The little venues in Shangri La where definitely the late night highlights for me, Shangrilati and Plutos especially, thought Bezs acid hiuse was great this year aswell.
Previous 2 years I thought Hell was brilliant but just walked past it this year too busy and know one on the line really appealing to me. Watched JeSuS and Craig Charles in Heaven and just didn't work for me.
I terms of improving the late night entertainment, I think The Common could squeeze another decent sized tent into it, maybe even another little bar. Also as people have mentioned Rocket dinner etc could make way for a better venue, I'd to see the part of Shangri La with the food stalls expanded backwards if at all possible making way for one or 2 more venues, a latter running Arcadia or a smaller tent nearby would help with spreading the crowd as would another venue in The Park.

The Other Stage needs a major rework I think loads of sound bleed coming from Arcadia and The Glade, really poor vocal levels on all the acts I seen there and generally terrible atmosphere unless you where quite clpse to the front.

Didn't any major trouble tbh no actually fighting a few people exchaning words Sunday night but thats to be expected after 5 nights in Glasto, a Women tried start an argument with us in the Downlow Wednesday night when we asked the 2 lads she was with to stop throwing cans of larger across the table towards us, they'd just had 1 too many and didn't realise what they where doing. Women was obviously looking for somewhere to vent her anger though haha (weird she was middle aged and looked quite 'well to do' aswell), a quick sing and dance in the Krishna tent on our way back the tent raised all our spirits again though

Around 11 of us camped in Oxylers for the 3rd year running, and didn't here any stories of anyone near us being robbed (though we all tend to keep money/phones on us 24/7), never had any problems on that campsite. Infact the only slightly negative thing there for us this year was the obnoxious group of Australians & cockneys by us who didn't seem to leave there tents for half the festival.

1. Motorhead
2. Mark Ronson
3. Erm Lily Allen?
-
Other Stage opener is The Charlatans. They ain't gonna sub.
I think it'll be Elbow, and I'll happily miss them after seeing them last year.
No Motorhead to sub with an extended slot, with who evers pencilled in to opener the Other Stage, given a slot on the pyramid, most likely before Motorhead
Easiest thing for the bookers to do with maybe giving slightly extended sets to he Alabama Shakes and James Bay.
I'd say it either that scenario or, moving Ronson from the other to the Pyramid and giving a longer set to the Courteeners and Vaccines on the other
-
Other Stage Openers given a Pyramid slot, with Motorhead given an extended set.
Another band performing somewhere else given the Other Stage opening slot, similar to Kaiser Chiefs last year.
Will be very surprised if any new acts who aren't already playing somewhere are booked in.
-
Any word on who the special guest is in the Rabbit Hole Thursday night at 00:30, think people where suggesting Fatboy last week
-
I'd say it was cheap tbf, a very fair price to park your car for 5/6 days.
I'd pay it just to be drooped at the gate and not have to get the shuttle bus.
-
Came out around the 6th last year,about a week later the year before.
Hopefully it will be out before the end of the week, start planning acts properly

Leftfield tent can't recall what day. Billy Bragg doing a typical political speech, pissed up fella behind me shouts
'Oh just sing a fuckin song ay Billy'
-
The que at gate A Wednesday morning, women on the phone presumably on the phone to one of her kids she was separated from, in a thick yorkshire shouts down the phone
"I'm looking for you, so stop giving me jib!"
-
Nick Grimshaw at the Hell Stage late friday night and some actress off games of thrones who dont remember the name of the next day
-
Was brilliant, one of the highlights of the festival for sure. Amazing atmosphere inside and David Morales DJ set was probably the best I heard all weekend. Remember speaking to a security guard in the smoking bit an hour in and there was still a 2 hour que outside, gutted for those who couldn't get in
-
London Underground definitely does, bring a torch though very nearly sat on a mountain of shit in one of there portaloos last year
-
Klaxons or Franz Ferdinand am going for.
Ricky Gervais not been ruled out?
-
Didn't see one bit of trouble on both days we where there, and will be going again next year, great line up especially for the price.
Any festival that's less than 10 minutes from a city centre is going to attract an increased number of idiots though
-
Fat boy, Richie Hawtin?
-
Anyone come across any tent (3/4 man) dor walking boot bargains lately?
Want to get all my gear sorted by the end of the week
