Apparently was the same last time Nick Cave played too. People just sat through the set waiting for the headliner. Do think for that reason would have been more suited to other header

Nick Cave at Leeds, I wish

Imo it should be Nick Cave heading with Mumfords subbing, but only mainland Europe could get that right :P

For me I like to go to a festival to see lots of music rather than having an experience (and even getting drunk) so Glastonbury would be pointless for me since I'm so fat :P

At last count I will be seeing about 18 acts. I have god knows how many 2hr gaps to wander too. I'm a fatty too really, I cope fine!

Same, I want to see and hear music to my taste, and I cant afford all the alcohol to get drunk, so maybe just once im back at the tent then just maybe ill drink

I wish i was going to Glasto, it sounds amazing and I totally get whats its about, but being a glasto virgin and a teenager i would be rushing from act to act :L but it sounds like the perfect all round festival which is why i hope to do it soon (post A level seems like the best time to try for it)

My first time I made that mistake. Done a Clashfinder and crammed a act in every space. Hardly saw any of the other stuff

Who do people think the saturday Arcadia headline will be, I just looked on the glasto website and it says announced at the festival, so thats like the TBA's in the clashfinder

Well I know Skillrex is doing a secret act someone (gully I believe) but I reckon that could be him too

    • 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.
