Don't go and see 'big names' just for the sake of it.
I went to George Ezra's secret set (with a mate who is a fan of him in fairness) because I figured I could say I've seen George Ezra without having to pay for him. I was bored to tears for the full set.
Bastille was similar - spent ages waiting on them in a decent spot and I don't even like them (again, one of my mates did).
-
I refreshed one browser (Chrome, every ~2 seconds) and left another browser to refresh every 20 when the countdown finished (Safari).
Didn't get anywhere with either of them.

so who will we get first ?
I'm thinking Arctics - possibly not long after Sunday's sale. Maybe late Nov/early Dec.
-
Arctics, GNR and Elton I reckon

Depending on when Olivia releases her next album, she could be in the mix too
-
For me now, it would likely come down to who is playing.
I'm not trying for tickets this year due to my wedding being a couple of weeks after, but in future if I was lucky enough to get a ticket I'd base my decision on who was playing. Cant afford to pay that much if the headliners are people I've zero interest in, despite how good the rest of the festival is.

Thanks for posting that. Bring it on - brilliant setlist. Seeing them in Belfast and cannot wait. Have quite a few gigs in the next few months, but think this is the one I’m most looking forward to.See you there! Heading with two of the guys I was at Glastonbury with too - we all chatted for a bit at the meet-up.

Not as big a name as this year, but can't possibly be as bad as DiRo

Going to see Wet Leg. Knew the park would be crazy but risked it anyway. Queued 45 mins for food, and then couldn't see them on stage. Sound was dreadful too.
Also regret going to Diana Ross. I love her music and I was happy to see her as my expectations were low but she was worse than I could have imagined. I'm a fan of Fontaines DC so I wish I had seen them instead.

There were definitely some horror show toilets early in the morning... Went in to one and someone had shit all over the wooden bit to the right of the seat and just left it.
I thought in general though the toilets were grand. If you have ever used toilets in central Asia the long drops are like a luxury!

My group of first timers thought the spider was very cool. I can see though how after a couple of years it would lose its appeal.
We seemed to hit it at less busy times so never had an issue with sound.

She was as brilliant as I hoped.

Not sure how unpopular this opinion is, but there shouldn't be a stage named after someone who married a 15 year old (John Peel).

Ah my bad - we were going off the line ups on the booklet which just had 'Mel C'.
Which is another minor complaint as the booklet was wrong. It could simply have been a bad run but ours had Sam Fender playing on Saturday as well as saying there were random TBAs which didn't exist.
Think it was just down to when the booklet had to be printed. Doha Cat hadn't pulled out at that point, so Sam Fender hadn't been bumped up.
I imagine the extra TBAs hadn't been confirmed at the time of printing either

😕 I know where you're coming from with that, and I've been guilty too.. But even without covid, one person's sniffle could be a death sentence for another person.
Is it time we start being more considerate with all illnesses?
I know exactly what you mean, but its hard to weigh up the cost of skipping things due to illnesses.
I had already sunk £500+ in to Glastonbury and it was probably going to be my last chance to see Macca. Thankfully I was healthy before going to it, but if I had a bit of a cold I wasn't going to miss out as a result. I'm sure there were people at the festival who knew they had covid and I don't begrudge them going (despite one of them obviously giving it to me!).

I would think so too, living with it doesn't mean willingly spreading it.
You wouldn't go to a gig with a nasty flu and spread that around would you?
No, but I'd 100% go if I had a sniffle.

This is all part of the healing process and learning to live with covid. These mass transmission events lead to more natural immune responses as well as normalising it as a circulating illness.
So many people in here saying they have it, but not one persons seems overly concerned or worried about it... This is great. 🙂
I agree to an extent, but we are still at the stage where we are morally likely to cancel things as a result of it.
I've an incredibly mild cold (positive test though), and I'll potentially be missing Olivia Rodrigo in Dublin on Thurs.
Whereas I had a heavier cold around 2 months ago and still went to football matches, restaurants, etc as I knew it wasn't covid.
I don't feel we can 'live with it' until the stigma of having it has gone sadly.

The vast majority of acts I saw over the weekend were incredible.
Any notably bad ones?
I thought Diana Ross was very poor. Also didn't enjoy Haim or Robert Plant, but I wasn't overly fussed on seeing them in the first place so wasn't too annoyed.

I saw someone in a light blue peppers costume on someone’s shoulders on the iPlayer coverage. Was that you?
Nope, I was on my mate's shoulders but I was in a pink costume with the John Lennon glasses on!
-
Olivia Rodrigo - still hoping I can test negative before I'm supposed to be seeing her in Dublin on Thursday...
-
I don't suppose anyone has ever had any joy in getting the recording of the big screens?
I managed to make it on to the big screen a couple of times in Hey Jude (in my SGT Peppers costume).
Didn't make the cut on BBC so it would be a shame to never see it again!
