Whilst this is indescribably exciting, it comes with a slight qualification for me. I've never seen them, despite loving them for years - just never happened. So, I'd love my first Radiohead set to be at Glastonbury. But, assuming they tour pre-Glastonbury, I'll defo go to see them, as my 14 year old Radiohead obsessed youngest is desperate to see them, and I'd want to take him.

Then again, I get to see them at GF and with my boy. So it's win-win. Stop whining, man.

I've come close to seeing them at Glastonbury several times. Firstly, I decided to see Primal Scream instead in 1997, a decision I regretted as soon as I got back to camp and saw the faces of everyone who saw them.

Next, I had just started a new job in 2003 and my boss wanted to make a stupid point about the 'responsibilities of my role' by not letting me have Glastonbury off because of 'month end processes'. This was despite the guy who trained me being very happy to cover and the request going in months earlier. Never forgiven. Radiohead played.

Next, I decided to set a date for my wedding in June, since I knew it was a fallow year. Michael went and moved it. Radiohead played.

I'd never seen them live, so went to see them on the KOL tour, and could only get seated. Tried to swap with a mate with standing who wanted to sit, but despite talking to a series of jobsworths, no cigar.

They were still good sat down, but what I really want is to see them properly - on the Pyramid at Worthy Farm. Will this be the year, or will I miss them again? I'm almost frightened to hope, I've been wanting to see them in an unconstrained environment for so many years now.

Fingers crossed.

EDIT: there's also a story about the Thom and Jonny set at The Park, but it's not for sharing on a public forum ;)

Be lovely to see Radiohead at Glastonbury again. Just realised that I have only ever seen them at festivals so think I might see them on the tour in a building. I bet they are fantastic in one of them.

There'll be a lot of IT consultants waking up in wet beds tomorrow morning.

 

I liked them when I saw them headline Leeds. Not listened to them on record ever, but I could be tempted to go along.

I'll probably be waking up with a wet bed tomorrow, but I'm a student not an IT consultant.

 

i think I'm tempted to say GETOFFAMYLAWN to you with that remark in the second paragraph, but I'll give you the chance to listen to them first.

    • 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!
    • Yeh, the quiet camping also seems to be on the same side (broadly) as the bits of the festival that go on the latest (Far Out / Chai Waalahs / RTT until 4am). We're always in Tangerine Fields which is right behind the main stage and as soon as that and Rising Stage are done it's pretty quiet (midnight onwards) which I'd guess is pretty similar if you can hack taking all your gear from the car past the big tree in the middle and into the campsites that side.
