Jesus...I must have been way more spandangled than I thought at previous Glastos, as I've spent a lot of time at the Glade and thought it was just one stage :wacko: The maps not giving me any other clues either. I can see one of thems being moved from SE, bit where was Space Port?

This is all kinds of epic though! However, Im feeling the absence of Talaboman though. Its not happening, is it?

I know. Mental. It's a shame that line up is there. Probably the shittest venue. And too small for half of those acts. 

Yeh...given that I'd never even noticed it existed before, I seriously hope some of those guys are playing multiple sets. Esp Stanton Warriors!

Oh cool! But...urm... I dont remember seeing those big green people before either. I think I might have to go and have a good long word with myself.... 

i THINK it's just over the path towards Holts? The Lounge and the Spaceport are past the Glade "tent" and a little bit across.

There certainly wasn't much green round there last year!  The people are there every year, but I don't remember them being green at all in 2016.

Is that 2015?  I don't remember it looking that nice in 2014 either.

What sort of stuff does Jah play? Anything like early PiL or totally different?

He's totally different to PiL, but he has one fantastic band! Lots of dub, a bit jazzy, a bit world-music-y, he's on my MUST SEE's for certain, amazing show.

Mostly totally different I think but he throws in the odd PiL tune.

The early 90s stuff is great.

Yeah unmissable really. 

Think @Mardy will be happy?

Awesome line up. Digging The Beat, aint seen them live yet so thatll be another to cross of the list (evil clashes permitting). 

Few bands on here and Shangrila so hoping were getting a few bands playi g different stages as that help with the clashes which at this stage is looking like it could be pretty torrid already

I'm chuffed the correspondents are going to be back again this year, I know they are regulars now but I love them no less, and clashes permitting this year's set will be my sixth time seeing them. I wish I knew more of that line up as judging by all our your reactions it's a killer. Anyone similar to the Correspondents that I should check out?

Last year was the first time I had spent any proper time at the Glade. Great spot. Very very pleased with LBHQ being moved over to midtown, it's increased prominence and accessibility means it has to get a lot bigger though. Every single scouser is gonna be there for some of the big names and there are a lot at Glasto

Agreed. Its in a bit of a shit spot as well right next to the main path that leads to the old railway track.

Definitely their strongest offering in years.  2015 was a great year for them (last year not so much) and it looks like they have a crack at topping that this time round, particularly if the unannounced acts are as eclectic and interesting as they usually tend to be.

Kolsch is also an absolute must see for me: 

 

Looking forward to this.  1983 is on my regular rotation of albums but need to explore a bit further!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
