Didn't realise their lineup had been added. Ho99o9 on Thursday night will be ideal.

Why do bands have to use weird characters in their names? I had to ask a friend how to pronounce this- I'd go for "ho nine nine o nine", not Horror. it's like Chvrches all over again!

Ch ver ches. I mean really. My inner grammar nazi is very twitchy!!!

To me 9s look like gs so I thought it was Hoggog at first glance.

To be fair to Chvurches I head on here that it was a savvy choice for findability on tinternet search engines (SEO and all that)

Do we think there will be anymore bands added to this?

Currently only 2 on the Saturday and Sunday.

[simian_mobile_mushrooms]

Another great addition to the festival and I'm not even a big fan of metal or much heavier stuff. I like Metallica but that's about it. Still though, can't wait to check out this stage during the day on a wander

[Horror85]

I'd hope they would add more. As much as it never been all day schedule, feel like there could be 1 or 2 more each day.

Let's call them Hoggog! That's good!

What do you mean?

Heck usually all bugger off into the audience whilst playing, and then often out of the venue, in the loo, at the bus stop outside... They still manage to sound pretty good whilst they are at it. I think I saw the drummer crowd surf once with his drums...

[Metal Monkey]

Looking forward to Ho99o9, not seen them or been impressed by the videos, but everyone I know who's seen them rants about them being amazing live. Thursday is going to be a good day.

Does anyone know when the stage times will be annouced for band like ho99o8 or heck.

Cheers. It seems its on the website but not the app i was using.

 

[Impropaganda]

do we know if they will be having dj's playing tunes inbetween sets as well? would be great if they are

[Steveyett]

I can't see this stage on the official app.  Back to pen and paper then

[Tyonks]

Could see me spending a lot of time at this stage! Hopefully the kind of music will put off enough people so it isnt rammed. 

[vintagelaureate]

Saw this on Twitter. Sounds like the tube carriage is the stage/venue (capacity 150). Guessing there must be outside room too!?

[Keithy]

Just noticed that Ho99o9 are now on at 11pm on thurs not 1am

[Mouseboy11]

Did anyone actually get in? Tried to Thursday for Ho99o9 but not a chance.

Spoke to the guy who was running it and he said he was genuinely amazed by the response and said they were only expecting 50 odd people. Pleased for them but hope they get a bigger stage next time!

[she bangs the drums]

I tried too but gave up after 10 mins as queue was massive and not moving. Didn't bother for rest of weekend as long way to walk if no chance of getting in. 

[guitarbhoy1888]

Queued 45 minutes for glen Matlock after the queue woman told us we would definitely make it in. Turns out she was off by roughly 50 people. Gutted. Ended up catching a great rockabilly band further down though so not all bad 

[balti-pie]

saw ho99o9 and wormrot in there, Thursday night and Saturday night respectively - it was brilliant in there. Friendly staff, amazing tunes, really good punters, ridiculous bonkers venue - I bloody loved it, I'd move in if I could! 

I chatted to the Earache guy too, he was a nice fella - I said I'd be really happy to volunteer/work it if they get invited back, by the sounds of things he'd love to make it regular thing 

[Alex DeLarge]

I managed to get in and the queue didn't seem that bad to me? I was just lucky I guess!

Extreme Noise Terror were on and seemed genuinely confused if appreciative of how weird the set-up of the tube was as well as the fact it was a band like them playing Glastonbury. That being said they had their fun with it and were pretty stellar.

Less stellar was the twat who thought it'd be funny to shout skinhead/ Skrewdriver, thankfully the frontman heard and showed up the heckler, the look on the twat's face when he got called out was pretty priceless.

It's a shame what you lot said about not being able to get in, going on the tube and seeing Napalm Death get a good crowd on the Truth stage shows that booking these acts paid off and I hope we see more of it next Glastonbury!

[The Nal]

Did anyone make it in here? Looks like complete chaos

[Nobody Interesting]

I went to go for Glen Matlock but the queue was massive 45 minutes before he was due on so could not be bothered.

[Tommy101]

I know it wasn't on the Express but I ended up watching Napalm Death standing next to the dad out of My Parents are Aliens. I don't like bothering the famous when they're enjoying the festival but I really might regret not getting a photo of that one.
