  1. I got two tickets on different days from different locations :)   

    a friend wanted a thursday coach ticket so i went for that first and got through around 6.05

    after some time celebrating it must have at least been 6 15 i clicked back out and started refreshing again for my other friend who had still not got a Wednesday departure 

    few minutes of repeated f5's and made it to payment in time

    never felt adrenaline like it, so happy. all our group confirmed and attending now

  2. after moz's rant about Michael Eavis censoring the footage of 'Meat is Murder' when he subbed U2 back in 2011, its highly unlikely Glastonbury would book him ever again.

    Mexrrissey would be great fun though, hopefully they are there as well as the Smyths in Williams Green again

  3. Interview with Tim Booth in the NME....

    What do you have planned for your Other Stage opening slot at Glastonbury?
    “It’s gonna be fun. We haven’t been there in years. We thought they didn’t like us anymore, and maybe they don’t! We’re gonna make a big deal out of it and do something special for it. A bottle of champagne on a ship’s hull might be the appropriate response. ‘I name this festival…’.”

    It’s become a prestige slot.
    “So we’ve been told. Glastonbury’s clearly the festival to play, we’ve played there many times. We were second to the headliner one year. We love playing Glastonbury and it’s great 

    What can you remember about replacing Morrissey on the bill back in ’92?
    “I think he got one of his ailments and they asked us to step in. We opened with ‘We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful’, which is a song he wrote about us, so that was a high piece of narcissism on our part. We had a good gig and I don’t think they were too upset by the fact that it wasn’t Morrissey.”

    Will you be sticking around this year?
    “Yes, we probably will. Most of us are always curious about Glastonbury, there’s so much to see and so many different fields. Before it gets too chaotic over the Saturday and Sunday we’d quite like to stick around, certainly Friday, maybe a lot longer.”

    Will you be heading for the Green Fields for all the alternative therapies and ideologies?
    “I think you’ve got the wrong band. We’re more likely to head towards the orgy field.”

    That’s where it is.
    “Oh fine, yes, then we’ll be in the Green Fields.”

    What makes Glastonbury special?
    “It’s the variety of experience. You don’t have to be at the main stage the whole time you’re there, there’s so much going on, so many different events. It’s become such a tradition it should almost be a public holiday. The variety of styles going on, too, makes it special. Most festivals get genre-fied, stuck in one genre. At Glastonbury you can find whatever you want.”

    Vessels have been self confirmed for the Glade on saturday. Do yourselves a favour and go and see them. They are stunning live.

    just listened to the track dentalplan posted in the other thread, lovely stuff

    how high will they play though? could they headline the glade?

    What's Bez Acid House tent like guys? If it's good I've got a feeling I will be spending a lot of time in there.....

    if there's an act listed you want to see make your way down there early

    the queue for 808 state at half 3 sunday morning was ridiculous, we had to go elsewhere <_<

    I am insane thinking this could be a possibility:

    Adele is the headliner, Radiohead play after.

    Prime time BBC for Adele, Radiohead kill it after

    sounds good until I remember that would mean having to miss new order

    no thanks :D
