2013 Headliners

[Gnomicide]

I saw their last ever UK show with Noddy at Liverpool Royal Court. It was nuts. Also one of the loudest bands I've ever seen.

[GlastoSimon]

They are still going in some form but without Noddy which kinda means theyre not the Slade i would be interested in now unfortunately

Isn't Macca headlining Bonnaroo a week or so before Glastonbury?

[beau1]

Honestly hope the lineup isn't good for my own personal tastes. Me and my GF have decided that we can not afford to go and may book a city break on the week of Glasto instead.

What has that got to do with what I'm saying? Whether its glasto or a gig a week or so before, they still needs to rehearse

[incident]

Because a city break will cost you much less than Glastonbury......

......unless of course you go to ANY city ANYWHERE!!

My return flights to Bangkok last year were the same price as a Glastonbury ticket. Festivals are expensive but can be done on the cheap, I'd take a punt & say once you're on site Glastonbury would be one of the cheapest festivals to survive at on pennies.

[fightoffyour]

Not true, at all. Not even close.

Glastonbury is 200 quid, each, in. By the time you add in cost of getting there, any new/replacement camping gear, food, etc, most people will have at least doubled that (and often more).

2 nights in Berlin can cost less than half that including train to the airport, flight, hotel, and food/spending money. I'd imagine there's other cities that can be done as cheaply.

Which airline could fly you return UK to Bangkok for £200?!!

[incident]

But you'd have 6 nights at Glastonbury...

I flew Thai direct

I flew Thai direct from LHR to BKK (+£50 return to USM), got an upgrade too on the outbound flight to business. Service is much better in both classes than Virgin & the food was nicer than most of BA First/VA Upper.

They didn't even mind leaving me with a small bottle of alcohol to save me getting up each time to the galley or calling them. A340 is quiet & modern compared to majority of Boeings too but they are replacing them. No A380 for this route planned.

Sorry off on an airline ramble. Well worth replacement for Glastonbury last year.

[mrtourette]

I think you can quite comfortably find a long weekend city break for two for cheaper than two major festival tickets. Obviously hotel deals and cheap flight destinations have to work out but it can be done. Whether the spending money would work out cheaper I don't know, I imagine you'd want to eat better than a dogburger and greasy chicken noodles every day if you were away on holiday, but you'd probably spend less on booze and fags.

[Bisque]

How far in advance did you book? I'm looking to travel around the far east next year and will use either HKG or BKK for the return flights. (sorry, I'll get back to the headliners in a minute!)

[Bisque]

I guess the Stones could afford some plush holidays whether they get their Glasto pay off or not. This thread is now relevant again!

[fatyeti24]

we should do that then.

come on everyone, lets do a city break together. i'm fed up waiting on the headliners now.

[sisco]

Ha ha, I love how this thread has turned out.

We have no idea or are bored of waiting so we have started a discussion on flights, city breaks, and the rights and wrongs of telling jokes.

[Bisque]

Slow work day? Here's something I found out in my corridor in Khao San Road.

I just did Berlin, flights plus four nights digs was £150pp. It was great but wouldn't swap G for it.
