[outside of glastonbury]

I'm in IT so spend much of my time being used as a doormat by technically clueless users. Also work for one of the worst, laziest, Public Sector shitholes you can imagine, but fortunately will be leaving in a week to work for a proper organisation and will have a view from the Liver Building!

[radiohead]

I'm a big Radiohead fan so had no problem with them playing the new stuff. I did however think some of it was patchy to say the least. Good Morning Mr Magpie was the best of the new stuff live and up there with most of t he rest of their back catalogue. The new song sounded superb, the rest of the stuff off In Rainbows, Amnesiac etc sounded very good. Not the best I've seen them but I wouldn't have been anywhere else at that time. I would have liked to of seen them play 2 or 3 off Hail to the Thief though. I really like King of Limbs so I'm looking forward to seeing them again once they are fully familiar with playing it live.

[Going Against the Grain a Bit Here]

Yes believe it or not I really enjoyed my first Glastonbury. I didn't make the most of Shangri La because I'm very claustrophobic and those alleyways are a bit crowded and enclosed for me (yes I know I'm a pussy). Other than that though I had a quality time. Watching the sun set from the top of the stone circle on Wednesday whilst getting smashed, Radiohead, B.A.D, U2, Eels, Elbow, Big Boi, Pieminister, that chicken dinner stall, that band playing tetris, I could go on. Class.

[How good were Elbow]

It was my favorite performance I've seen from any band. Everything was perfect. Loved seeing a band who've grafted their nuts off for 20 years get the recognition they deserve and love it as much as I would. Special performance from a special band.

[The Festival's Not What It Used to Be]

I'm a spoilt, middle class kid attending Glasto for the first time. I'm going to parade around in top man t shirt and hunter wellies thoroughly dulling the whole place up waiting for the Kaiser Chiefs.

[This tine in ONE week]

I will be in a self drive mini van with a group of mates about 3 hours into an 8 hour journey from the North East listing to a soundtrack of Glasto bands on the cd player.

[Why am I not excited?!?]

I'm not excited yet for 2 reasons:

My first Glastonbury.

I have 8 and a half days of drudgery left before I set off for Pilton.

[The Gaslight Anthem]

They don't play Film Noir anymore?

[Paul Simon]

You've started me watching f**k loads of Bruce on youtube now, and made my missus all pissed off I'm not coming to bed.

[The Suns Gordon Smart is a twat !]

Hold on a sec! This will be my first Glasto. You mean to tell me you can't just piss anywhere and have to use toilets? What about pissing in a pint cup and hoying it in the crowd like you're allowed to do at Leeds Festival? What on earth have I let myself in for? Next you'll be telling me nobody shouts 'bollocks' at the top of their voice all the time or sets fire to other people's tents.

[Weather thread 2011]

It's my first Glastonbury, I went camping at the weekend and it lashed it down all night. I hope that wasn't an omen. My tent bedroom compartment was bone dry though happily.

[Where are people travelling from?]

I'll be travelling about 7-8 hours from sunny Teesside. Up the Boro.

[Resale Question]

Thanks for your help mate.

[Resale Question]

I already have a ticket for Glastonbury but I will be trying in the resale for some friends who are registered. If I get through and want to buy 3 tickets will the money come out of one bank account or can I enter in bank details for each one of them 3 people? I only ask because my mate is adamant that the money has to come out of one bank account.

[Shangri La Opening]

my thoughts: organising your Saturday evening in March? i admire and applaud your enthusiasm, but best laid plans and all that..

[Shangri La Opening]

Hello, this year will be my first Glasto. My mate has been banging on about the opening of Shangri La (for each night not for the whole festival) saying it's something special and that Saturday is the main night for it. I'm leaning towards having my mind blown by the Chemical Brothers on the Other stage though.

What's everyone on here's thoughts?

[Count the White Stripes out]

Gutted, they were one of my "coming of age" bands. I was hoping they'd release new stuff and tour again. I like Jack's other projects but the White Stripes were by far the best in my opinion.

[Roger Bloody Waters]

Roger Waters playing The Wall at Glasto would be immense. Saw him on the Dark Side of the Moon tour in 2006, it was amazing, one of my favourite gigs of all time. I prefer The Wall to DSOTM.

[Weather thread 2011]

First Gastonbury for me, it's going to piss it down all weekend for that reason alone. Might make it easier to get tickets in 2013.

[Regarding muse.....]

I don't want a so called bigger band to headline on Saturday. There's no band in the world I'd rather see live at this minute in time than Muse.

You are either a child or a retard. Which is it?

[Radiohead fans]

Yeah, It's not like they're The Smiths!! Now there's a band worth being obsessed with. For me at least. I never really listen to them anymore, however, but I'd always say they were my favourite band ever. That is what I think Radiohead have done to a lot of their fans. They've become a habit as opposed to a real love.

Pretty much anyone who rates Radiohead as one of their favourite bands ever (particularly if they're including the last few albums or are under 25 years old) doesn't have a valuable opinion about anything they do now because they've already blindly given their heart to anything Radiohead do (or don't). Like me with Morrissey and The Smiths.

I once claimed that "Kill Uncle" was a brilliant album that rivaled anything brought out around the same time. I still think that, actually. But then I am still obsessed with Moz.

[Further ticket sales for 2010?]

Make sure you're online ten mins before the exact time the tickets go on sale - with a good broadband connection and your registration number - and you have a good chance. Get refreshing.

Plus, there's a mailing list run by a member of this site alerting if any tickets go on sale unannounced. Search back old threads and join this.

[Further ticket sales for 2010?]

Hello, I have just registered for Glastonbury 2010. Having never been before I was wondering what my chances are of getting a ticket on the resales and when they are likely to be based on previous years?

[PEARL JAM]

Absolutely amazing, setlist was spot on except for Jeremi not being there but you can't have everything. Highlight - the drum solo halfway through Evenflow just before the last chorus, 2 minutes of leathering the drums and then it all fitted back into the song perfectly.

When are they playing the UK again? I want more.
