To ask the obvious question - how does one get tickets? Is it online or via a phone number?

I'd be up for it, but am less up for "I've got the phone number cos my uncle lives there ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) "-type messing about

Pretty sure can pay by phone but they don't post out and you have to collect tickets in advance in person from festival office in glastonbury town. Guess its one way they can try and ensure local have best opportunity of securing.

Not sure where the Pilton Party Box Office is (is it kept deliberately secret) but that looks to me as if you can just collect it on your way down.

You don't need to be 'too' local. I live near Yeovil and I can get tickets.

If it is Ellie Goulding this year I'll probably give it a miss this year. The vibe is a lot different to the festival I find. Feels much more of a pimms and picnic sort of crowd. :P

Pretty sure it includes Frome-ies......as long as you can get to Worthy Farm to collect the ticket beforehand...

I think 'local' is classed as the usual Sunday ticket zone. It's advertised in our local paper and we're about 15 miles from pilton

Not sure if I'd call it a Pimms ans picnic type of do. It is certainly nothing like the festival though. Pretty much a stage in a field with a few burger vans.

Agreed its nothing like the festival. However as a one night live music party its pretty good!

I might have to try and pretend to be a local if true!!! :P (Hopefully also means they will be back in some sort of headline slot somewhere next year! Rather than the Pyramid!)

I reckon they might be in the running for a Pyramid headlining slot. They're one of not many candidates amongst newer bands, and a newer band has to be given a shot sooner or later.

I know people have said they are getting there, and I think they would pull it off but I've never really believed it :P

It'd be great to see Glastonbury giving smaller bands a chance to headline based more around Emily/Micheal thinking they could work again. (Even stuff I don't like I wouldn't mind seeing them given the chance tbh.)

I guess its giving smaller acts a chance or you start get into the rut of repeating headliners again at the moment.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
