seems exceedingly unlikely.

 

seems odd that they'd put two italian things on it for nothing to do with italy.

Was your info about nothing special going on about Saturday night or in general?

Seems more odd that they'd send these passes to only people in England (specifically in the Somerset area) for it to be an Italian thing.

CAG being an Italian thing was only a guess as we were trying to work it out. The fact Parsonjack has heard there's a special show going on at a venue with the initials CAG who have just followed Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl on twitter is much more of a clue imo.

Plus you wouldn't even fly to CAG if it was a show in Rome.

hmmmm

Well this surely confirms things, a plane on site and Foos sending out boarding passes.

I am a little late to this but haven't the Foo's signed an exclusive at this year's V festival?

Someone mentioned that there is often a plane crash type thing going on in Shangri La?

It could be a coincidence, it could not...

[jparx]

OK so what the hell is the deal with this plane?

[Gucci Piggy]

Foo Fighters change their website to indicate an imminent announcement, using the theme of a boarding pass and a departure board.

Foo Fighters send out said boarding passes only to people in the Somerset area, all but one of which (that we've seen) have Glastonbury tickets and several mentions of Glastonbury on their Twitter account.

A giant plane appears on the Glastonbury site in time for the check in time and date written on the boarding pass.

Boarding pass says destination as "CAG". There is a bar in the Somerset area (where all these boarding passes have been sent to) with the initials CAG who have just followed Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl on Twitter.

A poster on this forum has heard there is a huge event taking place this Friday 24th February at CAG, with stepped up security, etc.

There is something in the code of the website which indicates that once you enter your confirmation number on the Foos website at 6pm tonight you'll be told you're adventure begins on the 24th Feb and to check your emails on the 23rd.

But it's a show in Italy

Nice summary

I took this picture on Sunday 12 February. There's your plane, but I thought it might be a part of the south east corner props. It was certainly stored with the rest of the Shangri-La bits and pieces

And theres no gossip in frome about anything special going on.

 

you're not talking to the right people

[jparx]

So the gig on Friday will be to celebrate the announcement? 

Does this mean Jack Black will be in the plane?

[Gnomicide]

 

[Winslow Leach]

Imagine following such an elaborately constructed labyrinth to its intricately plotted centre and finding fucking Foo Fighters there.

[jparx]

This whole thing has a Westworld vibe.

[joeltg]

I have a funny feeling that long awaited part to fix the BBC Glastocam will have arrived in the post this morning.

[Bradders]

I thought Foo Fighters had followed them. If they followed Foo Fighters it's probably just because people started tweeting about Foo Fighters at them.

[EamerRed]

So the rumour is the Friday night then seeing as CAG have explicitly ruled out them being special guests on the Saturday. Is there anything to link them to CAG aside from the airport code?

@eFestivals, your mate at the Bristol Post has got his finger on the pulse again I see

Didn't @parsonjack say the rumour was for the Friday?  The Huey gig is the Saturday - so they wouldn't be lying by saying the Foos aren't the special guests.

both. There's no gossip in Frome about it that he's heard (and is locked into the music scene there, too).

If cheese and grain have only recently started following Foos, that could be because the same thing has been suggested to them and they want to see what's what.

True.

But it's also strange to use two italian things for something supposedly random. 'True' random (if done by a computer) would make that as likely as anything else, but 'random' done by a human would make that very unlikely.

and it could just be something that's gone mental because someone suggested it's about the cheese & grain, too.

There's plenty of other things that might use the same initials.

it looks like the one that's been on site for years to me - tho perhhaps its another one.

Whatever it is, it's most likely to be for something mutant / jo rush / pip rush / etc.

[Jamesthedrake]

Nothing this Friday either according to Cheese and Grain:

I talked to a guy who's put gigs on in the c&g, so it's not like he's a no-one.

This is such a testament to how great a festival it is. We're all so excited for a band announcement that most of us don't even care about.
