Last years surprise line up was fantastic but it's a lot to ask for every year unless the bands cannot play the festival "proper" for some reason. I think it would be great if some bands played twice, Thursday night and again over the weekend, like Allo Darlin last year. That said hoping for Darren Hayman and British Sea Power.

I will let you into a secret, Ben onced graced the stage in a heavy metal band, complete with a leather jacket and long swinging hair.....

Actually I just realised that if I replied to all the other posts those bloody "tickets wanted" posts would go to page 2

I don't understand why wyou would NOT want some entertainment to be laid on on Thursday night...unless you weren't getting there until Friday. It's like saying I hope there's nothing going on at Glastonbury until the Friday.

For my part I'm hoping there's some nice, quiet, reflective artist on in the Tipi on Thursday night, so we can get told off for talking at the back again.

Cos it takes hours to erect the Mansion, sorry tent... and actually I would quite like to catch up with all the lovely people...

I hope there's nothing going on at Glastonbury till 2012, am sick to death of hearing about it!

Yes Thanks Matt for pointing out another of my errors!

Well it is listed as a 3 day festival, and I am grateful that by opening on the Thursday night I can avoid an early morning dash around the M25 or having to pay for accomodation in Salisbury. I think it would be rude to expect Simon & Sofia to lay on entertainment for us as well.

Having said that the cynic in me realises that by opening on the thursday night to campers it dissipates the extra traffic that another 3,500 people will cause arriving to the site on a friday morning!

Yeah, Junip self-confirmed and we think The Cornshed Sisters and Among Brothers will also be playing the Thursday.

British Sea Power sounds like a good shout as it looks like they're playing a festival about 2 miles away from my house on the Saturday of EOTR (since when has Ecchinswell of all places had a festival?!). So yeah, fingers crossed!

      Sziget 2026

      By kristofm · Posted

      Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.

      If the campervan field residents aren’t allowed to cut through orchid they’ve got a brutal walk on their hands.   otherwise not too many surprises

      This. I always read in awe the hatred toward the festival and Gerendai.  I see no chance of it being cancelled, except if something worse happens, like the whole electric grid collapses or something. But that’s not really a case. Worst case scenario is that the whole thing will be ran by diesel generators for the sake of the environment.

      they are shutting down the nuclear power plant until Friday ; sziget starts 3 days later plus, they said they will have to import energy.    So I see no point in cancelling an event that will make them lose money
