Dreamt about glastonbury last night, waiting for RH at the pyramid :D

That sounds like more of a nightmare, though it depends if by RH you mean Radiohead or Rolf Harris.  Actually both are probably nightmares.

Counting down the days to Glastonbury? Who does that? Even for die-hard fans, this seems unlikely.

Clearly, this thread is just a PR stunt. But what for? Balloons? Ice cream? Rolling papers? Windows98??

What SomersetLive has discovered is obviously just the tip of the iceberg!

No Marcoolio not a PR stunt, just an bit of harmless fun that has been running for a few years now.  Certainly, as far as I'm concerned it's nothing to do with selling tents, or anything else.  This year I don't even have a ticket, though I'm still hoping for the re-sales.  I don't work for any firm that sells anything.  I'm trying to retire but I keep being asked to run more training courses, mainly for a firm that makes and sells cakes. Even then I'm not paid by the cake firm.  I'm paid by a trade union learning fund. And I don't have a tent, I've got a caravan.

If I have to explain it, it clearly wasn't funny.

Nice one Marcoolio.  Do join the thread. Sorry if I misunderstood your irony.

What part of Holland do you live in?  I have an old girlfriend (now just an old friend) who used to live on The Singel in Amsterdam and now lives in Delft.

Cheers. I used to live in Rotterdam, now I live about 50km east of Amsterdam.

    • Addison Rae has 33m instagram followers, Slayyyter 667k. Also 15 to 7,5 million spotify listeners with Addison's last release being more than a year ago. Obviously these metrics aren't everything, but still there is a big gap in popularity between the two.
    • Seems like the most obvious choice. Surprised they havent played since 2019 either.
    • My review of All Together Now 26, it was a whopper. https://niallmcquaid.wordpress.com/2026/08/06/all-together-now-2026-festival-review/
    • Yep it was on my list, id have loved to have gone. 
    • Am a relative amateur in the ticket/tech shenanigans and not part of a large group etc. but personally preferred the F5 bashing approach and got through twice in recent yrs (plenty when didn't, mind) - 2023 but it crashed on me at the final hurdle and then again in 2024 where I held my nerve when it crashed again and managed to get.  Think now I am committed to volunteering if doing festivals as that's close to my heart, so happy to help others when the time comes round.   The most impressive I've seen was bus sales in 2022 when 2 mates casually bagged tickets while in San Sebastian, on a phone inside the stadium during a Real Sociedad v Man Utd game!
