  1. Far-right Said Fred. As a female, I agree. I have ovaries and no musical talent, so why are girls being booked? Glasto was better when it was a wall-to-wall sausage fest.
  2. More room for me and my picnic blanket down the front of the pyramid then. Don't know who anyone on the lineup is, but I'll film it all for my socials - got to get the likes
  3. I think you can get notifications from the official app to remind you when something's on. I haven't used them, but could be easier than trying to read the set times
  4. I reckon this will be used for the highlights compilation at the end.
  5. Emily overlooked vampire weekend because she wanted more dIvErSiTy, or because they took the $$$ to be a festival exclusive at primavera?
  6. People saying Pulp have no new music, but I don't think that's important for a "heritage" headliner. Nobody went to last year's Saturday headliner* hoping to hear some new tunes. I'm not saying Pulp should headline, but I think they could with the right balance of other headliners (ie don't put them, Blur and Radiohead on the same year). * I'm not naming them here because I don't want to summon a particular person to rant about them all over this thread.
  7. Are you saying Little Simz and Burna Boy aren't different genres and are too samey?

    Weather v Line up

    I don't blame you for doubting me because I generally have a terrible memory! Most years at glasto I've just been with my OH, sometimes with 1-2 friends, but there were 7 of us in '07 which makes it easier for me to differentiate that year. There might've been some rain on the wed/thur but I don't think it was problematic until the fri. This was the cinema field on the Thurs night, and people are sat on the floor. My friends wanted to see Ghostbusters, and when I pointed out it was followed by Blues Brothers they had no idea what I was talking about. Philistines 😂

    Weather v Line up

    The 1 benefit 2007 had over 2016 was the wed and thur were dry so you could sit & chill. 2016 even if there was less rain during the festival, the ground was already f**ked before we got there. Also I was younger in '07 so could probably cope better 😂 Good weather (not too hot or wet) is more important than lineup IMHO.
  10. Although me and the 3 other people who were at St Vincent a couple of years ago would probably be happy to see her back, I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't a big fan. Anyway, there's still loads to be announced.
  11. Seen a few people claiming they're going to put their tickets back in the pot, maybe you should give the resale a try? Although watching it at home does make it easier to deal with the clashes 😂
  12. Pretty sure that's always the case with the 1st poster
  13. My mum has moved beyond radio 2 and now listens to absolute 60s. It's probably a positive that glasto are booking headliners she's never heard of.
  14. Sneaking spirits in is the easy part, need to find somewhere to hide a 2L bottle of mixer 😂
  15. I suppose if someone is talented/dedicated enough to get into brit school they've probably got a bit of an advantage!
  16. Fair enough, knew there was something dodgy going on with them. Killed princess Di so Elton could get another number 1
  17. Just out of curiosity, who do you think is artificially boosting her popularity? Is there some secret pop illuminati controlling the hype?
  18. How long do we reckon it'll be before Somerset live and the like start reporting this?
  19. Host: Thanks Emily for that fascinating talk on women in the music industry. Now, do we have any questions from the audience? A dozen middle-aged men in efest t shirts: When's the lineup out? Why did Stevie fall through? Are Kings of Leon playing the churnups slot? Why don't you get Nick Cave to headline the pyramid?... 😂
  20. It was a women's game, maybe in 2019? Was on the Wed or Thur and initially the fest seemed to have no intention of showing it until it was pointed out they'd shown men's football (even when it clashed with the main stages & they had to set up a screen in the car park) so why not show the women's when there's nothing else on west holts.
  21. They've held off on any announcements because when the poster drops the first letter of each act will spell out the names for the secret sets.
  22. Don't know about the Google 1 but what3words uses GPS and doesn't need a data signal (it won't load the background map if you're offline, but you don't really need that at glasto). You just need to wait 30 secs to 1 min after opening it so it can get a more accurate location for you.
