I wonder how we could suggest to the Festival that maybe the New Talent comp should start off as a vote type thing?

Could put tracks up online, and have a proper online Talent Comp.

G Factor style....

I dunno, I do quite like the fact that the Glasto comp is based on talent rather than popularity - gives people who are really good but haven't found a big audience yet a chance, unlike the awful 'road to V' nonsense or similar. Of course, if it was just up to the eFests boarders than I think we'd stand a chance :P

Oh and I think one of the final 'play-off' spots is down to a public vote this year so the nation shall have their say.

Indeed it does folks - we got our application in on New Year's Eve as apparently there's another slot up for grabs for 'early bird entries' (at Queen's Head I think) before Dec 31st.

Here is our entry if you lot fancy a gander - it was pretty difficult deciding which 2 tracks to put forward, hope you think we made good choices...

My uni folk-pop band entered but I'm not sure I fancy our chances; our recordings are pretty rough around the edges as none of us really know how to mix them. :P

Thought it was worth a shot anyways.

Can give us a listen here if anyone's interested: http://www.myspace.com/tabloidvivant

The myspace is a bit tatty too - we only made it so we could enter.

Good luck to any of you who entered! xx

I love listening to new music , it does indeed get the old blood flowing and have been listening to the final 12 in the ETC and i have a few faves that must play at Glasto. Check out their Myspace sites. I wish i lived near Pilton so i could get to see these bands play in the finals at the Pilton mens working club.

They are :

Mayhew ( hoping they will win! )

Lets buy Happiness

Family Machine

Ellen and the Escapades

Good luck to you guys, i guess we might even catch some of you in the BBC introduction or Q tents this year.

    • 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. 🙂
