Are you sure? The tipi village ones are supplied by Hearthworks https://hearthworks.co.uk/ There are 3 different tipi areas: Tipi Field - open to the public, venues, drumming workshops and so on Tipi Village - the Hearthworks ones sold by the festival directly. In a field next to the Tipi Field, but wristband access required Tipi Park - backstage at The Park. I thought these were more for performers, VIPs, Lauren Laverene and so on.

Yup. They're rare as hens teeth.

I'm afraid not - you'd also need a Worthy View booking to be able to access the site via Worthy View. You'd have to go to general parking.

Interesting - any idea of prices?

There's no parking included and no compartments for privacy. And a hard and fast 6 maximum wristbands per booking.

A lot of the people staying there will be performers or celebrities. Yer Lars Ulrichs and Bradley Coopers and so on.

He didn't the last time he played.

For reasons too tedious to explain here we ended up getting collected by our taxi outside Pennard Orchard. Seems very much a high end / luxury choice. https://www.pennardorchard.co.uk/

Grace Jones is more of a WH headliner - but those in the know say she's turned down the G as it doesn't pay enough money.

I don't disagree, but the list of candidates isn't endless. Now that Aretha's brown bread and Elton is headline or nothing there's only really Cher and Barry Manilow left from the God Tier candidates.

The band were great, Ross herself seemed to be enjoying herself and the setlist was more or less on point. Just the vocals that let the side down.

The sound mix on her vocals was all over the place - kept going up and down. I guess to compensate for the wind - but it made things worse. Didn't really impact the mother of all parties going on in the pit.

This is a GOAT banger and guaranteed taps aff moment

Indeed. It'll be their declining popularity that does for them.

Not that unique

Radiohead

Sure. It's all hypothetical until they do or don't book them. But I'd say the slot certainly favours acts who're household names and that have a catalogue of widely-recognised songs that act as nostalgic triggers. It's why Cher would be a better booking than someone like Richard Thomson. He doesn't command the same affection.

She's got a few signature songs - but that doesn't mean she wrote them. Sinatra didn't write My Way either.

I agree they’ve not got as deep a bench of tunes as Kylie - but the big songs are bloody enormous.

I don't know about 'stupid' - but it'd be a tap in - right act in the right slot that would draw an enormous crowd.

They're principally singers / entertainers, as opposed to songwriters / musicians. Same as the Spice Girls.

Diana Ross, Kylie, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Tony Bennett....

Would you say they werent qualified if the slot was known as The Radio 2 Sunday Teatime Slot? Cos that's what, in reality, the Legends Slot is, not the Godlike Genius Songwriters Slot.

What did he say? Bob in the legends and Roxy elsewhere on the big one at another time would be far from the worst outcome.

In the past you've been able to buy two in the same transaction cos I did it one year (2017). But - genuinely - it's as difficult as getting a ticket in the first place.
