Singapore, checking in 🙂

Currently enjoying my first airport beer in 3 years 🙂

NZ government website was updated yesterday for pre departure Covid checks to come back. A few weeks ago 31 July was set as the date the requirement was to lifted… Now it says that date is still valid but recommends checking 1 week before flying in case something changes. I’m taking this as a positive (pun intended 😉 )

I put not at all. Not because I’m trying to be arse, I’m recently recovered from it (and up to date with boosters) so it’s highly unlikely to be a further risk for a while.

Where’s that wellies vs walking boots thread? I need to put in trainers and flip flops.

Here’s the lot as far as I can tell. Doesn’t include gaps in the schedules of course.

From the website…

Just got the Twitter…

There’s usually a ceremony at the stone circle to resurrect long dead efests threads.

Imagine being worse for wear and innocently attempting to use what you think are normal facilities, then… 😆

Halfway through Pam & Tommy. Also started on Yellowstone.

FTFY

Imagine if it’s for a song that doesn’t end up in the set list 🤣

Doesn’t it happen every year though that the stage times include previously unannounced acts? Including pseudonyms on occasion? Not saying you’re wrong, just trying to wrap my head ‘round the logic of it.

I’d check the sell-by date on those cans… 🤣

Re: miserably dressed. Aren’t pseudonyms generally used when the stage days/times are announced to cover up obvious gaps? Why on Earth would a pseudonym be on the poster?

Backstage part of the Pyramid/Other inter-stage area? Easy access for some surprise mega-star pop-ups? (Probably not gonna happen and I’m not hanging round there all day just in case)

There are rumblings that the need for a pre departure Covid test to return to NZ is under scrutiny. Getting it dropped would make me very happy as I have tickets for All Blacks vs Ireland the Saturday after Glasto 🍀

Right I’m going for 1 Wet Leg 2 Fontaines DC 3 Father John Misty

Agree with those three but also have Father John Misty and Orville Peck in the mix. I was expecting Rammstein to be close to the top of my list after the first single, but in the end it trails the 5 above. Still need to give Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, King Gizz and Regrettes a listen. Best month for new music in ages! When’s the deadline?

The Damned / Macca / Yola Subject to change of course, and I’m only picking from a small pool of highly probable/confirmed headliners. I’m ignoring for now, all the speculative ones that over the course of three efests pages go from “I’d quite like…”, to “We have info that…” and finally “Nailed on.” only to end up somewhere completely different. Further, still got time to catch a second headliner on the Sunday of course.
