As someone working on that bar as a volunteer (all front facing bar staff were) I'm not sure if we'd be contractually allowed to handle cash if a wi-fi error occured as it did. I worked the same company at WOMAD and we had about 1-1.5 hrs out there too. It seems the issue might extend further beyond EOTR issues to also the systems used by different contracters.

The Good: First time at the festival, thought it was lovely and a very fun time! Was working at the Crow's Nest (when the Wi-Fi wasn't down) and everyone was great to work with. Showers in the staff campsite, sorted me out so much when hungover and tired. Best acts: King Gizzard, The Murder Capital, Donna Thompson, Moin, Bar Italia. The Bad: Okay I know there's a lot of complaining about toilets so I'll be brief. Compost toilets are good, they're more than fine but... lighting would help, increased cleaning and people actually using them properly. I shouldn't have had to have a conversation with a bloke that compost was for covering his business and not washing his hands with haha. In terms of acts: Caroline didn't get started at all for me and I think Overmono are getting poorer each time I see them but was still alright, not bad per sey. Wi-Fi issues at the bars and food. Lost about 2+ hours of my first shift, not that i'm complaining really but seems to be a recurring problem from what I was told and can't be good for business or for those who didn't pack lots of booze. The Ugly: Nothing! Lovely place, excited to go again as either a punter or working.

Packed everything today, one last trip to the shops tomorrow with a first timer and then off to join the queue party !

I agree with you tbh, just a more hopeful booking if Emily could throw money around like nothing else and get everything more than perfect. Paramore I would stick sub but was trying to shoehorn Pulp and the National in to O head or sub. In regards to Rosalia, IF she was gonna get booked at Glasto I see Pyramid 3rd, Other Head/Sub, WH headliner. Would love to see UK festivals give her some love. I think there's always bookings that seem higher or lower than they should be to each individual.

FRIDAY Pyramid: Blur // Halsey / Iggy Pop / Wet Leg Other: Doja Cat // Jorja Smith West Holts: Nas // Kaytranada Woodsies: Sigur Ros // Angel Olsen The Park: Jon Hopkins // King Krule SATURDAY Pyramid: Madonna or Rihanna // Sam Smith / Rosalía / Anderson. Paak & The Free Nationals Other: The National // PJ Harvey West Holts: Justice // Fatouma Diawara Woodsies: IDLES // Låpsley The Park: FKA Twigs // Sampha SUNDAY Pyramid: Taylor Swift // Pulp / Paramore / Stevie Nicks Other: The Prodigy // Bring Me The Horizon West Holts: Janelle Monáe // Jill Scott Woodsies: Jessie Ware // Bombay Bicycle Club The Park: The Smile // Siouxsie 2025: 1975 or Harry Styles / Dua Lipa / Depeche Mode / Duran Duran

Peach said she was closing NYC Downlow (on the poster) but now absent from the lineup and times. Wonder what happened there as was going to try and get in for that one. What's the queue like on Saturday night at 3? I'm gonna assume chocker!? Thursday: Decision between Nia Archives -> Hodge in SE or Imogen -> VTSS Friday: Floating Points b2b Daphni -> Or:la Saturday: Mala -> LTJ Bukem -> NYC Downlow / Temple -> LCY b2b Misfya Sunday: all open atm but maybe Stonebridge and Bimble Inn Saw Sedef Adasi this Saturday at NTS Fest and it was a very mixed bag, didn't rate it much. Seemed off from what I'd seen online of em so atm leaving them out but was so looking forward to seeing them.

Thanks for the response, I'll just keep my eye on if people have info on positions then. Few acts I'd like to really try and catch but either way just looking forward to going.

Hope I get to catch Elkka and The Murder Capital. Any idea when stage splits come out? Will it be after volunteers select slots, if anyones volunteered before?

Hard stick on this: Fri: Los Bitchos > Joesef > ADG7 > Slowthai > Chvrches > Joey Bada$$ > Young Fathers > Arctic Monkeys Sat: Thundercat > Tinariwen > TBA Park > Japanese Breakfast or Ezra Collective > Rosalia or Mahalia > Loyle Carner Sun: Shame or Jockstrap > BC, NR > Sudan Archives > The Comet is Coming or The Hu, Barrington Levy & Candi Staton or The War on Drugs > Elton John Only thing with Jockstrap second on woodsies into bc,nr on west holts third is a might big double shift for Georgia Ellery

Maybe Dua is 2025, I could see this... 2024: Pulp / Rihanna or Madge / Taylor 2025: The 1975 / Dua Lipa / Foos, Rihanna or Madge

Nabihah Iqbal's got a new record releasing in April. New track just dropped is pretty good, they'd be great on Park or WH.

I'm really hoping I get to catch her as I was meant to see her last year at an event but she dropped out with illness...they're killing it atm! Hopefully another set down in SE or SH.

It was said he was meant to do Arcadia last year. Really hope he's not there as I think it stinks but IICON, as you say, seems a naturable fit. There is the dream, I'll happily take WH or JP tho.
