For those who feel the need to mark out their own area

Surely only to be used for emergency tent repairs and securing beer to trolley?

Here is an alternative for the hipsters :)

One of my claims to fame is that Elizabeth Taylor made me a cup of tea,  I was working as a journalist covering South Wales for national newspapers when Richard Burton died.  By this time he had divorced Elizabeth Taylor and had married Suzy Hunt and was living in Switzerland, where he was buried.

However a memorial service was held near his home town of Port Talbot and Elizabeth Taylor, who was still a close part of the extended Burton (Jenkins) family, came over.

Along with all the journos I went to the memorial service.  Afterwards all the women went back to the family house to prepare the ham sandwiches.  The men (and the journos) opted to go to the pub.

In the pub Richard's brother Graham got absolutely legless.  So when it came to getting him home another reporter and I pretty well carried him, with his arms draped over our shoulders, the mile back to the house.

We knocked on the door, it was opened and we carried him in and plonked him on a sofa.  Liz Taylor was standing there with rubber gloves on doing the washing up.  She turned to me and smiled and said: "Seeing as you've kindly carried him home, the least I can do is make you a cup of tea."

So I sat down next to Graham while Liz Taylor made and brought me a cup of tea.

The things that get hidden away in the countdown thread. This is nearly as good as Pear's Bullseye revelation.

    • I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either   
    • Selfish, but I've done the 2 days I'm there.. i'll try to do the rest through the day but might get beaten to it as it's editable....    https://clashfinder.com/s/ape2026/
    • I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
    • And all (or all but one) of the secret sets repeats though?
