Our groups had most of these, although when finally got to the payment screed 20 mins after the sold out tweet that worked OK. Guessing less people were still trying then. The site not being reachable and the holding page (the 20 sec page) freezing or being lost seem like past sales just due to the volume trying. I had the strange loop thing where I finally got through to entering the reg details, click proceed and saw all the names and £50 deposits info but when clicking confirm on that screen it went back to the 20 sec/holding screen. No way to break out of that by clicking back or refeshing. When another in the group got through I expected it to fail as I was still in that loop but they managed to get through to the payment screen and buy OK. Wonder if one or some servers had that glitch which was the tech problem?

Keep trying - just got tickets like 1 min ago!
-
Yeah - still got this. What the hell was going on. Click confirm on screen after entering regs and it goes to the 20 sec queue screen.

Anyone got the Olivia Rodrigo set? Seems to have gone off iplayer just as I belatedly get round to grabbing some on get iplayer

The Strokes at Lytham were brilliant. Crowds were well up for it and I wonder if that helped avoid some of the erratic performances they are reported to have done elsewhere. Great support too - Wet Leg and Fontaines were both really good. Lounge Society on very early and poor sound so didn't do much for me. The Strokes played for about 1hr 20 mins which sounds like is as much as they do. No encore, but JC asked the crowd if they wanted them to go off and come back as they would have had to drop a song and crowd response was just keep playing. Short set and chances of a poor performance make it a risky Glasto headliner, and I'd say their time has passed for that on Pyramid but if they turned up i the right mood it would be good. Lytham Festival a strange one. Half the front of the stage is a seperate VIP area, plus there is a raised up marquee pooposite the stage with sofas and waiter service. We got well in the crowd on the plebs side not too far back after a bit of moshing and it was much better than I expected - really top night. Might have been less impressive further back, it is a strange very wide arena.

Not what I’d listen to or where I would be but Kendrick looks to be putting on a good headliner show from the iPlayer surfing. PSB been on 30 mins and it’s good but where is Chris, getting annoying now.

Delete - wrong thread

Signed it at 19 and this albums last one of the contract so he’s celebrating
-
Think he’s over medicated the stage fright tonight
-
I love Jamie T but he’s taking a while to get going. Should finish strong.
-
Suppose that makes sense but no reason it has to be on BBC1! Messes with my plan for an hours of Macca then Jamie T and rest of Macca later. Filling gap with Girl In Red from yesterday which seems pretty good.
-
It’s not leaving many options for the next hour!
-
Yeah, seen that just now too. Why - very poor if he’s not letting it all be shown live.
-
The live Pyramid stream channel on iPlayer should start at 9.30. Only the main Glasto iPlayer that mirrors bbc tv will be 10.30
-
Other Stage May just lose its indie wasteland tag with this Metronomy - Glass Animals - O Rod run. Looks a lot of fun there & I hear the repeaters have really improved the sound.
-
Looks like a perfect sunny afternoon band. Really good.
-
The answer is REM, that’s it!!
-
Don’t get the Billie bashing. It’s not for me but she is undoubtably huge and big enough to headline. If you don’t like it you head to one of the 100 or so other stages. It’s that simple isn’t it??
-
I may have missed something as mainly watching Foals and flicking across but what the fuck are Primal Scream doing. Have they done anything off Screamadelica yet?
-
No worries - cheers.
-
Didn’t go to plan. Shouldn’t have got my hopes up, there is a reason why you can’t go from 5 days in hospital to hitting Glasto. I’m home, Glasto is on TV but I’m way too wiped out and uncomfortable to do 5 hours in a car never mind wandering round Glasto. Gutted, awful luck but roll on 2023.
-
Sorry this is not going to help with peoples FOMO but just been told I am being discharged this afternoon. Organised a lift down and hotel in Bristol tonight and should be walking through Gate A on Saturday morning. it will be a very different (and shorter) Festival for me. Alcohol Free and taking it slow, but I am going to make it there. So happy right now.
-
Not FOMO just pure gutting MO. My golden ticket is at home, my Gang is at Glasto & I’m in hospital. Never been in hospital since I had my appendix out 25 years ago, and never usually ill. Yet the Sunday before Glasto that I had so been looking forward to I went yellow with jaundice and and stuck in here with something wrong with gallbladder. Doesn’t look like it will be anything serious or long term but doesn’t the timing suck. Roll on 2023. I don’t suppose there is any chance of rolling the ticket over, and the rest of my group are using theirs.
-
Small hope - tests not going fast and not getting any less yellow so not looking good at the moment, but if there is a safe way to get there later I’ll try and make some of it. All a bit of a mystery what’s causing it at moment, never had it before. Worst timing😥
