Since we're talking about ticket prices, it seems appropriate to drop this here

I forgot about this... game changer. ///downhill.tonsils.headlines Although I do like the challenge of flag photo...

If it wasn't for the flags, I'd be spending a lot more time on my own at Glasto. I don't bring one myself but I've countless "this is where we are vs. this flag" photos in my phone. Life saver. God speed flag bearers ✊

No worries dude, one day at a time ✌️✌️

Yeah, absolutely. Made for it.

2022 - Diana Ross - I'm Coming Out

Jeez, who pissed in your cornflakes? Stop digging for something that isn't there. It was a post about an unrecognised band, nothing misogynistic. OP has even since clarified and apologised (unnecessarily in my opinion - is was an understandable question which was quickly and amicably answered by describing the type of festival Glasto is)

I don't know what else is going on in your life but I do know break ups are tough. Really fucking tough. It's important to recognise though its okay and completely natural to feel absolutely shit sometimes. A phrase my other half often says to people which might help, is to try and sit with those feelings rather than in them. What that means is to appreciate that it's okay to feel down, understand that it's natural but try not let it completely take over (there's lots of therapy exercises that can help do this but it's not my place to advise on them, thats where the professional comes in). Importantly, don't be hard on yourself. Maybe think about seeing someone again too. Like everything, you're going to have some therapists that are better than others and your going to have different styles of therapy that suit different types of people and situations. It's a good thing to focus on things like Glastonbury but maybe try not to hang everything on top of that one event. Everybodys brain works differently and where it may have took just one light bulb moment for Bob Mortimor to brighten up his darkness, it may take a few more light bulbs to brighten up someone's else's. If this forum helps, this could be one of your light bulbs. Glastonbury will probably be a really bright bulb for you too, but it's important recognised it sometimes takes more that one bulb to light up a room.

I'm not sure if this counts as getting ready but I was in Paddington this afternoon (I'm not in the UK that often) and saw the train to Castle Cary - it gave me all the feels! Roll on June!

Great to see, its absolutely the best way forward. Hopefully Ireland will follow suit!

My other half is a psychotherapist so my opinion on this subject is a bit weighted. Her position - which I echo - would be to first seek a therapist. Medication can be a postive aid but tends not be a long term solution on its own. I'm sceptical of GP's prescribing antidepressants for anxiety/depression without also advising to speak with someone. If you haven't already, I'd consider speaking to a therapist. For anxiety, I'd look in to a therapist that specialises in Cognative Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This type of therapy is a highly structured and modern form of therapy. It's centred around the modern sciences, understanding why our brains do things and then training them to do things differently if there's an issue. As far as I know, this type of therapy can work really well for anxiety and depression. Hopefully this helps you somewhat. Good luck in your journey my friend!

I prefer doing my Glasto research on YouTube (video gives me a better feel for the acts), so I've fired together a YouTube playlist. It's just one live performance from each artist on the poster, so no tracks or music videos. Anywho, thought others might find it handy too so here ya'll go -

Still seems to be a bit more availability on Ticketmaster, albeit for the midweek slots

Yeah, that's where I went. Refreshed at 9am, got as far as putting 2 tix in the basket only to get a message a second or 2 later saying no tickets available, join the waiting list. The whole experience lasted no more that 10 seconds.

I stupidly had followed the link from the presale (which had a countdown)... didn't realise it was also on Ticketmaster, think that was the problem. Looks like I'll have to pick a different venue now, which means convincing the other half to take a day off work...

Ah here... waited patiently until 9am. Refreshed the page, no more than 5 seconds later - sold out. Seriously?

As much as I'd love it, I just can't see it happening. Without Keith, it seems like they're dipping their toes in the water first with the announced schedule - very Prodigy venues, with Prodigy fans, all in the UK. Starting at a music festival just doesn't seem like the best fit.

Fantastic - straight in to the must sees! Thanks!

Looks like a hard pass on Doja Cat for me... anything I've listened to so far just sounds like this generic female pop/rap stuff. The unnecessarily crass lyrics ain't my bag either. Sampa the Great is new to me though and I'm liking what I've found so far

Also more than happy to help 👍

Certainly a step down from what was meant to be in 2020

Raging. Had 2 in the basket for Birmingham but the site made me sign up to complete the purchase... signed up within 30 seconds but then my basket was empty. Looks like I'll have to try again on Friday.

I know, my reaction was the same!

Bicep closely followed by Aphex Twin if the rumours are true

I felt like that when Jon Hopkin's brought out Singularity (in particular the track Everything Connected) and was content that it would probably be a very long time before I felt that kind of powerful feeling again..... Bicep: "Hold my coat"
