They're made a decision not to post the times beforehand, deal with it. The sense of entitlement coming over regarding these set times is quite pathetic really. Don’t agree. We overwhelmingly give them lots of praise on here. It’s balanced to point out occasions where they go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipe Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 One time confirmed. Thursday 4pm at the campfire when we light the wickerman with the organisers in it so the harvest of stage times doesn't fail next year. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Simon is sat about twiddling his thumbs on the week of the festival laughing at people asking for it on Twitter. 46 minutes ago, robith said: it's annoying and a bit shoddy, but Glastonbury this is not. You could legitimately watch 15 minutes of every band playing at this festival. How much planning really can you do? Yeah seems a very odd thing to be directing loads of energy at the day before the festival. You can "plan" an EOTR day in a couple of minutes. We're not going interrailing.

Been incredibly busy, but will try to post both my usual festival weather forecast and a few tips on acts tonight or in the morning, as I've been lucky enough to see a lot of them already this summer.

Drutt Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I like the stage times before I leave home, mainly because I don't have a colour printer at my tent, but not a big deal to take a pen to transfer the colours from clashfinder to the programme on arrival. My OCD part will cope I think... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always leave the festival every morning when they post the times and travel to a printing company in Salisbury who will print the clashfinder out in colour for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 One thing everyone has failed to mention is that if you know the set times in advance then you know clashes. And if you know clashes, you can listen to the acts a bit more to decide which you prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really make any difference if they come out today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) https://twitter.com/GweniferRaymond/status/1433039474951430152 Never mind where and when we'll learn the stage times, is it too much to hope the festival might actually announce that three of their acts have pulled out in the last 24 hours? Or will they just endlessly link to the Covid protocol page again? Edited September 1, 2021 by SweepingTheNation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeforheroes Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I imagine the uncertainty with times is havoc for neurodoverse people. And really a clashfinder or app is by far the easiest way to inform people of changes in the covid era. They're in the programme is pathetic really as guaranteed to be wrong by the event. There isn't any benefit to what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the festival is going to hoodwink people who are on site into thinking those are still playing until the last minute. Question: is anyone actually looking forward to EOTR? Because right now it doesn't seem so. Edited September 1, 2021 by SweepingTheNation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drutt Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I'm super excited. Went to Latitude earlier in the year, and though good was so crowded and big, I found myself longing for the chilled experience of eotr,. Hopefully the only minor stress will be deciding which stage to head to next! On that subject, 1st on tomorrow, Blood Wizard vs Fortitude Valley. I'm enjoying both... Anyone seen either to feed back on the live experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I agree it would’ve been nice, I like to plan for the exact reason you set out (and usually print a clashfinder too, although this year for the first time I’m taking my proper phone so can just use that). It’s not really that big of a deal, though, particularly as the times announced by the acts so far have tied in exactly with 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowowl Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Very much looking forward to it. Plenty for me to see and the fact the line-up is not quite as stacked as a normal year is leaving more space to visit the Talking Heads stage or just wander around. Particularly can't wait to see Little Simz, that Tiny Desk concert she released yesterday is amazing. Also a self-imposed 'no tents' rule will mean some early nights, although a stellar secret set announcement might tempt me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe grab a coffee, a light breakfast, have a relax and a read, maybe a shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
