With so many decisions to make all the time, I think it's best to accept that you'll make some mistakes. That's just inevitable, so accept and roll with it. 🙂 Having said that, my main mistake was walking all the way up to Diana Ross after she'd started, only to end up trekking through the back of a crazy overcrowded field and thus deciding just to leave again to get a good spot for McFly ... which I ultimatly didn't enjoy cos I thought I'd recognise a load of songs, and I only knew 2 ... while everyone else around me was loving it. But the rest of my festival went well 🙂

Used card with ease all weekend, except needed cash for a lemonade in Small World.

1. Foals 2. Paul McCartney 3. Kendrick Lamar

I've just watched it back on BBC ... no wonder I didn't realised it ended, he literally just walks off! 😅

Foals for me (also loved my other 2 headliners, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar)

I didn't realise it had ended! He played a song, then a woman in the crowd had a bit of an emotional moment with me, saying how proud she was that Kendrick was standing up for women's right, etc, and suddenly the next thing I noticed, the lights were on and the show was over! I couldn't believe it! I'm gonna have to watch it on tv to see what I missed, but it must have been quick! 😅 Cracking show though.

Has Tom Walker said the right time? There's a different act, Thee Ones, at that time.

Regrettably, I think we all have to expect many artists to pull out this year (as well as punters!). Hopefully the festival has lots of replacements already on the bench.

Interesting. Makes me think I shouldn't bring much cash ... tho I suppose, as a backup (in the lockups) if I was to lose my card, may not be a bad idea.

I've always used exclusively cash at Glastonbury, but the card/cash question just entered my mind right now. Should I bring a lot less cash this time, cos 'some' places use card. Will it be most, or a minority? What do most people expect? Are you packing much cash?

Having barely known Kendrick until a week or 2 past, I've been bingeing on the latest album, Damn, To Pimp A Butterfly and M.A.A.D City. I gather this may be completely against common opinion, but it's the latest album I'm drawn to the most, and Pimp A Butterfly which I mostly struggle with. I'm looking forward to him now though, after having no Sunday headliner a week or two back.

Their tour dates don't realistically allow that.

What's the current general knowledge of the TBAs? Paulo Nutini seems a popular guess, is that right? Didn't he self confirm a while ago? Any strong rumours of anyone else?

Foals Paul McCartney (gutted to miss Jamie T, but I've seen him loads before) Kendrick Lamar

Ah, I have indeed got today's Testing message too. I just didn't realise that was from secretGlasto, I thought it was a generic Zapier test.

Update : I've just set up Zapier, and a message came through about doing a jig. Is that it?

I believe I'm still setup since last Glastonbury, but the last one I got was June 2021.

2019 was even harder than 2016 for me. Cool and dry for this year, please!

What is the origin of this? Is it actually anything?

I would lose my mind if this happened ... but he barely ever plays live I don't think.

Foals Paul McCartney (gutted he clashes with Jamie T) Kendrick Lamar

@FloorFiller and @Tommy Dickfingers, thanks for your advice. For context, in regards to what I wanna listen to, it's simply what Kendrick is likely to play. In regards to what I've liked in the past in the genre, I've not heard a lot, but I do love XXXTentacion, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy By Kanye West. I also somehow love the song Humble already, but in the past I've tried To Pimp A Butterfly and struggled to get into it. But I'll try some other Kendrick stuff now, seeing as I'm struggling for a headliner on Sunday (if only Jamie T had been Sunday, not clashing with McCartney on Saturday! 😆)

Likewise. Do you know what you'll do? I'll almost certainly see Paul, as I've never seen him before and have seen Jamie many times. But I'm such a big Jamie T fan, its such a shame to miss him headline the tent.

My brain is telling me I shouldn't be so upset - such a total 1st world problem we are lucky to have! But I cant help the truth, I'm annoyed by this today! Mainly cos I've not got a Sunday headliner so Jamie would have been AMAZING then!

What Kendrick stuff should I listen to, to get familiar with his likely set? New album plus biggest hits?
