If you're interested in flogging molly, I've heard you need to get up to the stone circle.

Sorry.  Someone had to do it.

I very much enjoy watching the Glasto Chat people losing their shit whenever one of these surfaces (which they always do, to every one of them).

I've never ventured on to Glasto Chat. Is it worth the effort? Is it an open group?

Closed group, and tbh the seeing them lose their minds over leaked lineups is the only benefit of joining the group as for the most part it's just them posting stupid barely-Glastonbury related pictures or speculating over awful acts that could appear. For a group so seemingly obsessed with Glastonbury it's funny to see how willing they are to believe any tidbit of false information that is fed their way - stark contrast to here

It's closed, but everyone gets approved pretty quickly.  It's hard to have a proper conversation about anything due to the way topics fly by on Facebook, but it can still be a source of festival conversation if things have gone quiet in here.  On the whole, a bit too much 'hilarious banter' for my liking on there.  

It generally makes me feel old.

I don't think I'll bother then. I only use Facebook for all important Camp Ralph updates, I'll keep it that way and rely on you lot for Glasto Chat updates. Have they seen the poster yet?

I haven't been on Glasto Chat for a couple of years but I felt like you could always tell who the other people who also post on here were, mainly in that they were much more reasonable and didn't just believe everything like FloorFiller says.

Dunno, I remember seeing they'd sold out a night in Norwich on their last tour which seems a bit far to travel even for their fans. They do have some faint popularity in the rest of the country - when they headlined the tent at Reading a couple of years back it was 75% full - but probably not more than any other forgettable mid-2000s indie landfill, and probably not enough to keep them going without the Northern obsessives.

Bear in mind that the largest venue in Norwich has 1550 capacity (iirc) so hardly arena sized

I read that as 'didn't just believe everything that FloorFiller says'

Lucy Rose touring this summer, with a big gap in June, potentially for a few festivals. New album out in July.

You'd be a fool not to believe FloorFiller.

I lasted about half an hour on Glasto Chat before muting it from my timeline. Full of roasters.

Speaking of Hinds, they're currently recording and have a few festival dates already lined up for the summer. Probably unlikely for an immediate return, but I'd love it if they did turn up again. They said how much fun they were having as punters from the stage this year, so I suppose they might want to return. Fingers crossed.

As a huge Hinds fanboi, I'd bloody love them to return. One of my favourite bands from the last 2/3 years; so much fun and some cracking songs. Had a great night with them in Crows Nest last year when Jagwar Ma were playing.

They've always been quite quick with knocking out new material so hoping they'll have this album out ready in May/early June for the summer festivals. I'd have thought they'd be keen to keep up the momentum they've built over the last 3 years by getting out on to the festival circuit this year and then a full tour in the autumn.

Yeah fingers crossed. They seem to love playing so much, I expect they'll hit the road as soon as they can. I know they've got a US tour before Coachella, so fingers crossed it extends over this way in the summer.

I joined Glasto chat a year or so ago. I left after a couple of hours. My brain turned to goo.

I had much the same experience.

any chance of Nas and Damien Marley on the Sunday at West Holts?

[Tommy101]

Dirtyphonics are playing a festival in France the week after Glastonbury, would love to see them back on the farm. I stumbled across them in Cubehenge (I think) in 2011 in the middle of the afternoon following some filthy drops from across the field. when I turned up there were about 20 people there and by the end of their set there were hundreds - really appealed to randoms walking past I think.

They don't seem to play the UK too often unfortunately.

I think this is one of my most listened to youtube clips.

People only know the Diddle-i song over here, maybe Surrender at a push. Besides, quite poor live. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Surrender's a banger, mind.

You think? a lot of tickets (or at least some) go on sale at 10am, although if you're suggesting it could be a hint at lineup release I'll take it - seems as good a day as any.
