  1. Were Idles rumoured for Woodsies? Would have been a better fit, they hardly packed the field 3rd down last time. Them against Fontaines makes no sense. Am I misremembering one year where someone was labelled the headliner for the Other but played 2nd from top and a dance act closed the stage? I know they do it at IOW but can't remember if that's been the case at Glastonbury

    Strong rumour on site is that TBA is Snapped Ankles 

    They would be a good late addition! English teacher are on the official Greenman Spotify playlist but can’t see them on the line up? Would also be a nice late bonus

    Don't mind paying a premium as long as I'm given the choice of having something half decent.

    Was paying £6.60 for pissweak Amstel at Arctic Monkeys at Hillsborough. Only lager on the menu. Grim. 

    Sold in them cups that have a chemical taste to them 🤢 only had the one pint in there 

  4. Can see a lot of people turning up to see him cause he’s a big name for that slot and then talking through his set. Will give it a go myself then head over to the park for Los Bitchos

    I think you could say that about any area tbh 😅

     I did think this too but its just sounds funny 😂 ! This will be my 8th and there's still plenty of places I haven't visited once 

  6. The more I see from pictures the worse it gets. If its because of cuts I'd rather they just had a bar / more food stalls. The little hut with the signs on and picnic benches is more appealing than some old cars stood up

    I'm soooo conflicted on Arctic Monkeys. Currently re-watching the 2013 set while I catch up on some work that I should have done earlier but ended up proglastinating. My first Glasto headliner. I've never actually watched the set back since being there live. Bringing back all the feels! It was flipping amazing. I really love them, and part of me really wants to be there again. Because if they play a similar set of old bangers, then I'm going to have severe FOMO. But if I chance it and they play the new snooze stuff (which I do like but not on Friday night at the pyramid) then I'm going to be disappointed to say the least. Recent reviews are really putting me off and 2013 was just such a moment for me I just don't know if they can live up to it uhhhhh....I really don't know!!!!

    They were my first headliner too and they've been my favourite band for the past 15 years. Live they're more miss than hit for me but I'll still be there. The setlist for their European shows haven't been great, I'm hoping they change it up a little once they get under way over here. Who would you see instead of them?

    Also, thinking about it now, but does Darble become super unattractive to people if they have to do a loop just to get out of their campsite. Seems totally unnecessary. You have to go around just to get into the festival proper.

    You'd expect a walk way along the hedge line but yeah its still not great

    I think people finally  figured out that camping in one of the central parts of the fest is ideal. 

    I take it Oxylers fills up fairly quickly?

  10. Yeah I'm not happy about Pylon going all crew camping. We get the coach and Gate A now has cycling, crew, family, accessible and hospitality all close by and only really Darble for general. Bushy isn't too far but will obviously fill quicker now

    Will do, as long as I'm not working!

    We do 24 hours in total over the festival, in 4 hour shifts, and usually with one 8 hour overnight in there as well. Occasionally you'll get an 8 hour block in day as well. It's pretty good really.

    Ah yeah that is really good. Good to know for future years

    I'm on the Lockups crew, been doing that for a few years now!

    What are the shifts for this like? I had a possibility of getting them this year if I hadn't been successful in resale. Didn't enquire too much as was always going to try the resale

    Well their older material just draaaaags in their recent tours. I love Crying Lightning as much as the next guy but somehow they suck the life out of these songs live. Same goes for Fluorescent sadly... Way too much AM too. Lose an Arabella or Snap Out Of It for once... 

    Yeah Crying Lighting, Arabella, Why'd you only call and Don't sit down can all get dropped. All featured heavily when I saw them in 2014 and 2018 and they're still on the set. Any chance of Hellcat or That's where you're wrong?! I'd even drop Do I wanna know, love the song but if they can drop Mardy Bum and When the sun goes down then no reason that can't be dropped!

    Only Jerkin were in West Holts and were absolutely magnificent - gonna break my 'only eat one meal from a stall' rule and go there twice, cos bah gawd it was good 

    Had been saving it for the Sunday last year and although I enjoyed it at the time, it repeated on me all day 😏 ! Will give it a try earlier on this year 

  15. Yeah they'll get a message saying tickets have already been purchased. At least they'll still be on the booking page and can enter someone else's details. Keeping the spreadsheet up to date is best way of stopping it but it can never be perfect
