Do you mean supporting them? Is that Megadog gig the weekend before then?

Im on before. No, its a small club night in manchester. Psytrance and Techno.

I have heard that there are gigs at glastonbury really late in the day on small stages if you speak to someone in the know. Im going to have a word and see if Merv knows who I can speak to.

Could have been Taylor Swift Sunday but she has cancelled due to her mum being ill.

Could be Madonna getting cold feet after album not doing as well and tour not selling as well as expected.

Could be purple one being a dick.

Who knows what has caused this but if they have it sorted or very nearly sorted now then we should get something soon, hopefully Wednesday.

Do you think it will be stage split or just names all over the shop?

Indeed there are a lot of small stages up the Common, Block 9, Shangri La areas that have DJS and stuff playing psytrance all night long. Parties around every corner. Its the main reason I still love the festival. Good luck!

He's been on the sauce

:lol:

What happened to Taylor Swift?

Everyone got over their 13 year teenage girl phase I think :P

Possible Wednesday Announcement = Good

Hot Chip on WH = Good, on Friday = Crap

George Clinton providing the first option against Kanye = Fantastic

A mixed bag there Neil! A real mixed bag!

I am hoping The Who has more to it, than just Scottie being on the sauce :D

Why is everyone saying Blur have been asked and doing a favour? If they had problems with the Sunday headliner and needed to turn to someone else then why not Flo given all that Emily has said about her, about bumping up and about more females? Not saying I think it is her, just that don't think it would be Blur, I have been known to be wrong however!

Why would they delay announcing the last headliner if it was Flo?

Precisely. Perhaps Neil's extra info will tidy things up tomorrow, but this whole debacle screams an existing "exclusive" headliner with another festival being allowed to save the day.

Expects blur.

Prays for The Mac.

because it'd be a weak headliner, so they may as well get everybody as excited as possible with as much line-up-goodness as they can before sneaking Flo in close to the festival, and hoping people won't mind too much.

i'm caling it 'The Metallica Maneuver'

Prince - Still holding out, my no. 1 hope.

Blur - Was excited about the prospect when they first announced their reunion, considerably less bothered now.

Fletwood Mac - Worst of the options for me, don't like their music and think it'd be bad considering Mick told fans to give back their tickets cause they wouldn't be there.

    • 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.
