TBH I'd completely forgotten that they'd been booked yet again. I wonder what sort of kompromat they have on Emily?

A bigger factor is usually a pre-existing relationship with the festival. Most secret sets tend to come from people with quite a lot of history with the farm.

I believe it was closed for the accommodation sale a couple of weeks later.

https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/2024-ticket-resale-faq/ A very limited number of tickets for which the balance was not paid, will be made available via ticket resales, which will take place at 6pm (BST) on Thursday, 18th April (Ticket + Coach travel options) and 9am (BST) on Sunday, 21st April (General Admission tickets).

Fair enough I'm not in regular touch with lots of young folk on the issue - so maybe my sense that they'd prefer to see the likes of Tyla or Tate McRae rather than Paul Heaton or Cyndi Lauper is misplaced.

I'm not so sure. SZA aside, the line-up seems light on hipper young acts - at the expense of reheated leftovers from about 10 years back

Ah - that makes sense.

I'd do something which you can *only* do at Glastonbury - catch a huge, iconic performance on El Pointo. Issue with the 2024 line up is that there aren't many obvious contenders. Dua, Shania maybe the best bets. Coldplay are too frequent a proposition to really qualify. Throwing a pot, eating a halloumi cone, grooving to Mik Artistik, checking out the comedy stylings of the Steve Frost Impro Allstars - you can do elsewhere.

Recall folk on here getting on their high horses - maybe even going so far as to complain to the festival - about the tomato fight as it was food waste whilst people were starving in Africa.

I thought they definitely owned areas like Pennards, The Park and the Arcadia field. Otherwise there are permanent building works associated with the festival - e.g. longdrops - on other people's land.

Seems counterintuitive to put people off the resale if there's a fat stack of tickets to shift.

All true for this year, but weaker line-ups for a few years in a row could certainly see it become less of a hot ticket. I don't think anyone should take it for granted forever - and we know the farm themselves don't. Plus there's the weather curve-ball.

She posted about it on her Instagram stories?

I can understand being cynical over it, but I reckon it's kosher. Otherwise why even bring it up?

Anecdotally, 2022 seems to have been quite bad for unauthorised entry.

I'm sure he can swim

Not accusing her of lying, but I am surprised. Coupled with the 'in the bones' vibe that a wet one's a-coming. SZA's a bigger draw than everyone thought...

Truth Stage is of course the Hell Stage and has probably been called a few other names over the years. Probably just new branding in line with whatever the theme is this year.

Huge GSH for Boaby the Barman

It doesn't. He secured the coveted tickets and got more lucky than most.

It would probably do well enough in Las Vegas, but there wouldn't be enough demand for it anywhere outside the US.

Nah - she'll probably do better than the likes of Arcade Fire. Will be Kendrick sort of sized.

She didn't say that. She said they had one locked and one they were hopeful about, presumably Dua Lipa and Madonna respectively
