  1. Rancid? Are in Europe around that time. They have 2 UK dates but still might count as a UK festival exclusive
  2. I felt awful yesterday (fever and aching all over) and tested positive this morning. Several others in the group have cold symptoms but no one else has had a positive test. Maybe there was another bug going around?
  3. So your thinking wellies then?
  4. Craig Charles has just said he's heard a rumour that The Smile will be at Glastonbury...

    Snacks

    Lidl are selling bags of these for 79p so I've brought a few of them and some dried fruit to keep me going during the day
  6. Spotting Big Jeff at the same gig as you has always been vindication you are in the right place. Wishing him a speedy recovery
  7. Metronomy are great, on the Other Stage Saturday. They are the band I'm most gutted about missing as I'll be watching Self Esteem at John Peel. Grace Petrie at the Avalon the same day for a lovely bit of folk. I'm struggling a bit of the Sunday too, although Amyl and the Sniffers into Turnstile might be the best couple of hours of the weekend for me
  8. Stolen from Reddit- prices at Download Festival
  9. Nova Twins and Bob Villan have Earache in brackets after their listings, so there might be more to come from that stage
  10. Booked the Tuesday after off work. I thought I could ride out the recovery whilst working from home but booking it off will reduce the anxiety of getting off site on the Monday. Getting paid next week so the festival shopping can begin then
  11. Tents left at festivals have a huge environmental impact. I've posted an article below that goes into it in more detail, there will also be plenty of signposts and videos at the festival that encourage you to take them home too https://theconversation.com/the-environmental-cost-of-abandoning-your-tent-at-a-music-festival-120198
  12. I did the same thing after your post as mine weren't showing on the order tracker and was told they are being sent to the lead booker too. Don't they usually go to the registration address?
  13. Started mine this weekend, you'll probably recognise a lot of ideas from other threads on this forum
  14. My wife went to Glastonbury 2016 as her first festival and didn't like it- too big, and no doable for her in shit weather. She's since been to 2000 Trees several times and loves it because it's so much smaller and caters more to her taste in music Not sure if that proves or disproves your point tbh!
