Yay Paul ?

Could the pyramid expansion not just be for Di Ross?
Hugely exciting booking for the festival, legend slot always rammed- and have 7000 extra tickets to fit in?
seems more likely than a Coldplay afternoon slot to me?
-
I wouldn’t be opposed to Kendrick/Taylor/1975, but when has the festival not had at least one long established/heritage act.
The last time I can think of that they didn’t have one band that was formed pre 95 was maybe 2008 with KOL, the Verve and Jay Z.
Not saying it’s necessary, but GF clearly try and book one well established/heritage act so would be a surprise if they didn’t on any year, not because it’s the 50th

Just before she announced that as well, the chap who was talking to Clara he said something about Coldplay being 'secret squirrels'
And squirrels was the first clue this morning for the golden tickets
Wasn’t “secret squirrel” the code name for Chris Martin (and Nick Cave) when they appeared with Kylie last year?
Hopefully it’s just referring to that and nothing more

New there would be some sort of issue!
as you where

Apologies if this has already been mentioned- I didn’t have mental strength to read the last 20 pages since I previously viewed this thread.
I read the earlier idea of having to log in at 9am on the Sunday with your reg number, and then everybody that’s logged in randomly gets the chance to buy up to 6 tickets and though it might be a good idea, making it a fairer process but rewarding those who are genuinely motivated to go an ensure they are sat by their pc at the given time.
And then read the issue that many people with more foresight than me raised- that you’d have people with loads of reg numbers gaming the system.Could this potentially be negated by having a National Insurance number associated to your reg number. Would Possibly ensure one application per user?
One obvious problem with this is that it might restrict the festival to only UK goers (which shouldn’t be considered). Wondered if there’s any potential work around and any other obvious issues? ?♂️

Gotta say- I’m really surprised that FM have been ruled out.
I was at the Wembley show and when they made their “we’ll see you in a muddy field next year” it really did sound like a GF confirmation.
Wonder what that was all about ?♂️

No probs. I really enjoyed running it this year. It made my year away a lot more bearable as I still kind of feel like I was involved!
Top top work Mr Flow.
Thanks for all your hard work over the weekend!

Beans on Toast (Jay McAllister) is usually knocking around in some bar or other, bumped into him a few times- lovely guy

This is quite a feat sir!
Congrats, hope you make it to the farm, you certainly deserve to

Hi guys, long time reader, just wondered, is there any reason that Tom Petty's name isn't been thrown around at all?
Hasn't (to my knowledge) done it before- although I'm ready to be corrected.
I know he hasn't played a show in 6 months, but I was just thinking and can't see any strong evidence to totally rule him out...
Not sure he was ever rumoured so Emily's comment about the act being on the bookies list goes against him, as does potentially the idea he could be a "Rock" headliner.
So if someone could tell me why he's ruled out that'd be great
-
Pretty week announcement for me, lots of good bookings, just missing the real excitement of a special booking, although Kendrick as a sub is interesting.
Not convinced me to buy a ticket
-
Just checked the list of rumours, I see I'm way behind the times in thinking this is news!
-
No idea, haven't read the thread in a little while, not sure if this is old news.
Just passing on anything that may be of interest.
-
Little more info, expect Ash and New Found Glory along with the expected Maccabees and Frank Turner.
Afraid I don't know if FT is a sub though
-
Not that it tells you very much anyway
-
2 but it was more gloating that they known than informing.
At the risk of sound like Neil I've no reason to doubt them
-
Sorry mate, its not what I'd call good news either
-
Hi guys, long time reader, first time poster.
Not sure if this is news or not, source I've mine says Limp Bizkit will be playing (not sure where)
Also, was told that Libertines will be there, though I know this has been discussed to death already
Thank a stranger thread

Arrived on the Thursday evening with my six month pregnant wife, really nervous about how she’d cope. She’s a teacher so hadn’t been able to get the the weds/thurs off and had to travel down after work.
Expecting to spend hours tracking round trying to find a spot for our medium sized tent, but as soon as we walked through the gate, friendly stewards took one look at the bump and led her off for a cup of tea whilst helping me find a spot and put the tent up.
It made such a difference- and the grin on her face as we struggled with tent poles that have seen better days was one of my festival highlights
