  1. Does balance payment need to be made on credit card or can we use international debit cards? Can't find anything about it online
  2. If you search 'Glastonbury 2024' in Spotify it supplies an algorithm based playlist of the lineup for you!
  3. Chappell Roan Waxahatchee CMAT Cymande The Smile Geese Palace Angie McMahon
  4. Very jealous that they played High Violet in full at their Perth show!
  5. Splendour in the grass lineup just released (19-21 July)
  6. The past two nights of shows in Melbourne have been incredible. I've seen them many times over the years and would say they're at their absolute best right now performance wise. The only song I was chasing that they didn't play was Secret Meeting. New track Bat Child sounds great, quite heavy. Super excited that next time seeing them will be worthy farm! Do we have any rumours/ideas on slot yet, other stage headliner?
  7. No joy for me from Australia, anyone else lucky? I'll take it as the stars aligning for me to return in '24 for Taylor Swift ✨
  8. I think this video is what I'm thinking of from years gone by, hazy memory on the trucks but I remember having to jump out of the way of one (1.24 in video but may have been different types in various years) There used to be loads of performers in the crowd and around/on the spider.
  9. How many years ago was it that Arcadia was in SE corner and had a full theatrical headline show? I remember it being incredible and having monster trucks tearing through the crowds with performers on top and above. The show itself was the thing to go and see, rather than any specific DJs.
  10. I saw security pulling people out of the crowd after setting them off and was wondering what happens afterwards... Do they get a warning? Kicked out of the festival?
  11. Safe travels everyone! I'm glad I'm here for a while longer as I'm still in bed absolutely dying from Glastonbury/post festival flu, would not have been able to fly this week!
  12. The smaller Aussie festivals of around 15k capacity are awesome, you can bring your booze in (no arenas as per glasto), drive into the campsites and set up right next to your car (no lugging stuff around, leading to insane levels of fully furnished camps featuring sofas, cocktail bars etc, you can stumble into great parties) Happy to give recommendations/answer questions if anyone is interested! The larger ones that attract international acts aren't worth it IMHO, very expensive/corporate and don't match up to European standards.
  13. My review is that the tent was almost too good - kept sleeping for 12 hours and missing all the bands I'd intended to see in the morning/early afternoon 😆
  14. Anyone know what happened to Folamour? One of the sets I was most excited for, skipped headliners to get to SE corner early and got a good spot at Gas Tower, then nothing 😞 Stayed there for whoever was the replacement, followed by Fatboy Slim but really missed my disco fix this festival. Otherwise I enjoyed the KH set at BBC Introducing and Job Jobse at San Remo. Loved San Remo as the sound was actually good outside, unlike lonely hearts (too quiet) and glade (awful soundbleed)
  15. I'm not packing wellies and struggling to decide how many pairs of sunglasses to bring 🌞

    BBC2 9pm

    This is making me so excited!
  17. Great, thanks for that! Good to know it's not as bad as it looks, will just need to figure out where to get dropped off closeby.
  18. I noticed today that Digbeth high street is completely closed to traffic for construction but can't find any info online about the disruptions/coach location. My tickets are booked from Digbeth coach station so presume this hasn't changed but access looks like a nightmare, not sure how to get dropped off. Anyone else travelling from there and have any ideas?
  19. Went out drinking until 4am to remain pissfit. Really need to start packing!
  20. Possibly burna boy into megan?
  21. How does the NYC Downlow re-entry work? I've been before but couldn't figure it out after leaving and seeing the huge queue - is it purely keeping hold of the moustache and skipping to the front? Or a separate entry point?
  22. I have my fingers crossed for everyone worried about flight cancellations, hope all your journeys run smoothly 🤞🙏

    The Avalanches

    I saw them live last year playing mostly the new album and it was bloody brilliant! Definitely keen to see them again at The Park as I loved it so much. In answer to your point about the new album being slower, it came across as incredibly euphoric dance music and definitely much heavier sounding with huge bass. It was absolutely a huge party set with the crowd non stop dancing but the atmosphere was definitely informed by it being one of the first big gigs in Melbourne post lockdown so everyone was cutting loose. That being said, I don't see the Glastonbury crowd as being any different! I'm hoping they bring on some guest singers who are already at the farm like Leon Bridges but we'll see!
  24. My journey from Melbourne begins! Wishing you all safe and stress free travels. See you at worthy farm very soon! What a bloody great time we're going to have 😍
  25. Cried while packing and heading to Melbourne airport. Glastonbury is always emotional but combining it with seeing family and friends for the first time in three years due to the pandemic and it's a little overwhelming. See you all there soon 🎉
