10 beers deep by 6pm. Then onto the shots to keep you going through the headliner. Gives you 2 or 3 hours to empty your bladder, should see you through a 2 hour headliner set.

If it's just you three, and you've no strong opinions on where to camp, you can set off at a normal time Wednesday and aim to get there for lunchtime - this is normally the time I arrive and there's never a queue, you just stroll through. Though I normally have friends who have arrived a couple of hours earlier and have vaguely saved me a tent space, however there's campsites with enough space for 3 tents in various parts. I have a tiny car and we've fit three of us in the past but it's been painfully difficult to squeeze all stuff in. Can be done if the three includes the driver, but it won't be comfortable for passengers with stuff piled on their knees 😄

it is, but a) i imagine it's one of the ways of encouraging more people onto public transport b) driving including petrol cheaper than coach from pretty much everywhere if you're sharing with at least 1 other person of course the cheapest option would be make your own way via megabuses/shuttle from castle cary or whatever but....effort and that

I’m not a big tent person, I’m all about convenience. Can’t recommend my fresh and black 3 man (I got the slightly larger size) enough. Just me in it and felt quite luxurious, can sit in it (not stand), pops up in seconds, tent was hot on a morning but not the sauna other tents become, and no more difficult to put down than every other small tent I’ve ever had (practice a couple of times in the garden so you know what you’re doing). Has a porch. Only did 2023 so not tested in the rain but of course it will be bone dry this year 😉

I'd also say Kneecap if we're looking for 'edge'. Heilung aren't going down well at party in the park either.

Ha yeah totally get that. Even though I've found in the past few weeks listening to spoken word German over battle sounds for 8 minutes does get me weirdly pumped up for a day in the office

To add yet another two penneth, personally the top half of the lineup doesn't look inspiring, but when I delve into the bottom half there's some of my favourite acts, and I've counted a higher than average amount I want to see for a first poster drop. So I guess that means I think the lineup is good? But the general public will just look at the poster at a glance (so the three headliners plus a few more near the top) and think it's sh*t. But you know what, great, I want people to think that, any marginal gains I can take on ticket day if a few hundred thousand less try for tickets next year 😛 I don't think there's anything Glastonbury/Emily aren't doing that they should be, I think it's just got slightly lower hype because this year there's no Elton or Macca. Imagine the exact same lineup with Stevie W instead of SZA - I think we'd be seeing similar excitement levels to the last 2 years. I do wonder if dividing by stages has a negative impact on the perceived poster quality? IMO the Pyramid stage lineup on its own never really 'inspires', so grouping them all together right at the top might make the whole thing look worse. And I know this doesn't sound believable but I sometimes actively hope for bad lineups so I can enjoy all the other glasto delights without silly bands getting in the way.... Man i do like to write essays on the rare occasions I post. In conclusion I can't wait and I wake up every day looking forward to another great glasto 😄

proper mad sh*t isn't it. I love it. Working my way backwards through the 3 albums. Sunset slot would be great, I feel it my be too much for an early afternoon hangover.

I was also there and was like "oh wow I totally don't remember that!", which absolutely doesn't mean it didn't happen, but yeah if none of us remember it it can't have done

Tbf, a stadium selling artist gigging in France a few days after Glastonbury could be very relevant to our mindless speculation, especially as we’re now dealing with an unknown headliner! If it were blur for example…

Yes, apparently a reliable source has said he’s out of BST, meaning almost certainly Glastonbury (similar to how the Madonna rumours broke down?). Whether he had signed/sealed and pulled out or was in some stage of moderate level of negotiations that broke down is speculation. Glasto have to replace with whoever the biggest act available is, which by common consensus will be no one as decent as stevie. And whether this all happened this morning leaving glasto scrambling, or is actually old news and not to worry glasto already have a substitute headliner sorted, is again anyone’s guess! I know a lot of us were hoping for an announcement tomorrow (based on nothing) so that’s very much up in the air too. think that’s a close-enough summary!

Oh bloomin’ eck! Got ya, cheers

ah sorry, fair enough! Oh I see, are there some rumblings on there then re Stevie?

huh?

KOL are definitely big enough to headline and I don't think would be accepting of a sub/other headline, whether they would be an interesting or good booking is subjective I guess (personally I'm a historical fan but think they are regularly pretty turgid live, so would avoid). However I always say they could book a bloke doing a turd to headline the pyramid for all I care, plenty of stuff going on to have the best time of your life anyway. Based on nothing at all I think they are sharing Glasto posts over other festivals/gigs simply to promote the UK gigs, as headlining glasto is by far the biggest thing you can do in the UK, you can basically milk that headliner status forever to promote yourself over here. ps I'm still convinced it's Stevie as that's the latest info we've got, and we're just talking ourselves out of it due to no announcement forthcoming!
