When will the newspaper be on sale in shops d'ya reckon?

I don't know if it's still the same these days, but you used to be able to pick up first editions in certain central london locations (especially railway stations) from about 9-10pm the night before.

Libertines are big only in a very, very narrow genre and based largely on mystique (not the ladies). They are not big enough to headline Glasto. The reason they are headlining so many festivals is because there are so few original bookings available of the required stature. For now, Libertines will fit that bill as they command curiosity about their back story. But as a band, they certainly are not big enough to headline Glastonbury (that doesn't mean they won't because the headliner problem is affected all festivals). They wouldn't get a huge crowd, and if they did the crowd would dwindle.

A far better way of saying what I said

Chances are if they get it right, the festival will confirm it shortly after right? Much as with the previous lineup leaks... Or am I being too optimistic?

This may be completely clutching at straws and going stir crazy in here buuuut....

The original Tweeter was asked for a clue, and a few minutes later posted "#lauraallensalmonds" which appears to be a completely nonsensical Tweet - can't find any other hashtags or references to that at all. Any chance of a clue in there somewhere, an anagram maybe? Or is the guy just nuts...

Edit: Or am I just nuts? (likely)

Is he suggesting placebo?!? Surely not

No totally misread that.

Ye I'm an idiot

Or have I? Why did he mention placebo?

The Placebo comment was someone else's reply to his original Tweet, which he then retweeted.

My guess is he's a Placebo fan maybe?

    • It would be piss-easy for a bot to manage, though.
    • I've heard that ticket sales for other events that use the same system have included the question 'are you still there?' on each window/browser you have with a place in the queue. If you don't confirm you are, it'll assume you're not and that place will drop.   I've no idea if Glasto/See will adopt this, but it would be challenging to keep on top of with many windows open.
    • People who're struggling are already priced out, so I don't think a bump in price will affect who attends. There'll still be a cross section, leaning young. I also think they'll do a soft breaking of the £400 ceiling, keeping the ticket price just below but having postage take it over. Next year the ticket itself will be over that threshold.

    • Not sure if this has been mentioned but new La Roux album out November - was meant to play in 2020 but hasn't found her way back onto a lineup. If any excuse just to hear this absolute banger on the fields next year!
