    The problem for these types of headliners which have massively long sets and plenty of prestige, is that they have to grab you from the off. It's a festival, not their private concerts to their die-hard fans. You have to go big early doors, otherwise it's disappointing. 

    I remember ditching Radiohead after 20 mins because they bored the socks off me (despite being a big Radiohead fan), and went to see Dizzee Rascal on West Holts and his set was so amazing and energetic, it was one of the best atmospheres I've been a part of during all the time I've been there.

    (Not a dig) but completely disagree with you. Front loaded sets are disappointing.

    SATURDAY

    Improved temperatures in this run to 18, but a bit of heavier rain around mid-afternoon to tea time. Clear in the evening and overnight.

    Now this is BIG news.

    The low pressure doesn't come over the UK on Saturday, and sits out to the west. Hence the improved Saturday temps and the bands of rain not coming in.

    Can this continue through to Sunday?

    Yes good work, but also

    yes

    1975 could easily be WG Thurs or BBC Intro, for example, if they're there at all.

    1975 in WG a few years back was the worst set I’ve seen at Glasto.

  4. Oh my good lord. I was hyped but that was a ridiculous mess. There was lots wrong but by an order of magnitude:

    1) Bar system need a complete revamp. Awful, every bar I went to. Even pre-pouring the beers would save some of the wait. Jesus.

    2) there’s no where near enough room in the front bit of the double stage so both left and right are massive pinch points. They need to - at least - direct people leaving an act to go one way I.e left stage act finishes, leave on the left.

    Wowza. I actually can’t believe how bad it was. 
     

    Edit: completely forgot the water situation… trying to imagine glastonbury getting away with that…

    Lol I must have been the only stupid person with a W1+W2 ticket who didn't know about the separate queue and waited an hour to get in... But oh well, it was still worth it, I thought Rina Sawayama was awesome and the crowd was really into it, great way to start the festival!

    Did anyone manage to get into Sala Upload? The app showed that it was already full around the time Teto Preto started playing so I didn't even try...

    How do you see this in the app?

    The slightly panicky and passive aggressive AccessTicket email they just sent out doesn't suggest a huge number of people have taken them up on doing it so far...!

    Makes more sense that it was a covid pass hedge - still doesn’t stop it being a pain in the arse though.

    Just noticed that there's only 3 acts on the first Saturday on Estrella stage (Gorillaz final act scheduled ends at 1:20), whereas all the other fest days have 4 acts there, and it's the only day of the whole festival that there's no artist playing at / after 2am, or even past 3am. Maybe an open slot for a mid-tier addition? 

    Surprise headliner to close the festival... 👀

    Here we goooooooo back to endless speculation. The best kind.

    They've said 'two weeks before' and two weeks before is today.

    Is ambiguous but I read this tweet as they are about to publish them.

     

    Let’s indulge in some wild efestivals over analysis…

    The context of that meme is “I’ve made a mistake and now I’m getting a lot of shit for it” … under their post saying the set times were coming 2 weeks before the festival…

    It’s delayed isn’t it.
