On BBC2 now, nice prog

Yeah I was thinking West Holts headliner for Alicia, nice & cosy, but I guess that'd get too rammed

Would absolutely love to see Alicia at the farm - maybe next year 🤞

Lou Reed with Gorillaz was a bit of moment.... and The Edge with Muse.....? Neither playing elsewhere those years AFAIR. John Paul Jones with Seasick Steve? Probably some much bigger ones too but those surprised me at the time

It’s just the odd bit of drizzle - if dressed inappropriately, head up to Lost Horizons and strip off for a free natural shower! All good 😄

Isn’t it obvious now? Good grief… 😆

Thanks for that ilovelanegan - that might be a real possibility!

Tubes in London won't really start running until 8am on the Wednesday because of the tube strike on Tuesday 21st. I'm booked on the coach from the O2 at 9am Wednesday, and will struggle to get there by then (I'm in west London). Can't get there Tuesday and stay over because *everything's* on strike... Does anyone know if coaches wait for remaining passengers at all? Maybe they would with all this delay going on? And if not..... and I could find another way to the festival (a mate's car perhaps).... will I be able to get my admission ticket from the box office? (Just a little panic setting in now...)

Yeah it's perry (pear cider) with various syrup additions - personally, I love it! Toffee Apple breakfast is my start to the day....

Giving clues at the eFests Wednesday meet if we buy you enough drinks......?

He's playing Dublin and Belfast on the Saturday / Sunday, so unlikely I reckon

The info online says not to take more than 6 Nurofen in any 24hr period, so I'd be very wary of following this advice. But if he's a pharmacist who's doing it, guess he must know that his body can handle it.... https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/5646/smpc#gref

His new song is pretty decent - possible return to form?

First of the posters with days and the running order - wonder if that’ll be true for the remaining ones, and then we can really start fretting over the clashageddon

First poster with what looks like the actual days and running order!

I seem to remember he pulled out and ended up not appearing in the end, which was a shame. Anyone else remember and can confirm / deny? edit: it’s true! https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/festivals/glastonbury-2015-stephen-hawking-pulls-out-of-festival-due-to-personal-reasons-10349017.html #slownewsdayuntil10oclock

Oh wow there is! (or at least was!) Never noticed that - ta Mr Z

Spike quite a bit bigger and more open apparently - hopefully still with a stage (maybe even a bigger stage?) I thought the Glade Café/Bar was on the other side, as you head past Spike towards Greenpeace? And the bar between Glade & Other was not really linked - was it called the Solstice Bar or something?

Yeah I was worried about that too, since there's no mention at all of any acts for the Spike. They used to have real (good!) bands there before as well - hope they still do in their new expanded form, had some great boogies up there....

Well I guess if you were going to see just one act at WH, that'd be the one! What an incredible performance

One of my top Glasto spots too, but my mates' routine starts earlier: we have a habit of gathering at WH as soon as it's starting (11 normally) for a breakfast Toffee Apple cider from the Bro's, with hopefully something chilled yet groovy and a bit jazz-worldy just coming on stage. What a perfect start to the day! (And it usually just gets better from there....)

Dear old Jeremy Hardy, what a loss. Managed to talk to him briefly at his last Glasto appearance, what a lovely guy, and incredibly funny
