A little "usherette" style tray, and a sh!tload of Skittle Vodka for a euro a shot would fill the gap admirably! :rolleyes:

I think cheesy 80's pop disco is a great theme...anyone for the Chicken Song and Superman and Agadoo? Tinsel wigs galore! Who's bringing the shuttlecocks?

I love the way an idea tends to snowball on here :( . The curtains could easily be overcome by the addtion of those fly catcher type affairs am sure the pound shop can supply and they are lightweight - some gaffer tape and away we go.

I'd rather go cheesy 80s songs that thought they were being taken seriously. Hence Club Tropicana etc. But it's trivialities relative to the big idea.

As for shuttlecocks, how about the efests Olympics instead of World Cup, 3pm Pyramid Field on the Wednesday?

Oh lord..it begins!

Tbh...I wondered if the Efest Footy may (and may still become) something bigger next year...kinda hopefully snowball into a celeb 5 a Side thing maybe?

Does anyone recall the 5 A Side affairs at the Phoenix Festival? Ok so it was incorporated into the festy with an arena, seating and proper commentary and so on...but could not something be pulled off possibly?

BUT...Efest Olympics??? Eeep! Ace!

Perchance an idea that could get started small scale for 2010 but by 2011 be an event to REALLY pull the crowds in the year before the REAL big event???

The Nimbin Mardi Grass in Oz is a good example for silly Olympics...the Bong Throw and Yell, Fastest Spliff Rolling, Adverse Conditions Rolling, Blindfold Rolling, IronMan...;)

Excellent ;)

Shambala last year apparently had binocular-football where all wear binoculars and indulge in many an inadvertent air-kick. I'm sure they had lots of other silly stuff that I can't recall.

I've personally always wanted to set up an orienteering course round Glasto, for the jaw-dropping of newbies and the reaquaintance of regulars. Finish at Cider Bus of course, & probably have to navigate to 'refreshment' areas on the way. Is orienteering at all scouty? What sports are scouty?

Bloody hell - I say this:

We got invited to join a tunnel party as well at one point when walking through, it would have been a great idea if we weren't striding purposefully through on the way to do something (haven't a clue what it was now...). Definitely tunnel party next year! :D

Bloody hell - I say this:

then am away for a few days and come back on here to all this?? Funny what happens from a minor throwaway comment!!

Hoping this doesn't all actually happen though, as the tunnel is genuinely helpful for avoiding the crowds - with all this sudden madness it's going to be as bad as the railway track!!! :D

And Lucy - careful!! Remember how stressed you were this year from feeling you'd taken on too much? :)

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
