Sorted 😁 I hinted at it a few times previously, but I now have very good reason to believe after next Thursday you won't see Arctic Monkeys perform (together) for a VERY long time. I would be delighted to be wrong and have egg all over my face, however.

Need one (standing) ticket for Arctic Monkeys in Dublin on Thursday October 19th, if anyone happens to hear of anything 🤞

Thanks all!

What is the go-to now for tents, in terms of best deals/quality? Decathlon? Mine finally met its demise last year. I'll be looking at a number of accommodation options, should I be successful, but if I go down the normal tent route I ideally want something I can stand up in and will probably go down the Fresh & Black route, based on what I've read/heard.

I haven't been in this thread for a little while, so apologies if this has been covered - but Blur seem to be cracking on touring this album, think it's South America at the end of the year? Surely Emily will be knocking on their door...

At what point can we categorically rule out the first weekend of October, after today? 👀 Asking for a friend who is now away that weekend

The cost is gonna be eye watering this time, isn't it? (not that it wasn't last time) 100% still worth it, but still..

Wait.. you don't HAVE to update the photo.. do you? I updated mine before last year's sale, so I just 'confirmed' that I wanted to keep my reg. Got me concerned now!

Interesting. You'd think November then, I guess (no pattern granted). Was there any reason why it actually shifted to November last year, or was that just a change they decided to make with no real reasoning? If it's the latter, then you'd think that is gonna become a permanent fixture

Do you know that, or just an educated guess. Looking at the 2020 sale, the announcement came around this time for an early October sale (I think)

I went on Saturday. Second time I've been when the festival isn't on (went in May last year as well) - it's such a nice, yet slightly surreal experience. I had my niece & nephew (3 & a half) with me this time which was very nice, so I didn't go too far - just the Pyramid field & Woodsies - nobody else on the farm (apart from a dozen cows).

Guessing it's just back to the normal working farm now? I'm potentially in the area on Saturday, quite fancy taking my niece & nephew if it's accessible Also, anyone got any nearby parking tips? The closer the better, with small legs in tow

My thoughts exactly. Dua Lipa + one of those would be where my money would be

I just tried putting £20 on Rhianna at 4/1 and they've suspended the market, missed it by seconds

Is that right that Rhianna was tentatively booked before getting pregnant, then in came Guns n Roses? Or have I made that up? A quick Google suggests that's right

Yep, hence 'either', not both 😉

Very interesting. If it is two female - surely they've bagged either Madonna or Rhianna?

I think purely on the basis of people putting 2 & 2 together and getting 5, with Noel's divorce. Yes, his wife was a big factor in it not happening, but by no means the only factor. IF it happens, it'll be 2025 (a reunion in general, God knows about Glastonbury). Liam is touring Definitely Maybe with John Squire, Bonehead + 2 more next summer. Led to believe him and Squire have also been recording together as well in recent months

I thought he was referring to the gap between TBHC & The Car, if I'm thinking of the same interview. I could be way off there though

I'm interested to see what comes next after these tour dates finish in October - I think either a third LSP album or possibly something solo. Longest AM hiatus to date incoming after this me thinks.

Another one here who loves his 'shtick' but I'd probably clap if he came out, farted, and walked off. Adore them I'm still pissed off I was behind the second speakers for the set, but I knew the risks getting a decent spot for Fred Again and watching the whole set. I still thought the set was fine, the Sculptures intro in the dark in particular comes across brilliant. I can see why the current form of AM may wind some up though, each to their own. I see Do Me a Favour made a return to the set last night. I'm seeing them a few times in the U.S in September, interested to see if the set changes at all

Enjoying the Justice/Underworld suggestions. Their sets in 2017/16, respectively, are some of my best memories on the farm. I'd welcome a return for either

Interested to see if Blur tour this album or not. Even if Damon is active elsewhere, I wouldn't rule Blur 2024 out, but if they decide to tour the album - Glastonbury will surely be knocking on their door

Is Sticklinch really that far? I camped in Dairy Ground this year and saw all the signs for it, it didn't seem that much further. Admittedly, the walk from SE corner is gonna be long; that's the same with normal campsites near Gate D anyway

Not much this year (had a brief moment early Sunday afternoon, on a solo stroll) I think mainly because I cocked up my Pyramid positioning a few times. I didn't feel quite as connected as 2022, Noel/McCartney got me good. I've found it happening with acts that mean a lot more and more in recent years though. Blur got me the other month and I lost all self-control when Arctic Monkeys dropped A Certain Romance in Sheffield. If a band means a lot to me, I find myself struggling with emotions these days; I don't think it's a bad thing, it's a natural reaction when something is special to you
