The current system is fine, shouldn’t be changed, sells out each year. The current system doesn’t benefit people holding multiple registrations, a ballot would. Policing it would be impossible. There is always a way.

I wonder if FBS on Saturday night at the glade might be too small a stage? Was at the park last year and it was super busy, and the park is nowhere near as conveniently located. I guess the fact he’s up against Gossip, Disclosure and Peggy Gou might split the electronica crowd somewhat.

Seventh line down on glade dome lineup

I agree, it’s a shame to not have something deeper to get involved in. Maybe elsewhere on site…?

I don’t get it?

It actually doesn’t… Putting OCS up against SZA almost guarantees a crush at the acoustic of the 40+ crowd.

Another year & no Rightfield. Inclusive my a$$.

While I’m not concerned about the lineup and the impact on my having a great festival. I just got a Facebook reminder of me posting the poster drop 11 years ago for the 2013 festival. The difference in quality is astounding. Admittedly, I’m now looking at it through 2024 eyes, but the depth is truly amazing of the acts.

There is not one person who is returning their ticket purely in the strength of the first poster. Not one. Some may have another factor in play and the lineup is the clincher, but I’ll wager you can measure them in low double digits. Anyone who has been before won’t be. Anyone who has previously missed out won’t be. Anyone who is at least cognoscente of the fact that a ticket is far from guaranteed any year won’t be. I could be wrong* *I’m not

To echo what’s been said above: Faithless in whatever incarnation, at the glade, on Thursday, unopposed will be daft, beyond stupid, irresponsible. Have to imagine this means that there will be a number of similar sized acts at the same time around the site. Anything else in lunacy. But, if this is the case that Thursday is becoming more of a 4th day of music with options around the site in the evening, then I’m all for it! Keen to know which other faithless sized acts will be on the bill on Thursday evening!

Black Keys said last year that basically it really isn’t that big a deal for American artists. And it pays badly by comparison to any other festival. Point is, if TayTay is all about the money and feels she can get $30m for festival appearances, Glastonbury really isn’t in her agenda.

Look, everyone has their own experiences, so not disputing your comments. But it was gridlocked for a good 5 minutes at the back of the field. The problem being that while there is a good number of exits, the location of WH means that you don’t want to take the wrong exit to your next act, as correcting that mistake will be a long walk. Some people on the left wanted to go right and vice versa, plus with good weather comes people sat on the floor, so it can funnel crowds. Coupled with a lot of curious late(r) arrivals and it was pretty dense round the edges. Anyway, just my observation.

After the performance leaving was

One of only two times in 20 years of going that I thought this is a bit dangerous. The other being Example last year.

Not just big in Asia, second biggest selling artist worldwide after TayTay last year
