It’s not exclusive to Heavenly Records, it’s just run by them which is why most of their acts play.

Jagwar Ma, Mac De Marco and Lemon Twigs are the bigger bands who’ve played recently not on HR.

Ah good. I think Jagwar Ma were on Heavenly, or associated with them in some way, but the others weren't, bodes well.

One of my favourite ever gigs was Gruff Rhys there in 2014, a lovely person made me a cup of tea as I watched gruff come in with a suitcase full of electrical equipment and set it up himself. Magical gig, wonderful place that feels a bit removed from the festival 

Here you go Suzie; Gruff Rhys, Crows Nest, Glastonbury 2014

Seen some great little sessions up there, bands I've never heard before or since and people like the amazing Mr. Rhys and Michael Kiwanuka. They were publishing the running order on Twitter in 2017 and I think that was a bad idea, too easy to find out who was on so King Gizz in particular I couldn't get within ten yards of the hut.

Not for me this year (unless the competition Gods smile upon me) enjoy, you lucky lucky buggers.

Anyone think the daily line-up (if not on Twitter again this year*) qualifies for going on the @SecretGlasto Twitter account?

I can’t recall if it was last year. 

If not, I’m willing to take one for the eFests team and yomp up there from Row Mead on at least one or two mornings / days to get a photo of the blackboard

 

*I’ve tweet the Crows Nest to ask but they’ve not been active since last June!

Crow's Nest tweet out the line up. 

Just wondered if they would again this year; last year bring the first time IIRC, and it was more rammed than usual I thought.

Would be helpful maybe just to retweet it even if they do so that there are less things to look at. 

 

Has anyone ever just played The Crow's nest. Wondering what the chances of Stealing Sheep or Gwenno turning up are. I've seen them both recently and they were both fantastic and are Heavenly artists. I thought they would turn up somewhere as they are actively touring.

Black Midi Friday night will be unreal, don't forget your ear plugs. My ears still ring from Toy in there a few years back.

With regards to bands only playing the Crows Nest and nowhere else, I saw Pumarosa there one year after Muse (I think) so it does happen (albeit rarely)...

That's keeping the dream alive at least.

Sure in previous years there’s been either a copy of a pic of the lineup tweeted by SG, or they’ve rt’d Crows Nest’s pic. Only follow the former but recall knowing the line up every day.

Lemon Twigs were ace, hadn’t realised what a racket they make live. Fantastic follow up to Flaming Lips.

The Crows Nest is one of my favourite place of Glastonbury. Such a special atmosphere there. At every editions I've attended I was lucky enough to witness some amazing nice gigs there that remain some of the highlights for me. Gruff Rhys in 2014, and Michael Kiwanuka in 2016 are among them. I would add Parcels in 2017.

I was served tea by an ex producer of Goldfrapp whilst chatting with a dancer in Joe Goddard's Park set, and it wasn't in the hipster sense at all, but great fun.

They've always put the lineup up on the twitters each morning going back to when they first had an account in 2013, and yes it often includes a handful of exclusives.

Nice one. Cheers Simpo. No idea how I’ve missed this. Makes life much easier. 

Edit: I think as someone else alluded to, I’ve missed this due to indiscriminately and over-excitedly following every Glastonbury-related twitter account pre-festival and it’s got lost in the ‘noise’.

ahhhh I definitely shouldn't have looked at the lineup for 2017 (when I couldn't get a tickets)

Girl Ray, Lemon Twigs, Whitney, King Gizzard and Dr Dog?! ahhhh man so good!

My crows nest highlight is prob Stornoway in 2013, that was bloody lovely :)

 

Foo Fighters overrunning made us miss seeing 3 out of 3 King Gizz sets!

But Lemon Twigs was great, check out These Words lining up with fireworks going off on Arcadia...

I'd have though Squid would be a shoe in. Dream Wife maybe as well. I only ever take my burner phone so I never get to find out who's playing, been lucky a couple of times though. I definitely knew king gizz would be there before the fest in 2017.

It's normally transcribed, and last year due to the increase in people using Twitter directly on smartphones, it was also retweeted.

I think we always cover it.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
