There's plenty of time between 2nd to last and headliner so I'm sure it will be possible to miss Robbie and get a good spot for Stevie. Then again we never get too far in, just like a spot where the sound is good, can see a screen and we have a bit of space. Went to see Capdown at the Leftfield while BEP were playing then got in a good spot for Macca. Perfect.

I have a horrible feeling that this rumour will be true which will be very disappointing as I was seriously thinking of going to see Stevie, had been listening to his back catalogue, the guy is an undisputed musical genius.

However as has been said before, I will have to be as far away from the pyramid as possible when that short-arsed cock is on stage, and on the Sunday night it would be a real trauma to get back to the pyramid between the last two sets, never mind I just hope for decent entertainment elsewhere, sorry Stevie.

i know what your saying, but i really didnt want to have to 'work' on sunday - i wanted a lazy sunday topped off with Stevie.

and to be fair to BEP (which is VERY difficult) at least they write their own drivel!!

Let me get this straight - you're going to miss Stevie Wonder because you hate Robbie Williams? Makes perfect sense.

:P

That's really quite sad. Sorry, but it is.

Comparing an artist you hate to an artist someone else hates is a pointless excercise. Because I could just say 'Kasabian' and win the argument. In my eyes, of course. :P:P

PLENTY of things around at that time of night that you could do before catching Stevie. Get drunk at the Cider Bus. Go for a dump. Catch an act you've never heard of at a random stage.

Maybe the earlier part of the day will have acts close together on the bill you can 'laze around' whilst enjoying?

Before Sir Paul came on stage, I was enjoying the delights of The Rutles at the Acoustic Tent with a pint of Butcolme Gold in my hand (courtesy of the Red Flag).

you are of course right (except on kasabian- they fookin rock)

i have revised my issues, i will simply be at the JP while williams is 'singing' songs he didnt write, the walk from the JP to the pyramid isnt to bad at all. miss the bus and the redfalg but thats a sacrifice worth making to avoid williams

Or you could go to the Acoustic Stage, get some ale down you and walk through the market places to the cider bus, one quick pint as RW comes off stage before taking your place for Sir Stevie?

Or you could go to the Jazzworld area, get some Brothers down you and walk through the market places to the cider bus, one quick pint as RW comes off stage before taking your place for Sir Stevie?

Mate - the place is vast. But it's not so big that you have to sample an act you hate in order to see one you love. And that's the operative word Tugs - LOVE. Do things you love to set you up for Stevie. Which you'll love. You'll probably even love me during this time, because you'll be so full of love.

That's if he plays - everyone's getting their kecks in a twist and all you've got to go on so far is some random (soz OP, no offence meant :P ) saying he told them so.

Me? I'd love it, I want a big huge happy singalong a Sunday night, Robbie would get the crowd jumping ready for Stevie and it has the makings of a classic sing til your sick evening :P

dont take it too seriously mate

i am simply venting on here because in about 2 hours when i go for lunch with the OH she is going to lay down the law.

and that, will be the end of that :P

so all my venting here is simply a device to avoid a massive fight in the middle of costa coffee!! :P

Sorry but I'll be delighted if this is true.

In 98 we only went to see him get bottled off because we thought he was a moron, but he wasn't (bottled off that is - actually probably still a bit of a moron) and it still, against all odds, turned out to be one of my most brilliant Glastonbury memories.

I think it'd be a good singalong warm up for Stevie Wonder.

Actuually - not being in the pyramid field for the act before, allows you to be far more strategic in taking up your position for the next act, so the Robbie hating Stevie lovers needn't worry either!

    • 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.
