Mr Benn Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Can someone shed some light on what's different this year in terms of it being a 5 day festival?? I've been several years and always gone down on the Wednesday anyway - is the whole site gonna be open for the 5 days with (headlining) acts on? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 The major stages will only happen on the Friday, Saturday & Sunday as normal. It's yet to be confirmed, but it's VERY likely that they'll be a greater amount of entertainment on the Thursday than there's been in previous years, plus some entertainment on the Wednesday for the first time.

ThomThomDrum Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I like the idea (history) of there being no listed entertainment on the Wed...........so Wed is for basically getting there, setting up, walking about aimlessly and pretty much chilling out...........Now it sounds as if Wed will be the new Thurs, but there is nothing to replace the old Wed.........Unless they let us on site on the Tue!!!

Messy Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) 17 of June would be better. (I finish my exams on the 16th.) Bugger it, just open the site the entire year round. Edited January 20, 2009 by Messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuwarr Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 For the first time on Wednesday?! Last year there were DJ sets and various other performances going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenbha Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I think it means publicised performances rather than stuff to be stumbled upon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Lineups etc have rarely been announced ahead of time, but several of the smaller stages have put on a fairly decent showing on the Wednesday for the past few years. The Banyan Tree Cafe (RIP) used to take great pride in being the first place on site to open (starting at 10am Wednesday), and in 2008 all bar a couple of the various stages in the Greenfields were up and running by about 8pm Wednesday. yup, but that's ad-hoc entertainment nothing to do with the festival. It's likely that there'll be some "official" stuff this year, tho I understand that currently it's not a definite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxhoyland Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 This is seriously good news. I remember watching Captain in The Crown on the Thursday evening at Glasto 07 - absolutely quality! It's all so exciting on Wedensday and Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Fish Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I like the fact there's no entertainment on a Wednesday. Being sat in the sun at Brothers bar, getting absolutely hammered and having a laugh with friends. Usually my favourite night of the festival.
