Surely the majority know that the line up comes after the balance payments?

We’ve got newbies coming with us this year and they know what the deal is and that it will be good and not having a full line up doesn’t affect them paying the balance or not.

There's only been 1 festival since 13, where there's not been a poster either the week of or the week before balance week and that was 2015, where they confirmed the 2nd headliner. The last festival where we had this was 2010.

Probably been discussed already but I wonder if they are trying to avoid creating 'news' given the focus elsewhere at the moment?

That window has already passed when it came to being considerate of the situation. There were about 10 festival announcements in the 24 hours from the situation in Ukraine escalating to invasion. The Macca tweet seemed to have pointed towards an announcement but they seemingly held off and let that one semi cryptic message stay out there. There will never be a good time to announce the lineup if theyre trying to be sensitive. The festival can only control what it does, it cannot control what happens anywhere across the world. A few artists pushed back their tour announcements because of what was happening but that wont last too long.

Yep. If they wait for a totally perfect time the line up will be announced after the festival.

I don’t think any of my friends have paid their balance yet. A lineup would definitely do wonders.

Glasto has fallen off a lot of peoples radars at the moment. Whether we believe it on here or not.

Makes sense. No real announcements in months, and I’m guessing that seemingly canned Macca announcement was supposed to be the thing to get people talking again but alas it wasn’t to be.

It’d be fascinating to see the % people paying off their balance day one in 2022 vs 2019. I imagine it’s dropped off mainly due to lack of activity from the festival itself. Does feel like they need something soon, certainly half my group (first timers) didn’t know they needed to pay until I prompted them and now they’re really wavering with the lack of news.

Everything does feel a little bit subdued which is surprising given the gap. I would’ve thought they’d be making a big thing about everything, even the balance window opening. Maybe it’s the war (I don’t think it is personally) or maybe it’s a bit of PTSD from two cancellations and they aren’t letting themselves get too carried away.

I’m sure you’ve reminded your friends though, as have I. Even if it had fallen off their radar, they’ve had reminders and social media posts to draw their attention to it.

I think in this day and age with Whatsapp groups, and all the various social media its fairly difficult to avoid knowing about it!

Well yeah. Them going silent when things seemed to have been going in the right direction just killed their momentum in Dec and Jan. I mean its understandable that Omicron was a thing but it shouldnt have deterred them from pressing forward as they have already. Its like they got a bit timid with just the uttering of a new variant. A contrast to them getting the poster out early 2 years ago even though they knew where it was leading.

Yes but I’ve noticed a “ah yeah il get round to that” reaction instead of a “paying mine now”.

I’ve noticed the first timers in my group have all not paid yet. Telling.

You get people who forget to pay the balance every year and then inexplicably blame festival, so I’ll imagine you’ll get even more this year, especially with deposits automatically rolling over.

I’m actually terrified for once one of my group will “forget” or leave it to last minute and it will be a big problem.

Just curious, as the lead booker for my group, would I get any email notifications when a member of my group pays off their ticket?

No. You'll only get emails if you pay or someone pays for you.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt?

They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
