There is a rule, at least here in Iceland, if you spot a April fools day joke, you don't say anything to inform others and ruin the joke ;)

Damn...sorry :( 

Edit: you're in the storm eye Gossard...-rep for saying that :(

-rep for you because I don't agree that you should give me -rep ;) 

It wasn't me dear Gossard...I've remarked the fact someone downvote you without a reason. :) 

 

Edit: everytime you receive a -rep I give you a + because I'm feeling like the Robin Hood of forum good reputation :):)

Damn, I got excited. I couldn't get tickets for Temple of the Dog in Phlily. :crying:

So far I prefer RW lineup than Glasto. There are some bands like Biffy that I'll be seeing in small clubs here in the US. Sad that they are discarded from the lineup.

Guess It's a matter of taste, but I'd take AF or Soad over Ed Sheeran/Katy Perry anytime.

Hey guys,

I have a practical travel question. I'm coming from Canada for the festival and the last time I went was in 2009, so I'm having trouble remembering how I actually got out of the grounds last time and on to my next destination.

On the day after the festival ends, July 3, I'm going to London. I want to buy a train ticket from Brussels to London that leaves at 10:56 AM, so I'd want to get to Brussels at like 9:30 to be safe. Is it realistic to think I'll get to Brussels by that time? I thought I'd take the festival bus to Leuven station at like 8 AM (assuming they're running) and then take the train from Leuven to Brussels, but is it usually a total shit-show getting out of the festival grounds on the morning after it ends? I just want to make sure I'm actually likely to arrive in Brussels by 9:30 before I book this pretty expensive train ticket to London for 10:56 AM.

Thanks :)

If you want to be at Brussels at 09:30, dont wait for the festival shuttle at 8 as there will probably be a big queue by then. Keep in mind that the shuttle ride, the wait for the train and the train ride itself will consume ~ one hour. I didnt camp a few years now though,  and it seems that there are less camping areas then before so things might have change.

I think you'll really struggle. I can't rememer how long it is before the train departs but last time I took the Eurostar I had to be there early to "check in", a bit like for a flight.

Because you won't necessarily be able to get on the first shuttle either, I wouldn't be booking a train that early myself. I'd be looking at 2pm onwards to take the stress out of it. If you get to Brussels early you can just chill out have some "real" food after 5 days of festival food!

      I’d expect U2 & Muse to be options too.

      I see there's yet another article doing the rounds about Madonna doing BST, and not Glastonbury.   That could be right, but given there'll be plenty of tickets to shift for BST, could it not just be false info doing the rounds to protect that?? Not that I think Madonna would struggle to shift tickets, or that Glastonbury would have that much impact, but still - would probably still make sense to protect ticket sales when it's announced?

      Given BST recently I wouldn't expect it as rock heavy as that. I kinda am expecting it'd be where The Cure play though as I'm expecting a second year touring of them

      Id suggest they would need another new album before they play again - Otherwise the show is going to probably be very similar to the one they played at the last festival.

      Absolutely not, I dont know of it selling out but they needed TFG and Skyvip to shift them. Biffy aren't either and they didn't go to TFG and I wouldn't say Kasabian are either and they sold it out the quickest. Liam Gallagher did Finsbury Park as well and subbed the Pyramid Stage, Noah Kahan did two nights at BST and subbed the Pyramid though that's a rare one. Finsbury itself will definitely not grant you top spot, that field can hold 100k      That's fair. I'm definitely in the camp myself that Fender and Harry are most likely.
