  1. Looks like the food in the VIP area has had a major upgrade this year. A place called Stripclub Streetfood are doing burgers and they look absolutely amazing on their instagram, and theres going to be a stonebaked pizza place in there as well.

    I think due to his level of performance and we way he has evolved live, he's way ahead of where he was when I first saw him in 2016, and then on the Damn tour in 2018, I think way down the line he could be asked back to headline again. On iplayer it looked stunning, cant imagine how good it must have been in the field, cant wait for Birmingham in November.

    Would you say Kendrick has a lot of party/dance tunes ? I wouldn’t and he nailed it. Grey area has some bangers on it imo, introvert is a much more polished, grander sound, its the type of album a true artist should be making. Im talking about her headlining in 2 albums time so if she breaks through with something commercial on the next one and builds from there who knows, she could def cater to the die hards and casuals by then

    Couple more albums and id say Little Simz would be in the running as well
  5. For all the comments about this place if I see it at Tramlines I've got to try it. I dont mind paying out for food either if its good quality. Went to see The Music reunion show at Temple Newsam over the jubilee weekend. Payed a tenner for some salt and chill chicken strips that came with salt and pepper fries underneath and crispy onions and curry sauce over the top, was amazing.
  6. The day George Ezra gets his own stage is the day the festival should be burned to the ground !!
  7. There used to be a tented bar near John Peel that did amazing bloody marys.
  8. I loved the size of the crowd for both those sets, felt full enough to have a great atmosphere but wasn't stupidly busy, watched them both near the back of the field and had a great time
  9. Hi Yog. 2013 is my all time favorite year, there was absolute magic in the air that year after the fallow year, me and the wife likened it to a second honeymoon. We've really fell in love with the city festivals, started with Trnsmt in 2018, 2019, Tramlines last year and going back this year. Its a nice mix having a festival but my wife being able to take her time in a morning without the hustle and bustle of a festival campsite first thing, last year we finished our festival by going back into Sheffield and going for an all you can eat Cantonese. This year we've got an apartment for 5 of us 30 minutes walk, with smoking balcony and fully working kitchen so we don't have to rush out for food in a morning, can really relax and then once we're in the festival we've done VIP which is great at Tramlines, no queuing for a drink or toilets all weekend.
  10. Campings not an issue buddy. We're doing 3 separate weekends in August camping with the kids at campsites around Yorkshire, it really is just the size of Glasto and the ammount of walking thats the issue. We're hoping she has the opp to remove her thyroid in October so we'll see how things improve after that.
  11. Thank you. We're very much looking forward to watching it on TV. Then we've got Foals at Castlefield Bowl on 29th, then Tramlines festival next month, 5 of us with our own apartment for the weekend only 30 minutes walk from the site.
  12. Aye. Not going this year. My lovely wife, who is my partner in crime at Glasto, has a chronic illness which stops her from walking or driving long distances, she's finally having the op to remove her thyroid later this year so we may return one day, but we did 2010-2017 together, and have some amazing memories, I'm actually at peace with potentially never going again, her health and well being is way more important. We've started doing city festivals with hotels in between each night since she was diagnosed.
  13. Unlike the likes of The Wombats, The Kooks etc the boy actually has something to say.

    You could easily see the start of Libs and end of Marley as Libs start earlier.

    Was just about to mention "I", its my favorite Kendrick song as it personally resonated with me when I was in a very dark place after making a mess of Glasto 2015, came home physically and mentally broken, not good !! luckily he was still playing it live first time I saw him and it slapped hard, was so good !! Hope he brings it back as a live cut as he didnt play it on the DAMN ! tour.

    Shes got an issue with her thyroid called Graves disease, its manageable but she cant walk long distances with it so Glasto is a no no, we might never go back, which I'm fine with. We had our honeymoon at Glasto in 2010, 2013 and 2017 were absolutely magical years as well, so I'd never go withourt her unless she gave me her blessing to do so one year. Yes, I think he's back to full band this year, all suited and booted. I'm onto my 3rd playthrough of Mr Morale and it might become my favorite Kendrick album. I love his other albums but can really relate to some of the subject matter on this one, he's talking about some really raw and deep stuff at times, plus the production, especially some of the background beats, are so good. Mother I Sober with Beth Gibbons is so stunning !! Grey Area by Little Simz is still my favorite hip hop album of all time though.

    Do we think he's going to have a full band visibly on stage with him so he can interact with the band members, like Reading/Leeds 2005, or in the shadows like the DAMN ! tour. I've seen both and the Leeds 2005 was much better having the band front and centre with him. I'm not even going to Glasto this year as my wife isnt well enough, but im so excited to see what he does !!

    The albums a masterpiece, he's rapping about real world issues, and the production and guest spots are top notch
