I have just signed up to Twitter so that I can follow Glastonbury related stuff.

@TheGlastoThingy is the first account I've followed.  I feel a bit dirty to be honest, nothing against it, I've just managed happily without it so far, FB is enough social media for me.

I'm obviously just desperate for the next announcement.

 

You couldn't have picked a better place to start  

What's your Twitter name, I'll have a word with The Thingy and see if it'll follow you back.

The times are pretty accurate, but the bands certainly aren't 

Do the other stage headliners only get 75 mins?

although Chemical Brothers got an hour and a half last year and i'm sure there have been other instances of this as well so you may be lucky on the NO front

I mean in general mate. Have seen No enough times to not bother about 15 minutes less. Just seems a bit strange that a few of the other stages get longer.

That's par for the headliner course ignoring Pyramid

some West Holts acts get longer (both Hot Chip and The Mothership got the full hour and a half last year) but apart from that yeah, it's usually the case for most stages

Glastonbury regulars Thrill Collins to announce their festivals on Monday, fingers crossed this is when the the rest of Glastonbury's line up is announced! 

BTW if you've never seen Thrill Collins, they're ace! Go

Thank you but I'm not sure if I'm actually going to be doing any tweeting myself ☺️

Now TheThingy Twitter account is reaching followers of almost Stephen Fry like proportions, it's stopped automatically following everyone back as it's getting hard to keep up. Erm... apparently.

The policy now is to follow people whose names it recognises from here, or anyone with a Glastonbury picture in their profile. Or so I'm told.

So if it doesn't follow you back, give me a shout and I'll let TheThingy know.

Congratulations to The Thingy... wherever the celestial forces which guide it may be.

You're like Clark Kent saying Superman is 'a friend'.

Not the awful brooding nasty modern Superman. The good one, who had the Superman music and didn't stalk his son's mother with his x-ray vision.

I'm growing concerned that the Thingy is becoming sentient. It could decide that the best Glastonbury would be one without human beings in it.

What have we done?

We should make it take the Turing test

Don't know why but have have a feeling we may hear something today. Or not.  Hoping is the former though.

That's the positivity I'm talking about

At least 5 people wished me god morning from the gate at work to my desk. The sun is shining, people are in a good mood. Exactly the sort of day to be excited by a big announcement.
