't be much less west coast.
  22. Put in the same file as Republicans using born in the usa
