Hi all Iggy here. At the efests meet we can please all talk over each other and incoherently ramble on. If people bring spirits I'll bring the mixer. Iggy's pop.

the secretglasto meet up is on the Wednesday as well, its so secret no one has ever turned up though

tbf Sweden sent in heaver hitter to get it done, the only thing I question about it is her staging was too complicated so they had to have a break before and after her perfomance no one else was given that luxury what a week for Liverpool though

thats a real step down for editors

Nope, why?

Beatles Dub Club Thursday night on the Truth stage

I see the Views comeback is going well https://twitter.com/TheRockRevival_/status/1656418773979602944

@Gnomicide We've been spoilt for choice this week, Sophie Ellis Bextor is playing the Kitchen Section of John Lewis tomorrow. I keep meaning to catch Roy, seen he's supported in some rowdy settings!

I'm assuming the person who actually needs the ticket has to come forward to claim the prize. Not worth risking returning yours to claim a free one imo. Tbh if a mate won me a ticket, i'd happily pay for theirs or at least go halves on it!

the reason she was upset missing out on tickets, this was the last year her kid could have got in for free being under 12 Also put another post up showing Reading ticket bought, sod Glasto or words to that effect Contrast to the joy of those random people opening the chocolate bar to reveal the golden ticket, its night and day. maybe i'm being harsh and soulless 🤣

she wants ticketmaster to take over and have a queue for Glasto.. no thanks 🤣 I reckon someone who works at vodafone watches her on twitch and somehow found themselves in a position to help and thought it would slip under the radar. It just doesnt seem very professional for a big company to pick that tweet out, and there is no unique words in her twitter post to pull out a 6 month old post on a random search either, really odd

something very off about pulling a random old sweary tweet slagging off seetickets to then be given tickets out the blue? hmm I'm sure it would be easy to pull a much better tweet from the recent resale

are we behind on announcements now? seems lots of stages having some problems. I'd rather we just got a steady drip of 5-6 names a week like other Euro fests from Sept/October. Mad rush to listen to 500 artists in a month is a bit rubbish, would give lots of small acts a leg up than everyone plonking themselves outside the stage with the known name

They've used the festival line up generator made by someone on here 🤣

Apparently the cinema tent will only be showing Michael's old VHS collection of Steven Seagal films. He will introducing each film stating it's his best one ever.

Someone's been told to drop him a ticket 🤣

I seen a comment saying why is a music festival replacing a music stage so someone can have a mess around with some cars. No way would the festival allow a newbie to come up with the idea but an old long standing friend of the festival gets away with it.. Don't agree entirely but not far off

The tent doesn't get the capacity it should be getting Fri-Sun. Moving it out the way isn't the answer

They should have 2 BBC sized intro tents facing each other. 1 on at all times. Might keep a crowd in the area

The way it used during Worthy Pastures it could have been made into a nice chill zone. A walkaway/photo op is essentially what it will be.

Feels a bit pointless, rather an expanded food and drink area if they are binning the music

Did he confirm for CN thinking another stage would sort the tickets?

I think the current system gives tickets to the more committed people, lots of fair weather people would drop out late when line ups/stage times/weather rolls in if tickets could be moved on easily

Do Greenpeace get a separate announcement?

Heard of a few announcements next week and week after. Hardly earth shattering news but still
