He said no on FBk yesterday when asked after putting his Summer dates up.

Nobody replied to his calls apparently :(

 

edit - Beaten to it by Stuwilky!

He'll have to write something similar to Bean on Toast's Glastonbury no-show song...

A bit meh for me tbh after last year, but still a number of performances I'll go to there at both the Cafe and the Stage. No Dreadzone! Where are they playing this year......

 

Funny isn't it - at this time of year when the line ups come out I always say "I'll go to this; I'll go to that". But when I'm finally there its clash city and its more like "I'll have to sacrifice this; I'll have to sack off that". Coupled with the disorganisation that alcohol brings, I'll be lucky to get in 20-22 performances across the whole site for the weekend.

That would be hugely optimistic for me! 12-15 tops.

I am lucky if I get 10 acts in over the weekend,

This is a good line up for me. Decided not to worry about clashes until the stage times for all venues are out. Just doing my harsh rating system of 1-5 and then hoping to see as many 5's as possible. 

At 1st glance there's no 5's at Avalon but some very high 4's.

I know very little on there, but after finding the Destroyers on youtube - they look like an act I will definitely try to catch.

What I like about the Avalon is there is generally nothing / very little I know, but I see something worth catching out of the blue.

Shame she'll probably be a headliner as id love to see Corinne Bailey Rae. Not much else for me there, although Will Young would be great...

I selfishly hope she isn't headlining to be honest, it's looking like clashes are already starting to pile up. One of my best memories of 2010 was seeing her on the pyramid in the afternoon sun. She just looked like she was having the best time. She also turned up at Croissant Neuf that year too so there is maybe a possibility of a repeat?

All in all, I'm pretty happy with that line up.:)

Shaun.

Between here and acoustic is where I seem to spend most of my time.

Not going this year but if I was then I would look to see

Beans on Toast

Hobo's

Destroyers

Show of Hands

Definites would be Edward II and Drystones (two lovely lads and great musicians)

Going to Bearded Theory so a lot of these will be there,

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
