After our payment failing, then getting back through at the same time as another in our party and both getting kicked out, we were hearing reports it was sold out, our pal finally got through on his phone. We're in!!

Count yourself lucky, it was seemingly inescapable at the time
-
Mario - Let Me Love You for 2004 is a bit surprising (though it's a banger). More streams than Toxic, Yeah! & Burn, Baby Cakes, Just Lose It, Lola's Theme, Take Me Out, Somebody Told Me, Call on Me

Scalping quote tweeted with a crystal ball

My prediction is Big Moon, Black Midi, Young Fathers headlining BBC Sounds, with Lightning Seeds, Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis Bextor on Obelisk
-
In addition to festivals becoming more popular in general, two things I can think of for GM: festivals becoming an alternative to holidays abroad (and green man being a very popular one for families); and latitude changing significantly, sending its earlier fanbase elsewhere
-
I had BSS as potential Thursday Headliners in my mind, that felt about right to me... I didn't realise they had previously been booked lower down, though! I think Chris/Redcar could be about right; after the APE date last time round didn't sell well, I don't know if a significantly bigger festival (one that doesn't consistently sell out anyway) would risk booking him to headline? Also, I think the new name might affect "brand" recognition somewhat
-
Chucking in an early punt for headliners: Broken Social Scene, Redcar (fka Christine and the Queens), Hot Chip, Suede I'd also love to see How to Dress Well and Sylvan Esso in the walled garden
-
Am I right in thinking they opened up the campsite to people coming via public transport today? Because of the strikes
-
Got a couple of tickets for the Erased Tapes day, looking forward to every room being the chillout room & then bed by midnight! Hessle Audio day looks like a great line up for my taste, but can't convince the partner
-
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I couldn't make it this year, but just want to give one last-minute recommendation for Bartees Strange! (Sunrise Arena, 3:45pm today I believe). Saw him in London last night, it was fantastic, and his band were excellent.
-
In previous years, you could just take your kit and swim in a marked-off area. Busy in the mornings before any of the acts start

Renaming of ther John Peel Stage - article in the Daily Hate
evannn replied to Yoghurt on a Stick's topic in Chat
If they want to remember JP's legacy without "erasing history" (good or bad), I propose a subtle change: The Peelo -
Last year it was (with maybe the occasional live electronic act); it's the stage with the large crossed arches, near the entrance
-
Was happy with a few of the additions, until I noticed Beverly Glenn-Copeland is no longer on there 😢
-
This seems most likely to me; it’s the order on the poster as well
-
I quite like it, which is a bit of a shame as I can’t really afford it this year. Groove armada aside, I could probably just go and see gigs for the main acts I’m interested in
-
Thanks! I didn’t have the specific times to hand, I knew that Caribou and Mogwai finished after midnight
-
Last year was my first GM, but I feel like the mountain stage already went refreshingly late compared to lots of festivals. It’s one festival where you could feasibly have a “double headliner” and both are in the dark? It doesn’t feel unimaginable that they could do that and have Bicep on after Kraftwerk/Metronomy (those being the two more likely imo)
-
Beverly Glenn-Copeland!!!!!
-
Sugar Candy Mountain? edit: oops missed Will’s guess
-
Foxing have a couple of songs, "Bit by a dead bee" parts 1 & 2, but that's not so much a clue? 'Bit by a dead bee' is the title of Season 2 Episode 3 of Breaking Bad, so maybe Glass Animals
-
More specifically to a co-op…someone on Twitter says Bess Atwell - she has a single called co-op and is from Brighton apparently
-
That’ll be deathcrash then, happy days
-
Surely they’ll be in Europe for more than just one festival! I’m just glad that they’re active again, I missed the boat on them the first time round
