Hi All, Now I know this won't make up for the fact you're still trying for glasto tickets but I have 2 weekend tickets for the Sound City festival in Liverpool this weekend (won them but can't go

I have just realised someone gave me 2 downvotes too in this thread yesterday, just for asking politely for a link? Made me a bit sad tbh as I'm new here and now my rep is horrible

Repeat after me: I will get tickets. Now say it a little louder: I will get tickets. Good, now emphasise the 'WILL': I WILL get tickets That's a bit better, but you're no

I really hope it's today. I honestly don't think I could cope with another day of this; the stress and anxiety is just too much! 

I think for me it's more boredom, with bouts of high anxiety. I can only stare at a page and refresh for so long. Must...be...strong...

@Breeze - Erm... first one I did, so would have been 2004? We were newbies and didn't understand so came thursday, there was a fire nearby and they shut all the roads around Glastonbury, stationary about 2 miles away for 6 hours! 

Then had to find a camping spot, in the dark, whilst it poured with rain... We were tempted to go home... Glad we didn't. This is the first year I've had to try the secret resale since, always been lucky

Ugh! I arrived Weds AM that year so missed that excitement I guess - was a nightmare setting up camp in insane winds that day I recall. That was the year of the river in Pennards (and lake at the bottom, canoes and all) if I remember rightly.

I'm sure Glasto will know it'll take place, but my take is that it's left to See to do, in whatever way way they think is best.

Ok thanks, that sounds the most reasonable method. I'll mentally blame See then for the torture

The headliners are for 3 completely demographics so I'm not surprised that they are struggling for weekend sales. Apparently they've cut back a load of the extra stuff so it's going to be little more than 2 stages this year. I think it might be 'doing a bestival'

What is doing a Bestival by the way? I know it moved to the mainland and the last time I went it was full of kids but didn't know they cut things (other than the spoken word area)

was that the fire beyond/around east campervans (was it a pile of tyres?), i remember seeing huge plumes of thick black smoke - possibly in 2005?

It was 2008, a nearby scrapyard caught fire. We were camped in Dragon, our final camping year!

2005 was the lake year, however I do remember the winds in 2004 when putting up tents, absolute nightmare!

All the stages were tiny/underproduced. I've heard a good time was had by all but one could see that they had made some huge cuts to reduce losses (I didn't go and was never planning to, this is hearsay)

Indeed it was. We were diving down in it! Seemed like a good idea at the time! Or maybe 2005?

Long time lurker here - seem to resurface around this time every year when the excitement gets too much for me!! Just want to say I love this thread, it embodies the spirit of Glasto - good luck everyone trying for secret resale tickets, I was lucky enough to get them in 2013 and I swear if I had won the lottery I wouldn't be as happy as I was that day! I am trying for friends who unfortunately missed out in the main sale and the resale - lets hope the Glasto gods are shining down on all of us! :)

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.

      Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.

      Top Ten ‘Must See’ Acts

      Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
