It varies by act but Fleetwood Mac just played Wembley so you’d probably want to be there to watch the sub if you wanted to claim a spot in the pit. Or be ready to dive in when the sub finishes for anywhere not in the pit but in front of the sound towers. Sorry, yeh....meant FM! I heard the Rolling Stones crowd was carnage getting anywhere near (sadly a year before my time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there was fuck all on the other stages that night, as long as FM have stronger competition than Jason Status and Fuck Buttons it’ll definitely not be that bad. For Kanye (who had a big crowd, at least at the start) we were there in time for Pharrell, but were still able to get in and out of the pit 45 minutes before Kanye came on to go top up our water bottles. Purely depends on how bothered you are, some people will wait for the headliners all day ? Edited July 13, 2019 by Rose-Colored Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck sake it’s gonna be like the Foo Fighters all over again. Would hardly call those covers random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, a band who could probably release two separate Greatest Hits collections and still have bangers left over shouldn’t be wasting time on covers, is the point.

Hahahaha! I actually know people who went to Chase and Status and claim to have no regrets....I have absolutely no idea who Fuck Buttons refers to but it cracked me up none the less Aye, when I asked a friend of a friend this year on Sunday morning what her plan was, she said standing by the front barrier of the Pyramid stage until after Miley. She is 5ft and apparently adores Kylie, so maybe that's legit in some way...but I still hasten to add that we are not friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGABOWL Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 3 hours ago, CaledonianGonzo said: Every argument that can be applied to Fleetwood Mac not getting it or phoning it in or doing it for the money was also deployed in advance of the Stones doing it. On the night they showed up sharp, were dope as fuck, rewrote Factory Girl with a set of Glastonbury-specific lyrics, unleashed Lisa Fisher's stab at Merry Clayton, brought Mick Taylor on for a soul-shaking Midnight Rambler and then climaxed in a near hour-long display of endless life-changing boogie that rocked the fucking foundations of Somerset. In short, we don't know. I occasionally forget how good they were that night. Thanks for reminding me. Everything I hoped that gig could be.

Friday or Saturday and you’d be fine as the sub is finishing. Sunday..... about 11am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They/he/she headlined The Park. We got there towards the end of Primal Scream and had a decent spot for the Stones but definitely behind the sound desk. One of my favourite headliners ever! However I did need a wee from just before they came on and had to hold it throughout the entire thing because I knew I'd never get back to my mates. That was tough.

I was gutted Fuck Buttons clashed with the Stones if they get booked again against Fleetwood Mac I sure as hell wouldn't be watching the ageing soft rock cocaine enthusiasts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were right down the front for the first 4/5 songs but left as it was getting a bit heavy, plus I needed the loo. Watched the rest from up the Grande Boeuff stall and had a great time. Plenty of space, could see/hear perfectly and easy access to cider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddyflintstonree Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 So Skybet released their Glasto 2020 odds a couple week back, and they all seem relatively plausible except why on earth are The Smiths at 11/2?! I would have expected at least 10,000-1 surely? Aside from that, Taylor Swift at 7-1 seems like pretty decent value. https://m.skybet.com/tv-music-and-film/glastonbury-festival/event/24085172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiths 1/1000. Edited July 14, 2019 by Avalon_Fields 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see The Carter's or Taylor doing it, Gaga I could and Arianna I think would accept the American slot, tbh she could even get 3rd down Sunday again like Miley.

Either that or Morrissey realises that he's been an arse and that his legacy is going down the drain, figures that the best way to restore his name would be to humbly put differences aside to reunite the band and then wait no this isn't ever happening.
