Messaged Car Seat Headrest on Facebook, asking if they are doing UK Festivals, and they replied "I think we will!"
Hope they make it to Glastonbury. Their new album was awesome.
Really scraping the barrel for bands names now aren't we?

First fail in 7 attempts. One of our group put payment details in but got booted. On the plus side I've had success in the resale one year getting one extra ticket so I should stay hopeful but to be honest, I feel like shit. Well done to everyone here who was successful.

Great read. Thanks.

Apple is your problem there I think.

Sure they played Wembley last time they were over here.
Yeah they did. I went to that gig and loved it. It was my first time seeing The Killers but it was the James and Gaslight Anthem support that swayed me to get a ticket at the last minute. It was a brilliant day. And seeing a band at Wembley is always an experience.

How were Bears Den? Big fan of theirs, but they clashed with Gregory Porter, I've seen BD live a couple of times already and I've got tickets to their Manchester gig in November, so decided to see the big man instead.

They were beautifully brilliant. Trying to find some footage of it on YouTube or somewhere to relive some of it but can't find any yet.
And agreed, the new music sounded absolutely great. It was my first time seeing them and I can't wait till the next time. They were so humble and evidently bowled over by the occasion and the reception they got which only added to the emotion.

After reporting no Glastonbury toe, I can confirm I have a delayed case. Started yesterday, numbness in the tip of my left big toe. No pain or anything. Weird.

I did 106 miles from Wed - Mon morning. No wonder everything from the knees down was hurting by Saturday
Wow. That's impressive and will be tough to beat I reckon.
We did just under 40 miles Weds-Sun. Our busiest day being 11.5 miles on the Friday.

My biggest disappointment this year was how little I ate. The mud really did put me off trekking to our favourite food places or wandering off to get a cheeky snack or treat. Instead we found ourselves buying our meals conveniently and without much thought. It was more eat when you need to rather than because you'd like to which was a huge shame for me.
On the plus side the crab shack was a new find (next to the cornish arms) and did a lovely crab meat roll.

No glastonbury toe for me this year strangely. I wore £8 Dunlop wellies for 5.5 days straight (with memory foam insoles) for their 6th glastonbury outgoing. I'm impressed that my feet are in prefect condition tbh. In fact physically, I'm the best I've ever been post festival. Maybe the pilates actually paid off.

I'm no Coldplay fan, far from it but circumstances lead to us being there to watch them and I have to say, Wow. What a show. It was brilliant from start to finish and left me all a bit emotional if I'm honest. So glad I was there to witness that and I apologise to Coldplay for repeatedly calling them dull over the years.

I spent most of Sunday trying to hold it together.
Firstly to Bear's Den "The Love We Stole"
Secondly to Heaton and Abbot Caravan of Love
Thirdly to Years and Years when he made a little speech about pride.
But come Sunday night when I unexpectedly found myself watching Coldplay I quickly realised I wasn't going to be able to contain it anymore. When the intro to The Scientist started, I was gone. Floods of tears streaming down my face that didn't stop for the rest of the set.
I'm not a crier but that place does something to you that cannot be explained or really understood and we're all the better for it, I believe.

I'm there for this!

From a friend on site just now.....
Arrived today, it's muddy in places but not the worst I've seen. Drying out but the camping areas are okay at the moment

Not really, other than the ibuprofen. I've found keeping topped up helps so taking it every 4 hours regardless of if it's flared up or not. Also throw in some paracetamol too, as is safe to take both together.

It's at gate C but I'd take the hill of death at gate C over the looooong, continuous, steep climb to gate B any day. Last year we ended at B for some reason and going home was horrible.
We camp in kidney mead also. The Hill of mild inconvenience is your friend, believe me.

So glad this story had a happy ending. Brilliant news.

Just to be clear... would love to give the ticket away for free - and if I had got a free guest pass then I would, however there was a cost involved so the ticket I'm getting rid of would actually be for sale rather than giveaway. Although open to offers re the price as understandably is a bit of a risk as to whether the person would get in or not.
Why would you shell out money for a guest pass when you'd already got a normal ticket?

From what I've heard it's not that hard to get in on someone else's ticket... as long as you're the right sex / hair colour you've got a pretty good chance
......and on your free ticket it would be worth taking a chance I guess if you lived close by.

Aw, you're going to give your ticket away as you now have a guest ticket. That's kind. Now just need to find someone who looks just like you.

Anyone have any tips/advice on Rock in Rio Lisboa? Looking forward to attending this one as my first festival abroad.
