    2024 New Music

    Yeah that new Dua one is very underwhelming. Have loved her previous stuff but none of the 3 new singles are doing it for me at all. On the other hand, loving Chappell Roan due to some of the tips on here. Surprised no one has mentioned her new single from last week - Good Luck, Babe! Just listened to it straight after the new Dua and its miles better. Absolute Banger!
  2. Still haven't changed my mind that it is a weak line-up overall, but headliner time is incredibly strong for me. Will be doing Dua / Coldplay / Justice which will easily be the best trio in my 3 years going. Not happy I will have to miss Jessie Ware and London Grammar - but that's Glasto for you. Jessie was great on The Park in 2022, and with a new album since then she will be fantastic on West Holts.
  3. They also had footage from their Glasto 2004 Set on their Insta story about 5 days ago. I saw it and it did make me wonder. Something makes me think they might just pop up. Is there anything actually ruling them out? If the rumour that they are playing BST on the 30th is correct they might well be lined up for a Churnups slot on Friday?
  4. A Ballot is a terrible idea. I can understand some of the logic as to why it may seem fairer, but it would honestly change the vibe of the Festival and not for the better. @Physical_graffiti and @gigpusher posts explain this better than me. No system is ever perfect, but the current system is way better than a ballot or heaven forbid ... Ticketmaster.
  5. Trying to keep out of this debate all day, but the statement above is such utter nonsense. The "effort" put in varies massively. Some people refresh for 10-15 minutes and get fed-up, some don't even use F5. On the other hand I spent most of Saturday evening setting up as many devices as I could and had my Wife and kids up early and all hands on deck on Sunday morning (I hardly slept Sat night 🤣) I didn't use the hack and I got my own tickets for the 3rd year running and I firmly believe the effort I put in massively improves my odds. Luck certainly plays a huge part, but the "effort" helps significantly.
  6. I'm going again 🥳😁 That's 3 three times trying and 3 successes. Good run of luck that Hopefully third time with sunny weather too! 🤞

    2024 Headliners

    Have to agree - Gaga would be a blockbuster booking if it happened. Madonna would also be a big get and I would definitely be there, but I could imagine Gaga putting on a far better show. Would love it to be both of them
  9. Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon: ‘I’ve always refused to play Glastonbury’ ”A 21st-century rock and roll ­epitaph if ever there were one. But Le Bon and the lads have no plans to ease up. For now they are planning 2024, which will include ­appearances at festivals – although (appallingly!) not the only festival that matters: Glastonbury. “I believe they have our telephone number, we haven’t changed it” quips Rhodes. Le Bon elaborates that they have been approached to play but the offer has never been quite right: “3pm in the Disco Tent isn’t really where we see ourselves.” “A long time ago I vowed I would never set foot in Glastonbury unless it was on the Pyramid Stage at a decent hour of the night,” he says. “So although I’ve been asked to camp, to glamp and invited to fly in and out by helicopter, I’ve always refused on principle.” It does seem to be a glaring omission, but the Rolling Stones, whose debut album came out in 1964, waited half a century to get the call, in 2013. All the same it would be an outrage if Duran Duran’s Wild Boys were kept waiting much longer.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/duran-duran-simon-le-bon-interview-danse-macabre/
  10. Exactly - some absolute clunkers on Rep, but way more highlights. Still can't believe she has left a tune as good as Getaway Car out of the Era's Setlist
  11. Nah - definitely prefer Rep to Midnights. Might even place Rep higher on another day.
  12. Yep - first post since Glasto!
  13. Look What You Made Me Do ... 1989 Folklore Red Speak Now Reputation Lover Midnights Evermore Fearless Taylor Swift
  14. Gonna have to agree with you there. As someone else said, Anti Hero is a great lead single, but the album as a whole is a bit of a mixed bag. Nowhere near her best.
  15. Sorry 🤣 To be fair you can't go wrong with Texas - I am really frustrated to be missing them as I think they will be great on the Pyramid ... but Carly will bring the party. Just imagine Run Away With Me going off on a sunny Friday afternoon - what a way to get the weekend started! Sorry I will stop now 😜
  16. Sad that I wont hear Halo on the Pyramid though - this clash hurts
  17. Great post - couldn't agree more. Call Me Maybe, while still a great tune live, is not even close to her best. And yes, big love for Comeback - no chance she will play it, but if I could choose any of her back catalogue for her to play, it would be right up there
  18. You are me, except I am not torn. I finally caught her in Feb this year and it was one of the best gigs I have been to in years - so much fun from start to finish ... but I would also have loved to have seen Texas. They were one of my must sees and as @Quark says, you kind of forget how many good tunes they have. Pale Waves were also high up my list. Easily the worst clash of the weekend. However as much as it will probably be a similar set, Carly wins hands down. No way I am missing her at Glasto

    New App ?

    Very laggy on iOS - change day / select an act is so slow you think it hasn't responded and you go to tap again. Very poor Late and poor quality - not good from Vodafone
  21. Annoyingly Texas were in my top ten of acts to see from the initial poster, but CRJ wins that clash hands down for me. Probably my worst clash as I reckon Texas will go down well on a sunny afternoon on the Pyramid
  22. That’s my Friday as well, except I will stop following you around when I hop over to see CRJ instead of Texas 🤣
