A transfer that legit popped up on my FM save the other day...

Soccer Mommy!

I've probably been to over 100 gigs, seen a fair few acts who I'd listen to more/prefer over Pulp, but this was it. The greatest gig I've ever been to and I think it'll be extremely hard to top. Absolutely sensational.

Buzzing to see them tonight! What were the set times? Also had no idea Lisa O'Neill was supporting which is amazing

Hell of a long shot, but anywhere doing cans of gluten free beer?

Glasto appears to be a registered trademark here; https://www.trademarkelite.com/uk/trademark/trademark-detail/UK00912068029/GLASTO Although I'm not going to claim to know the legals ins and outs but I imagine it's a no no haha! I don't disagree that it come across as heavy handed when the changes were made, but does strike me very much as a case of damage was already done. If it was always called "Plan Your Festival" and had a couple of other festival line ups on there too, I think he'd have been fine.

The app is great and the developer has done a really good job with it, but to play devil's advocate a little I can see why they asked him to take it down. I imagine a fairly big part of the Vodafone sponsorship agreement is the branding of the app as it gives them a lot of visibility over the weekend. Naturally they want an app literally called "Glasto" taken down as they've paid a pretty penny for the exclusivity and the festival won't want to overly rock the boat with a new sponsor or risk people thinking that it's the official app and something goes tits up. I know people are saying "not in the spirit of the festival" but the harsh reality is, the festival needs these sponsors to continue to thrive and sometimes that means business has to come first. The developer meant well and was just excited to share what he created but I do think there was a bit of naivety in naming it Glasto, including the map etc.

I sold my Pulp ticket on Twickets as I'd emigrated (moved back now, annoyingly). Basically have to email it to the buyer myself when it comes through & I don't get paid until after the gig actually happens.

Anyone else trying to get tickets for some of these gigs? Been in the queue for nearly two hours now; definitely been the slowest ticket queue I've ever been in!

Not much there for me to be honest but absolutely delighted with BC,NR. Assuming this means we get Jockstrap, too!

Aye same here, Fever Ray/Lana/(probably) Elton would be a solid headline trio for me.

Really hoping to see The Big Moon, Alvvays, BC, NR, Daughter, Jockstrap and The Beths all added! In a more fantasy world, I'd add in Damien Rice, The National & Magdalena Bay too.

Not quite indie landfill, but I'm hoping to see the likes of Alvvays & The Big Moon added later on!

Feist announces Spring tour in North America; hopefully she pops over to Europe in June!

I've a ticket for Jockstrap in London tonight up for grabs for £15 if anyone's interested? Will send via DICE but need to know before 5pm!

Love Florence and think she'd absolutely smash it as a headliner again but it's probably more likely she kept the weekend free so she can go as a punter.

We've still not had the Yeah Yeah Yeah's in Europe the right side of the festival yet, have we?

You pop to the shop wearing your Glastonbury hoody armed with one of your Glastonbury tote bags. My housemates have called me out on that one many a time.

Would be absolutely gutted if this is true. Had an excellent run one day in 2019 of Sunflower Beam >> Haelos >> Let's Eat Grandma; honestly one of the highlights of my three Glastonburys. Also saw Porridge Radio with a handful of people last year and it was excellent. Was a great place to go to get away from the crowds, too (Thursday the exception of course!). Will be a huge miss for me.

Yeah also a big shame about Franz; they were my ideal, realistic enough Other opener. The Smile, Boygenius, Franz & LCD Soundsystem all being ruled out in the last couple of days; been a bit of a bloodbath start to the week for me!

Absolutely gutted Boygenius are out of the running.

The Smile are in Mexico/USA over Glasto weekend so we can sadly rule them out.

Will be joining the International Contingent this year as I'm moving to Madrid in March! Is it still the case where they don't ship tickets internationally and you have to pick it up from box office onsite?

All Points East potentially?
