The Red Telephone

I completely missed Daniel Avery's name on there! Amazing news. Lauren Lo Sung was great at Greenpeace last year.

Excellent line up. King of The Beats should be good fun. TBH, the first thing I check when the Glade poster comes out is that Cassette Boy and Dj Rubbish are on there.

Just watching some footage of the show…and it’s not great

1. Booked hotel in Bristol on the Sunday night, so can be in Oxfield as early as possible on the Monday. 2. Started to buy some of those tiny, but lethal, cocktail cans from M&S. Freeze well and don’t take up a lot of space.

Yes - can remember trying to read the old-style broadsheet Observer in the wind in times gone past!

Same here, always liked to collect them

Don’t know if this has been discussed elsewhere, but someone on the Oxfam group chat is saying that The Guardian bags/ paper sales are no more…

Off to an old person’s daytime breaks rave on Saturday at the Steel Yard in London. Anyone been to that venue before? Good/ bad?

For his unremitting anti-monarchy stance, Heaton always gets my vote. Although Perfect 10 is an abomination.

Asha Puthli is a new discovery for me - been listening at work and can't wait to see her now

A final three of Eileen/ Geno/ Jackie Wilson should be good-time central. TBH in the few recent videos I've seen, they have stayed faithful to the originals.

They play Geno, don’t they?

I worked on the Thursday (2pm-10pm) last year and it was a bit of a relief not having to try and navigate the site/ get stuck in a bottleneck whilst the few acts playing were on. Had spent the past 5/6 festivals queuing to get into the Temple at opening. Always great fun in there but, even if I’m not working this year, Thursday is a chill day for me now. Far too many people trying to get into far few things.

There’s still a few gaps on the Pyramid for Chaka to fill. Hopefully.

Looking at some 2023 vids, they sound good! Searching For The Young Soul Rebels has one of the best starts to an album ever.

Faithless headlining Glade on Thursday

By my reckoning, we’re missing 4 Pyramid acts, 9 from Other, 6 from Holts, 7 from Woodsies and 7 from The Park. (Based on last year’s timings. Apologies if this has already been mentioned)

Done an Apple Music playlist, if anyone’s interested. At least one song from every artist, aside from a few I couldn’t bear to. https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/glastonbury-2024/pl.u-V9D7mE9h1Nmj9k

They were never going to get both Madge and Stevie. I imagine one of them was earmarked for the SZA slot, not Coldplay or Dua.

Another is predicting the potential end of the festival because their latest hipster fave wasn’t booked early morning on Woodsies.

The resale will be an absolute bun-fight as normal

Me too - I did hope, but always thought three nights in a row would be a push.

Simz on LL now. Gonna be great on the Pyramid.

The National want a word
