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?

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.
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.

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.

Nooooo! So gutted for you. Don't know what else to say really.

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😥

Admitted to hospital - jaundice, hooked up to drip. 3 years dreams and last few weeks excitement gone up in smoke. Gutted - there have been tears from a 50 year old.

Put up one of those side tents now, were they bars? Looks like set up will be similar to 2019 but with Spidey in the middle instead of the Crane. People said sound was good in 2019 so if they recreate that with Spidey its all good yeah?

Maybe sonic - last time that was a tent like the one Glade are using.

I think that is the stage behind the tree in corner closest to Other Stage, the scaffold sticking up looks right to be dressed in the old cinema look of that stage.

Cant see it anywhere - whats the best inflatable camping mat around? ie not a mattress.
Preferably light and easy to pack for the space conscious.
This was my comfort/compact choice. Seemed ok on a quick test, might float well when your doom weather arrives

They must have read the doomsters on here saying things were never going to be ready on time as it all seems to have kicked on today:
Croissant Neuf Up
New Tent in park
Spider about to be coaxed out of its crates
Mandela Bar frame up
San Remo (old Beat Hotel) frame appearing
Possibly Lonely Hearts Club
Lock Ups
More bins & tipi's
What other biggies are we waiting on? JP Tent, Leftfield, Sonic, some signs of Sticklich not being a wind up!

I wonder if the blue striped tent, which looked a bit bigger, was the rumoured new Stonebridge tent, and they put that and the Park Bar tent up the wrong way round so have taken then down to switch?!

See Tickets status earlier in the week was "Tickets are in stock and will be despatched shortly to the address provided."
Just checked today and it says " Tickets will be sent by secure post. A signature may be required on delivery."
Why the change...what does it mean...probably nothing and I will just have to wait a while 🥺

Probably for the cars, don't think many of them were runners.

When it talks about guest DJs, do their sets also go through headphones or is there actually a PA? I can't quite picture the setup...
Its headphones, like at the Silent Discos, or thats what it was last time for the films and DJ set. I went on first night for an Ibiza film then Fatboy Slim DJ set. Warning - sitting in a car after a few rums and a long day may make you snoozy enough to miss the film and the DJ!
It was good to check it out and lots of effort put into the vehicles but I won't be going back - to many even better distractions at Glastonbury!

You're right. I hadn't clocked that but the route from Other to Pyramid is a bit longer now coming out by San Remo (was Beat) rather than the old cut through

Do you normally get an email when yours have been dispatched? Or is it a case of just waiting for them to appear
In 2019 got an email saying dispatched and tickets arrived next day (email 30/5, tickets 31/5)

Yeah - ignore me. Apparently Jessie Ware is a different person to Jess Glynn - who knew!

Moment of silence for Manics who haven't made it back from 2020 😞
Is Jessie Ware a headliner - does nowt for me but never mind.
Saint Etienne could be a good chill watch in the sunshine

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??
