PM me your number and ill get one started

is that whatsapp group dead now? Should I start a new one?

also any decent psych or indie, or general must sees?

anyone else going solo? Maybe set up a whatsapp group for a meet up?

Such an underrated tune, my fav too.

my stewarding application has been approved, no further details yet though!

is there crew camping/parking for this? Applied on Friday, they responded today saying they are still looking for volunteers

What time are your shifts?

thinking of volunteering for this and going solo, any got any experience of this?

Yeeeaaahhh, it might be all that you get

Was hoping for the Beatles Dub Club to pop up

Think he's been trying to do a Liverpool date, fairly sure there is no concerts at Anfield next summer due to redevelopment works

people/mates connected with the band, stage, people working the stage, people who are close to the fest/area, record label, lots of people on site who have seen a sign/heard something. Its utterly random and very few people with repeat info. Someone with 60 followers might give us info to amplify it beyond their followers. For example Jack White this year, a long time follower of the account got in touch, wouldnt put any info down in writing, I had to ring them up, they wanted to give something back after using the account previously, they had rock solid info but wouldnt give it to us unless we promised not to tweet out until the day so we had to sit on it for 11 days, but I more than heavily hinted it on here.

just posted below about the self-fulfilling nature of getting info!

the traffic this website gets in the lead up to the fest is huge, and you see the rumours/info on here spill onto twitter/reddit and blow up, and then ironically people then DM SecretGlasto twitter passing it off as their own info. If we scale it back to just here, that would obviously piss off all the twitter followers and i'd imagine the info to the account would dry up as a result and we'd be back to the efests group think on secrets/getting info from other sources and essentially be collating info rather than getting it.

how would you get it back to just being (or mainly) for this forum? genuine question btw. Secret thread for logged in members / new twitter account?

On another related note personally I think the account has gotten so big it can no longer fulfill what it originally set out to do, and could do in its earlier years when it had a few thousand followers and not much of a rep. Was easy to put out info for anyone who followed it to get to all the secrets in good time. Loads of people still get info and value from it, but sending something to 50,000 people (contextualise that number for a second!) and their friends is obviously a different beast so the approach needs to be adapted. Whats the answer other than to nuke it? Even if that happens, something else will pop up and take its place pretty rapidly.

As one of those in the 'clique' I can tell you a saw a grand total of zero sets and told noone else any of the info other than my posts here, but spent a fair amount of time combing through info to help run it. Literally of no benefit to meyself. Pretty much all the info was posted up on here in one guise or another. In fact a few people got annoyed at me for repeatedly saying Jack White is the Sunday Park slot, whilst everyone else was still hoping for Green Day. Just looking back I posted on here Bastille info 14 June, Jack White 17th June. I think they were the only two we had solid info directly from us, everything else was already out there from other places and we just collate it. You say to post it up on here but if we do with great certainty it just ends up on twitter and puts the whole thing in jeopardy of not happening. From the outside looking in, it may seem glamarous or something to be running the account, but there is literally about 700+ DMs in the space of 4-5 days whilst at the fest to deal with. Worrying about peoples safety, as well not wanting to send out duff info.

He's not a headliner with the current crowd, things have moved on too much. Whether he can accept playing the other who knows.

looks like the organiser of this petition has been in touch with every paper/website as loads of them running with it. Doesnt look like they've actually ever been to Glastonbury either, strange to be so passionate about it out of nowhere

Still positive after a week but feel ok today, no idea if I'm still infectious to any extent and whether I should be going out and about

they should rename it BBC sounds, stick the BBC intro just outside and have that play during the interval, will catch some leaving/coming to the main tent

its on his headstone, thing with the Peel stuff, its not exactly new info and the fest have ignored it up to now

what was the stage lyric? not sure why this chap has started this campaign now, noticed he'd been spamming loads of big glasto accounts, now DM article and still 200 sigs. Wonder if they want the glory of being responsible for the name change. Not the first time this convo has come up. Can't see them changing it for this reason.
