Well that would be amazing but I’d have said Other or JP more their vibe. I’ve been dropping ‘see you at Glasto’ into their twitter comments recently but they haven’t really risen to it so I’m thinking the dream may be over.

If it's halvin's clashfinder, yes. The one someone else did earlier in this thread has them all already afaik

Go into the clash finder menu choose customise then highlights

Me too as you can imagine, with my username ...

Just reread the original screenshot tweet and realise Midlake 'hoped' to be there. They never said they were booked. Ah well

🤔 No sign of them on the list, sadly

Well unless they're a TBC looks like they were fibbing

I once took the kids to see Kasabean on the 2nd stage at Chelmsford while Radiohead were on the main stage (Superdad, huh?). As we left the venue passing near the main stage I heard 'Creep' drifting through the air. Their last song. Believe me, in no way did it make me feel better about missing the rest of the set. You're better off enjoying PB in full and not rushing to catch Sam. Or do it the other way round. But trying to enjoy both - there lies disappointment

But surely this is just a matter of your taste versus someone else's taste? To draw the conclusion that the line up is predictable, not featuring enough bands you can't see elsewhere or too geared towards old bands (I think these are your criticisms?) then to say you'd like to see The Strokes, Gorillaz, Tame Impala and Yeah Yeah Yeahs just doesn't seem to stack up. I'd like to see Another Sky, Howl & The Hum, Luz, National Service, Gerry Cinnamon, Mosa Wild, Man Of Moon, Fews and Sohn. But that's just a wish list of bands I like that aren't at Glasto (least I don't think any of them are!) - the fact they aren't doesn't stop me from thinking it's a great lineup. I think it is and I'm really pleased with it.

12:45 Sunday, the Pyramid is going to be the place to be. Dakhabrakha. For those who don't know them, they're Ukraine's biggest musical export, wear traditional Ukrainian folk outfits and sing ... well it's weird, ethereal, danceable and amazing. I've wanted to see them for a while and missed their Oval Space set last time out. I think the outpouring of love and support will be enormous - even from those for whom the music's not their cup of tea. Bring your Ukraine flag.

It has! Here it is unvarnished https://clashfinder.com/s/g2022/

halvin's editing it at the moment I think.

If you watch the end of the set from way out left of the stage ready for a quick getaway you should get to the right of Pyramid in about 15 mins weather (and oncoming traffic) permitting. Getting onto the hill for a decent view will take longer if it's congested down there.

Just caught up with this incident. Have to say it looks as though he’s been treated fairly shabbily and without much sensitivity, considering he’s a long time member and actually does something every year for this forum that many of us find really valuable. My Glasto planning doesn’t really start until I’ve got a BSR playlist. Hope it’s resolved and he comes back into the fold.

@Brave Sir Robin Interesting you have Midlake down but there's no mention of them at all on the rumours list. I can see from this article that they've apparently hinted at it. Anyone know why Neil's not listed it? Too vague a rumour?

I’m trying to recall whether in the past there have been deals on upgrades nearer the time. I did a VIP day last year and liked having the chance to chill away from the crowd. But it’s a big premium this year and unless that comes down I doubt I’d go for it.

Agree with everyone about the band and the back catalogue. I’ve seen maybe 15-20 of his gigs since he started playing Beatles material again in 87(?) and there’s no denying his voice is pretty shot now. But he’s surrounded by the greatest tribute band imaginable - I’d argue their instrumental ability is technically superior to John, George and Ringo - and they play so much material that we never heard the Beatles play live. Plus the harmonies and backing vocals are so important to the Fabs’ material that Paul’s vocals are largely unimportant - they’re swamped by the wonder of everything else going on around.

I wondered that. But this was on p2 … 🤔

I know it’s been mentioned in the Touring thread but Macca’s US tour finishing just in time to give him a few days off before Glasto …

Keep refreshing. There are drops from baskets. I just picked up a single after it said sold out

Amazed this was never made available as a DVD/Blu-Ray at Xmas. I guess people aren't buying that stuff as much now but it doesn't look to me as if it's available anywhere as an official release, even online?

This time it was just a question of putting the code in, being told it was too early for the sale then repeatedly hitting unlock until the clock struck 2

🤣🤣🤣 Seems a bit excessive - Kate Bush just asked everyone nicely in pre show material not to film and it pretty much worked. I went for 11am Sunday too. I’m on Dry Jan so that felt like a good time to avoid having a drink during the gig 😊

There's a presale tomorrow - no time announced yet but they'll email the mailing list at some stage during the day.

You were lucky. We were there last weekend - staying at Steanbow who said that as most of the festival land was theirs* we were welcome to go wherever. However much of it (including the Pyramid) was cordoned off. The railway line was blocked off at the Glade to stop us going into the Sacred Stones’ field which had workers in it. Maybe it was something to do with the fact that it was meant to have been the day of the One Day Gig. * I was amazed to hear that 52% of the festival (presumably including parking but I didn’t ask that at the time) was on Steanbow’s land including John Peel, Park, Other and the dance area. Puts them in a strong negotiating position I’d imagine!
