Wembley .... 20,500 Bah

Log out and log back in ....

OK, so this was practice run ... don't have multiple browsers open because when you are through it kicks you out. Impressive really.

Just keep trying TM, you get through eventually.

Crystal Palace shows finish at 10:00

Helena Hauff is the correct answer.

Exactly all of this. However, Jim often says it's the biggest opening act crowd he's ever seen. Maybe they are just getting bigger?

Yeah, I understand that he's forgotten a lot over the years, but surely you don't need the words for 'My Way'? It was either great or terrible, I still haven't decided. Would have been much better in a tent.

OK, who did I see? Late night nonsense as follows, if anyone is interested Thursday - Silver Hayes, The Levels (top new venue) Paranoid London; KiKI (✅); Sherelle / I.Jordan Friday - Temple Techno Night Effy; The Liberators; SPFDJ Saturday - Silver Hayes, Lonely Hearts Helena Hauff (✅😍🤩); Daniel Avery then a scoot to S-La for Scalping Live (✅), who were late on which meant I caught it all! Sunday - A bit of a tourist Shy FX; Hybrid Minds for some spider D&B; Lorraine for some Glade trance, then to Unfairground for Phil Hartnoll for a bit old school. Ended at Deena at IIcon, very tired before a long trudge back to the bus. Good, weren't it?

At two different sets on The Other I saw security tell people to take flags down in the pit as "they were blocking the view of the cameras". Just ban more than one on a pole. If you have more than that then it's removed. Even the 'Kendall in the Wind" flag winner was a 2 flag w*nker.

and remember kids .... it's a marathon, not a sprint. 🙄 Stay safe. x

Oooh .... Sunday early evening clusterf.ck partially eased.

OK ... Van Morrison 87; 88; 92; 93; 94; 97; 05 Primal Scream 92; 93; 98; 05; 11; 13 Elvis Costello 84; 85; 87; 94; 05; 13 Would have at least made it bit more interesting!

Indeed ... a strange one that. Although thinking about it, I wonder how that could work. There can't actually be masses of cross-over without going down the Beans/Mik/Lekkido route.

yep

I think the year is confirmed now ...

I think it's the '09 one folks ....

So is that either 07, 09 or 14?

Careful now ..... it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Back House is the place to be. Tucked away behind Baileys and only opens on a Thursday. Loads of room and not as far out as Darble.

My thoughts, in a less detailed answer than Benny ... 1) Yes, Helena 2) Will be very busy, but possible. How are you in crowds? 3) Hard one. Are you missing on a Saturday headliner? Then do the Temple thing. Good luck

I'll definitely be at: Panic Shack Adwaith; Hives; Los Bitchos; CR Jepson; Sparks; Fever Ray WMC; Generation Sex; Lizzo Cassetteboy; Nova Twins .... Sunday is still very much up in the air.

OK for those of us lucky to be going, we are heading for the fields for 4 or 5 days of bliss and we're all over-excited as our Christmas is coming. The best piece of advice you can all have from me is to bloody pace yourselves. Remember, to be belting out the tunes with Reg on Sunday night, or bouncing around even later, you'll have to have preserved some energy. It's a marathon and not a sprint. See you in the fields ... Oh, and you can post your disaster stories here afterwards. X

Don't expect Knife-like shenanigans... it's very dark and brooding. Not everyone's idea of a Glasto Friday night headliner.

You'll be fine doing Fever Ray to Temple. Just remember to leave around the back of Pennards rather than follow the crowds down the hill. See you there.... x
