    2004 was my very first Glastonbury. I peaked early. Macca Oasis and early Muse hasn't been beaten as a trio I don't think. 

    Neil young, Springsteen and the best Blur gig of all time would like a word imo

    Catching up on the Manics set from yesterday, and did multiple double takes as the drummer lad appears to have morphed into middle aged Roger Taylor

    The Stones and even Blur in 09 had a soulful set of backing singers to give certain moments extra weight

     

    This version of Sweet Child Of Mine rally would benefit from the same

    Oh I should have waited to hear this rendition of November rain

    So, setlist.fm says we have a GnR cover of agadoo by black lace coming up and I don't know if I want that to be a hoax or not 

    I'm on a rewind of the park enjoying Leftfield play Phat Planet but will obvs switch over as and when this new reality emerges

    Nothing new. Elton will have one too. Mick Jagger has one. Lionel had one. Prince used one. dave gahan uses one.

    Fair enough! Literally never noticed it before (first fest watching at home since 08 probably a large part of it...)

    One of my favourite bands but they would want to get their arse in gear.

     

    I don't think they know what they want to be anymore. they sneer at their own older stuff.

    Isn't that the point? They know what they want to be, and it isn't just banging out the old hits?

    I kinda respect them for it, but it's not for me Bob

    Struggling a bit to get into this Arctic Monkeys set, when i was there in 2013 i left half way through to watch Portishead, i'd suspect if i was there now i'd be heading over to watch Hot Chip

    I mean, that 2013 decision was one of the best of your life, no?

    Paired my Bluetooth speaker to the telly to get better sound for AM. Realised that Alex's affected accent is worse loud

     

    Moved over to WizKid, but it's BBK empty

    When your DJ says "Move closer to the stage,  we're ready to party" it's not looking good 😞

    First fest I'm missing since 2008, and no idea how I'll approach it til the day tbh. The other half is on nights all weekend, so the days will be spent entertaining the kids. Reckon an outdoor TV and a fire for the evenings might be in order tho 

  20. Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

    Saw Self Esteem last night at O2 Academy Sheffield.  Much bigger show now with costume changes and more choreo.. loved the new song Mother, I think the other new one will grow on me..  her old music teacher was next to me on the barrier and RLT said “I can’t believe you’re here!”.. the crowd sang happy birthday to her Dad too who was at the side of the stage.. all in all a brilliant home gig.  Lovely crowd too..

    Great pics! I was MUCH further back, but a really lovely crowd and a great show.  3rd time in a year for me (after Glasto and Deer Shed) and it's grown each time.  RLT is ace, up to her how far she goes I reckon

  21. Post resale ticket cancellation

    in Questions

    Posted

    I managed to get a ticket in the coach sale but noone else in my group went for them...

    Unfortunately, none of them then got tickets in the main sale.

    I'm not up for doing the festival solo this year, not feeling robust enough. What are my options? If I pay the balance on the hope that they get resale tickets, and they fail, can I still cancel my coach package?
