He hasn't done for a few years, sadly, but there is a bit of a gap in his 50 Years of Otway & Barrett Tour that would make it possible..... Should have asked him at the gig in Newport last month, he was on very fine form with Willy, who is very local to the fest.... it could happen!

Interesting to see Gabrielle Aplin playing here as well as Avalon - means I can hopefully avoid one more clash and still catch her....

I find that two of these plus a pint of water plus a 1000mg vitamin C tablet before bed sorts me out nicely for the next day (don't believe the 'great taste' bit 😄 ): https://www.amazon.co.uk/R-S-Hydration-Electrolyte-Tablets-Blackcurrant/dp/B00NGTCKWS?th=1

Wow, brilliant revamp, excellent resource for all us Glastonerds everywhere!! Many thanks to you both! 🙏

Why does that just sound so bloody familiar at the moment...... #brexitBritain

Agree with this, but.... we don't actually know yet that this late-payment system will be carried through to the next main ticket/deposit sale It could be just being used for this resale to completely guarantee that we don't see a repeat of the payment-failure debacle in last year's main ticket/coach deposit sale. Then when it's all fixed and tested, we'll go back to the normal pay-as-you-book system we know and, er, love 🤞

So if you do that, you pay just one £9.75 "transaction fee" for all six, instead of £9.75 each? That seems like a good saving! There's a few drinks in that bonus!

Brilliant - don't often go to see the serious talky stuff but this guy and his organization are just brilliant. Unmissable!

Last time they were booked, in 2015, they were tea-time on the Acoustic.... and sadly didn't turn up Hopefully this year will work out better, but I'd be quite surprised if they're given a very prominent slot in the light of that experience tbh

Weyes Blood playing Colours Fest in Bexhill on the Saturday - could make the journey over to the farm the day before or day after I imagine - certainly hope so!

Oh yes, I was at that too - fantastic gig! Hope they come back some day. Saw them at Lafayette last year, but the atmosphere at Glasto in the Avalon tent was better, with the band walking through the crowd and throwing their instruments to each other mid-song, just great.

I loved the ELO spot too, but yeah there's plenty here would rather have been watching the paint dry on the cow-sheds!

I balked at Peter Gabriel's So - Back to Front tour in 2014 at £50, which I really wanted to see, when a lot of O2 concerts were still around the £30 mark ...then a mate had a spare ticket that he let me have for £25 so I saw it anyway! Not going to see PG on his new tour this year at those silly prices though (unless you have one to sell again Paul.....?) Most I ever paid was a bit over £100 to see The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan on the same bill at O2 in 2017 (sadly Walter Becker passed away a couple of months before the gig). Not sure if that even counts as 'a single gig', but it was a great evening and didn't regret it for a second. Haven't paid that much since then though, and with Glasto success again this year I don't expect I will...

Very unlikely, surely? She's only in this country for one date in October for that tour

Madonna touring her Greatest Hits next year, but just one date in UK in October, so she's not going to be there

One million people-fun-days!! Not bad.... 😁

Yep it does - but it strangely sounds very little like Everything But The Girl imho - Tracey's voice almost unrecognisable since Temperamental / Walking Wounded If they play, I wonder how her new very soulful vocal style would sit with the earlier songs

You may well be being ironic, but I'll bite anyway.... Saw the Doobies a couple of years ago and the set was epic, would go down a storm..... especially if you include some Michael McDonald solo stuff. Many might not know these by name, but take a listen and if you were around, you'll know them: Long Train Runnin', Listen to the Music, China Grove, You Belong To Me, Little Darling (I Need You), Minute By Minute, What A Fool Believes (as mentioned), Sweet Freedom, Yah Mo Be There, I Keep Forgettin', On My Own.... (good opportunities for some guest vocal appearances there too for extra vibes) And all the Doobie stuff is very funky and accessible, it'd be a blast, I'd love it for sure

Doing Van Morrison! Just shows the vast gulf between those two 'talents'.... soz Georgie....

Happy New Year to all eFesters!! Less than six months until Heaven's doors are open again... 2023's gotta better than 2022 for sure, so things are looking up by that logic (ever the optimist....) 🍹

Yeah I used the one at the back of the Pyramid field this year and there were a few queues of several people, but nothing more than about a 10-15min wait at any time - the lock-ups as so great! Such lovely people (these were the Welsh CND crowd) running them too!

Oh I assumed they were all but confirmed! You probably know better then me, I’ll just head over to the Legend thread and do some homework…

Ooh great: Weyes Blood Lana del Rey Aimee Mann Anna Calvi Regina Spektor … oh all female singers! Ha, but then I’m very happy with Reg & Roxy who are already known

Yes agreed - so much easier than the main sale, and they seem to have fixed the payment problems as my NatWest card went through this time (failed in the general sale)

I'm no expert, but isn't it groundsheet beneath and canvas on top? 😄
