Headliners 2015

[GlastoSimon]

Surely all it would take to convert all the returned GA tickets to coach+admission tickets would be to lay on extra coaches?

Yeah that just went through my head Spose its not a huge number, but a bit of an operation if they want to put on an extra 10k people in coaches

I prefer coach anyway - though NE over See coaches.

I'm speculating, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're increasing the number of coachers year-on-year, with the aim of getting an increase in the number of tickets they can sell once the traffic issues are less problematic because of the numbers coming by coach.

Not a bad bit of speculating, would definitely be in GFL's interests on both an environmental and logistical level.

Noel Gallagher has already said he's playing elsewhere for more money on the Sunday isn't he?

Not currently booked on the Sunday. Switzerland Friday, Belgium Saturday, free Sunday.

Didn't emily or Michael say they wanted more people to take the coach? Would be a way of supposedly 'enforcing' it

I heard it's going to be Sonia.

(I guess the youngsters might have to google that one, tho they'll wish they hadn't ).

Well, better the devil you know I suppose

Quite.

Regardless of whether it was actually the case, if they could make it look like the only tickets that have been returned were coach tickets, that'd be a hell of a middle-finger-salute to those who predicted that Kanye's booking wokld bring about the festival's demise, given the perception that there aren't many coach tickets...

I wonder if the Eavis' would be on board if we pitched them an experimental art project in which every single post in this thread is printed onto an individual piece of large confetti, and then it's all fired out of cannons situated on the Pyramid as the third headliner makes his/her/their way onto the stage.

Edit: if you've picked up the piece of confetti with this post on, congratulations! You've won Glastonbury. Please report to V Festival 2016 for your reward.

"Please welcome, Florence and the Machine!!"

...and tens of thousands of bits of confetti are simultaneously fired out of a cannon, and they all say 'OH FOR FUCKS SAKE', 'FUCKING FLORENCE?!' etc. etc.

Then come back after the festival and show which ones you've picked up!

Just heard from a friend of a friend whos friend once lived in Glastonbury (even tho thats irrelevant) that their friend says the 3rd headliner is a hologram of Michael Jackson. Not only that but 2 Pacs hologram is going to join him too.

Beyond hilarious.

Can you imagine everyone leaping up to try and grab a piece?

"What did you get?"

"Russy saying the festival isn't as good as it used to be! You?"

"Matt42 stretching the definition of the word 'officially' past breaking point!"

Post of the week

[tomfestival_11]

A speculative effort- Noel Gallagher was booked as the 3rd headliner but now the brothers are talking again they are trying to work out an oasis reunion instead! I'm not just a pretty face I can assure you that.

[TheSilence]

Imagine the bewildered look on the poor fella, who after scrambling for a piece of confetti, looks down to see this:

The fact that people get angry about a black man performing a hip hop song with a big group of other black artists just proves that a lot of people still don't see black artists as real artists

And if you say "it's becuase their music is shit" then you don't see hip hop or rap as real music.

[mr gumby]

if so im out unfortunately. Wouldnt be able to convince the girlfriend to do it that way...

Surely this post must be the frontrunner for 'Innuendo of the week'!

[ericlered]

Why ya'll gotta be bell-ends to the newbs??

Half of them seem to be the same person.

#teamswift might be having a good day coming up. Get the champers on ice.

I like the sound of this, Festival Liam. I'm willing to put aside all cynicism and believe that Michael Eavis has personally promised you a Sunday night on the Pyramid where Taylor headlines and Patti Smith subs.

[justperfect]

I'm hoping my peice of confetti contains a fake betting slip which I'd obviously try to cash in

I forget who's legitimately 'in the loop' around here. Is this comment worth paying any attention to?

(Please say yes).
