    I'm possibly seeing;

    Beans on toast

    Will Varley

    Squid

    Boy Azooga

    Lauran Hibberd

    All on the Greenpeace stage. Saw a few acts there in 2016 including Will Varley and really enjoyed the area and stage.

    I went with a few people that 2016 was their first ever Glastonbury experience. They hated it and will never be back. It's a shame. It was awful.

    I also vowed I can't do this shit anymore.... But here I am! And I can't wait!

    2016 was mine and my wife's 1st Glastonbury experience, though we had done plenty of other festivals but it was my dad's 1st ever festival.

    We all loved it and can't wait to go back no matter what the weather.

    My dad's been to one other festival since and that was Y Not and that year the festival got cancelled due to the ground/weather conditions. He's a curse.

    Big fan of Lauran Hibberd as well. Quirky Indie guitar Pop. 

    Playing BBC introducing and Greenpeace stage 

    Perfect for an afternoon slot. I think I've scheduled in to see her on her BBC introducing slot.

  8. Who Are Your Headliners?

    in Chat

    Posted

    I love the variety of acts people are planning to see for their headliners. Other years it's seemed like more or less everyone was going to be at the same headline shows but this time there's a nice mix.

    Mine is most likely to be

    Frank Turner

    The Killers

    The Cure

    But all of them could change depending on where I am beforehand or what the mood is like.

    Them and Sundara Karma. Doesn't make sense why they aren't playing JPT or Other. Especially with the likes circa waves and wombats getting slots. 

    I love seeing acts in smaller venues than what they would normally be in and it's a reason why I'm loving the lineup so much but some of the placings are strange.

    It's a nice surprise that they're on the line up but Sunflower bean booking seems a bit odd to me. Maybe it's my inflated opinion of them but surprised they're not doing another gig somewhere else over the weekend in a bigger venue.

    Adding this which someone put in the day and stage thread as it's also a (good) self confirm. Would presume JP.

    Oh that's good news. They are excellent! Think they have a Dog Die in Hot Cars vibe to them.

    The thing listed as Spike Sessions are little live sets in Spike early afternoon, could that be a possibility for her?

    Yeah that would make sense I suppose.

    Southampton based artist March, previously known as Kitty O'Neil said that she was playing in the Glade area. If you like Laura Marling then she should be your bag.

    Can't see her on any of the Glade posters so not sure where she's playing exactly.

    I find it sad that people feel the need for a woman only venue at Glastonbury and I don't feel it should be there but that's not because I think it's sexist or anything but because we live in a such a shit state of a country that even in a place like Glastonbury there's enough people that don't feel safe while trying to enjoy entertainment.

    We should have a festival without any segregation, no matter how small the venue is but if even 1 person needs a safe space then so be it and I am supportive of it.

    The problem is considering its in an area where people are at their most mashed and when people are mashed tends to be when they use that as an excuse to act out of order how are people that feel unsafe get the benefit from the venue? If I was worried about getting abused I don't think a wander down the south east corner in the early hours would be appealing and that makes the whole sad state of affairs so sad.

    For me Jonathan Pie is like an uncle or a family friend down who is down the pub all the time. Funny at times but also times when he says things that are just a bit embarrassing for him really but he's too oblivious to notice or knows he's saying it for laughs. 

    Can't really take his character seriously but if you're a fan great. If you're not then fine. He is a bit of a marmite character.

    I used to be a school governor and was on the board dealing with staff issues like pay and holidays (or perks).There is a lot of wiggle room and often space for compromise, you might have to do a fundraiser or summer/winter fair or two. Just be up front about it. I used to take my 5 kids out as well as taking them out for snowdays. I appreciate it's not the same but your application may fall on similar ears. 

    Yeah I suppose I meant I can't bank on being allowed the time off. I work within a small specialist provision which has it's own specialist staff which is great but means there's less options for cover if I have the time off.

    Having just started working at a school and absolutely loving it I don't see myself quitting my job to go to Glastonbury even though for me Glastonbury is in a league of it's own when it comes to festivals. 

    I knew when taking the job that for as long as I'm in this job I am very unlikely to be able to go to Glastonbury again so this year I am really going to make the most of it.

    If I was in a job that didn't require being there in late June/early July then I would find it really hard to understand why an organisation wouldn't give the time off. It's not like Glastonbury is over a peak time of the year for time off and because of the need to try for tickets so long before the festival it means there's loads of notice and therefore even less reasons for the leave not to be granted so if that was the case then I would at least look for a new job and want out ASAP.
