I suppose it's not very specific so it doesn't give away that much. Somewhere on site over what could be a 10 hour period doesn't give too much away.

I nearly wrote criteria, until realised there was only one. Still, that sentence is fairly unsatisfying, I'm sure there's a much better way of saying it.

What I thought man, luckily coming from that area too if it like that I should be clear of it when I leave the top of Park up and behind Stonebridge anyway. Decided against Roadmender...no one else will go ad when it comes to it I won't be arsed to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think time wise you should be fine, only potential problem is not getting a great spot if Williams Green is busy. I've no idea how popular DMAs are though and whether that's likely?

There is a bit of a gotcha with the phone number format though. Let's say your phone number is 077 7777 7777, the international version would normally be +4477 7777 7777. Well, not with IFTTT, for them you must enter 0044077 7777 7777, so replace the "+" with "00" and include the leading zero after the "44". I've just set a recipe up, can someone give it a go and let me know if: There are any problems It shows my phone number (I don't think it will, but it wasn't 100% clear) https://ifttt.com/recipes/425731-sms-secretglasto-tweets IFTTT stopped sending text messages a month ago unless you opted in. Now using in app push notifications instead (can't find anything on their website but they did email out). So you might want to do a test with IFTTT before going to Glastonbury. https://www.reddit.com/r/ifttt/comments/4hxew6/psa_if_youre_still_receiving_sms_alerts_check/ Edited June 4, 2016 by Dukeicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just done that. Looks exactly what you would want from a Twitter feed of surprise guests. Hope it works as well this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't think it'd be packed, their new annouced tour is smallish with the Ritz in Manc being the biggest venue probably on the whole thing. O2 Academy and Electric Brixton certainly aren't big, glad they are working their way up though. I turned up about 2 mins before TOY started last year on Friday, it was dead and it was shit lol.

FrankieX Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 People should be careful testing the IFTTT recipe by linking it to a more active twitter account. If I remember correctly, some people last year discovered that there was a limit of free texts it would send in a month. Maybe 100? Best to make sure you still have plenty remaining for the actual festival! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august1 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 We'll probably look to do 2-3 test tweets. 1 a week out then Mon/Tues of the fest. So plenty of time to set it up and tweak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

across97 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 All linked up, should hopefully get SMS notifications.

J1990 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Is it the Rabbit Hole I'm thinking of that announces their lineup on the day on twitter? If so, could somebody link me the twitter account please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rabbit Hole have already published its line up for the main tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Andy Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hi, am I right in saying it is not possible for me to get text updates? My only phone is on EE, and its also an Iphone 4s which is ios7 which I believe is too old to get the Twitter app which requires ios8.

incident Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I don't know if this still works, but try sending a text to 86444 with: follow SecretGlasto as the content. I know it should still work on Three, and used to work on EE but the service might have been stopped. You'll get charged 10p per text received though.
