Absolutely brutal. 0/23 for us. One member of our 6 got through to payment twice, kicked out at payment both times. On one of those occasions a second member of the group got through to payment, and was not allowed to process as a "purchase was in progress" for their details. Not seen one like it.

Confidence Man just ripped the (newly added and delightfully furnished) roof off KOKO. If you are catching them on this UK jaunt then you are in for a treat.

I don't think it's a case of PT not wanting to "tick the Glastonbury box" - more that I am not sure if any Glasto areas would book them. A unique band who can sell out Wembley Arena, but probably would be unknown to at least approx. 75-80% of Glasto attendees.

I couldn't imagine them making an appearance - can't see them fitting in anywhere, as much as it would be incredible (cannot wait for next Friday!) Download maybe?

Manchester Orchestra at Kentish Town tonight - sublime. One of the very best live bands in the business on top, top form.

Definitely not just the back corner!

There's absolutely not a chance a VONC will be successful in the terms of resulting in a GE. The Tories are the most self serving bunch of crooks going. The latest poll had them 14 points down - they'd be turkeys voting for Christmas if any voted against Boris. They'll all come crawling back and vote with the government to save their own jobs for a little longer.

Christ, even that rent-a-gammon Gullis has resigned from whatever two bob government role he was given.

In 2019 it genuinely seemed unfinished. Went along for a wander this year and found it to be a really nice spot - came away with candy floss for £2.50 and a stick of rock.

1. Confidence Man 2. Kendrick Lamar 3. Self Esteem Ask me again tomorrow and the order will have changed - everyone I saw this year (bar maybe HAIM) were brilliant for me. What a year.

Fresh & Black assemble!

Yes! Straight down into the queue on both occasions. All jovial stuff at that time in the morning - 2019 was notably quicker than 2017, but as 2017 was my first time I couldn't tell you if we did anything particularly different - it was all a blur!

In 2019 we arrived around 6am, gates opened a little before 8am and we were in and set up in Kidney Mead just before 11am. 2017 was slightly longer wait - both years we entered from the East Side of the site - same plan this year, leaving Oxford around 3am so will likely be queued up around 5.30!

We're going to need a boat?!

I don't own wellies. Do I need to buy some wellies? (I do have walking boots...)

Used this exact model for 2017, 2019 and 2 Latitude festivals in between - would hugely recommend. Latitude 2021 saw it retired with too many holes, replaced by the 2 man XL version (looked at the 3 man XL but the turtle shell bag is HUGE). Always an advocate of the F+B, changed the game when I bought this one before 2017 and never looked back.

Not to worry @joeltg - FWIW the customer service reps over the phone were really helpful, sounded more like it was a supplier issue they had no control over. (AKA as @crazyfool1 says, Efests has bought them all)

Word of warning on this one - I ordered the 3 man F&B from Next 2 weeks ago after discovering it was around £20 cheaper than Decathlon and would be delivered within 6 days. 10 days and two phone calls to customer services later, Next emailed today to say they couldn't fulfill the order and would be providing a full refund. I've gone back to order the same tent from Decathlon directly (for £20 more) and will be collecting in store on Thursday.

Well, that was fast.

304 in the queue at 10.00am and not a sniff. We go again.

Incognito browser on Chrome with 4G hotspot worked for the second time in a row! Sealed 6/6 in the 2019 sale, a further 2 within 4 minutes this morning for a couple joining after two festivals out. I'd never made it past the holding page before this festival - luck has certainly turned. Very ready for 12 weeks of exciting build up, it's happening!

Chvrches at Brixton Academy tonight - absolutely brilliant. Best I've seen them, and the new songs sound so good live. Joined on stage by Robert Smith for the encore for How Not to Drown, and Just Like Heaven - a real treat and a great gig. Would love to see them on the farm.
