You don't know him? Really? He's on here all the time. He's like you, actually but cool. He's kind of like Ace to your Arnold. Smoke him a kipper. Whadda guy ... :P

Phew. Nice post. I was worried I was on the going to be on the end of an old carp features vendetta :P

What nick does he does wonderfully well. I think there is an element of "jack of all trades, master of none" about bob dylan.

Although I do have to take exception to this "Jack of All Trades" rubbish. He completely and utterly owned the protest song in every way. You only have to look at Masters of War to see that. He also nailed surrealism and imagery in his lyrics to see that - and you only have to look at Desolation Row to see that. He nailed personal feeling to such an extent that it made Lennon and McCartney wet themselves - you only have to look at th words of Like a Rolling Stones to see that. And if you can think of a better crafted country song than Lay Lady Lay, you are a better man than I.

I love Dylan. He is one of my favourite artists. I saw him at the Roundhouse last year and thought he was amazing. BUT I'm not convinced that he would go down well at Glasto. The fact he will not be playing his songs in the manner and with the tune that people are expecting isn't going to go down too well with a crowd looking for a greatest hits singalong.

Seen Bob 3 times, Love and theft tour 2002 was without doubt the best, he still played the hits in a relatively familiar way and the setlist was floorless, i won't bore you with the details, lets just say he opened with maggies farm, and the last 2 where forever young and like a rolling stone.

However, the second time, still great, not so spellbinding a set though

Then again a few months ago on the latest tour, i was front row, so i was just in shock to be so close to a man who i proclaim to be the god of music, and everything in it. However, i can see how some people [possibly idiots?] may not like him [or understand] the angle which he's coming from.

Personally I think he'll be below u2 on friday, he won't headline, but he'll be the second from the top on the card, if he plays that is.

I would love to see him again, you should all be lucky to be in the presense of dylan, ... however i can't see a glasto dizzee rascal 2009 crowd reacting the same way to things have changed as they do to bonkerrrrs

jesus :P

There's no mention of Glasto on boblinks.com.

6/11/10 Prague, Czech Republic

6/12/10 Linz, Austria

6/13/10 Ljubljana, Slovenia

7/10/10 Venice, Italy - St. Mark's Square (unconfirmed) details

And the thing you posted had Glastonbury in upper case. How strange.

edit : what t0paz said.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
