Nice one Sam,

A title that will give people the opportunity to look at the post with the view to commenting that you should 'read previous posts'...

But alas... you fooled them... as your real intention was to express your frustration at the lack of new 'rumours' which in itself is an equally pointless post.

The 'rumours' are just 'rumours' and so what you should have used in the narrative of you stealth post was the question 'why no recent confirmations'.

That would have been a much better questions but equally as pointless as the 'arena' and 'rumours' comments.

So... it seems you have done something extra-ordinary here Sam, you have issued a pointless title with a completely different subject matter than the title sugests which is also as pointless anyway. Bravo!

Just messin' with ya Sam, no harm intended - although I am right in what I say ;-)

And just to make up for it... here is a rumour for you - The Beatles Reloaded, starring Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Dhani Harrison and Julian Lennon - beat that for a rumour!!!!

Sorry, just in a sarcastic mood. :D

Night.

As for rumours ... There will allegedly be no drinking, smoking, singing, dancing, any form of behaviour that comes anywhere remotely close to indicating 'punters enjoying themselves', eating, pink elephants, tables, tents, chairs, umbrellas, pixies, gazebos or bl**dy flags in the Arena. This is apparently so as to comply with the recent EU "Enjoying yourself and/or doing what you want to do regardless of what everyone else wants to do is not politically correct enough and clearly demonstrates way too much of a desire for freedom of choice so is therefore banned as of right now" Directive :D

Ah, 'tis true but then again, whilst just about all previous posts/threads will have had you believe that there is no arena and all that at Glasto ... this is most definitely not the case this year of course :)

Glasto 2009 apparently features a shiny new Arena homer%20shriek.jpg

So there you have it. It's now official and all that. Glasto 2009 now with shiny new Arena ! What is the world coming to ? And more to the point, just how silly do all those "not another arena stylee thread, why don't you use the search and read any one of the 'n' thousand other arena stylee threads before posting a new one" peeps feel now :D

Clicky For Linky to play the Glasto 2009 spot the Arena game :)

I have just come back from the library as I was doing some research about Gurus and yes - it DOES seem we need copious amounts of cider. But the ancient scrolls do say that the cider has to be bought by somebody else otherwise it does not qualify as a 'guru cider' drink.

I think we are gonna have a great Glasto Em. :P

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
