Oooooo, exxxxcellent stuff, nice one mate, looks bl**dy brilliant :D Funny you should have a 'logo' looking kinda just like that mind you as I also seem to have an amazingly similar one doodled on the top sheet of the cr@p various on my desk from the other day after reading that someone had suggested GlastOlypics ! Hardly surprising mind you as it's definitely exactly the right thing for the job isn't it :lol:

Just one very important question tho: Do you have the necessary authority to use and display the WaterAid logo and have you used it EXACTLY as they specify that it must be used and in a manner that is 100% acceptable to them ? Yeah, I know that all probably sounds kinda weird but believe me, they're *VERY* sensitive about their bl**dy logo regardless of good intentions when using it. There is in fact a many page document specifying exactly what you can and cannot do when making any reference to WaterAid along with specific image templates that you MUST use etc. You basically need to get approval from the WaterAid peeps and everything will pretty much need to conform 100% to the published specification in order to avoid potential tears along the way and all that. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt etc. :rolleyes:

Mucho good luck with everything and sorry I won't be there :(

... wanders off to find a micrometer to measure the shape and size of the water droplet whistling.gif [##]

[##] A kinda 'private' joke that's really only in any way amusing to the few who understand it but fear not, the rest of you defo aren't missing anything remotely important or in any way interesting !

Brilliant Phil. Will be excellent event. We'll be there chilling and enjoying this year. But as we've said many times any advice help etc just ask. We had each other your doing it yourself so much Kudos for that dude. As I've said try your damndest to enjoy it. It will grate you sometimes but there is plenty folks too help and encourage you. I guarantee by 10 pm on the thursday you'll be sound asleep in bed. If not I'll see you in one of the dance tents.

Brilliant mate well done.

Oh and Stab cracking design as always mate :D

I for one am against this as I would have much more prefered the football match, as it gave the fans more of a chance to get involved!

For the last 2 years I have been part of the crazy set of fans that would bundle the goalie/the referee/ and even hold aloft the one we called JESUS in true Bobby Moore fashon!! We would come up with the most crazy chants, sneak into the end of match photograph....and last year even involved a 20 minute heckling of OTIS FROM NEWSROUND!! It was so brilliant, maybe the best moment of my life - now its gone :(

This is excellent, great work Phil. I'll be there. Not, for the love of god, actually doing anything energetic but merely drinking heavily and being an annoying c**t. It's what I do best.

Brilliant brilliant idea, and good luck with it all.

    • 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. 🙂
