Live at Worthy Farm

[Gnomicide]

I wonder how well this is selling. They're really pushing it on social media, promoted posts on Instagram and Facebook, interacting with people on Twitter (which is quite rare).

Wondered that myself. Tends to make me think 'not brilliant'

Just from the people I know, I’m the only person that’s purchased it. No one else is remotely interested in paying for a livestream.

That includes all my regular festival crew who don’t miss a single year, bash the shit out of their F5 keys, value line up drop day more than Christmas etc etc 😂

I'm in this camp myself at the moment. Still undecided if I'll bother.

Same for us - our group of obsessives is now over 30 people, and between us we’ve been going for 20 years, attended Q&A’s with the Eavis and even visited the farm out of season a few times. 
 

Not one of us has booked the live stream. It’s a great idea, but for me the choice between sitting in to watch yet another livestream or heading out on the first weekend when venues are open and real bands are playing is an easy one. 
 

The September event though, should it go ahead, just try and stop me!

Not sure I want to pay to hear Damon being righteously sanctimonious for 25 minutes followed by Coldplay followed by Jarvis Cocker pontificating, spoken word only. 🤮 

Sounds like hell to be honest.

I've never had the chance to go to Glastonbury (always been too young and parents who aren't into camping) so my housemates and I have bought tickets for the Sunday afternoon. Acts are hit and miss for me but it's the closest I've got to going so far, and money's for charity so all for a good cause!

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'm slightly more swayed by the recent spoken word additions to the line-up (Kae and Jarvis particularly) but we have plans both days next weekend that would mean it's not really feasible to watch the whole thing. I hope it does well and people enjoy it, but yeah not one for me. That said if our plans get cancelled on one of the days (there's been a lot of that lately!) then I might just say fuck it and go for it.

Posted these in the Glastocam thread but posting here too. Found on Instagram.

Not entirely sure where this is, but looks to be just off the main track up through the site, according to these pictures.

Now this seems odd to me. Why such a large capacity tent? I'm not aware of any volunteers being drafted in as an 'audience', so why a tent that seems so big? I guess a smaller tent wouldn't be able to cater for a big enough stage, but it still seems odd - there must be alternatives. Won't it just seem strangely empty?

How big do we reckon it is anyway? Avalon or Avalon Cafe sized?

Production is my guess. Artists of the magnitude they have performing wont want to play the tiny tea tent they’ll be having the level & scale of production they are used to regardless of whether theres an audience.

see the 6 music festival headliners recording in an empty ally pally

looks about avalon sized or williams green. Still not that big really.

You're probably right.

Gives the tent company some money for the hire, too.

I reckon it's approximately 39x54m.

Which would put it a bit bigger than either of the venues in the Avalon Field. Somewhere between Avalon and Acoustic in size.

Just realised I haven't had my poster yet. Anyone know if they've been sent out yet?

[sedra]

So if all the artists are being filmed this week is anything actually going to be “live” live streamed on 22nd at all ?? Last year they had BBC live from the farm linking to classic performances and a few acoustic sessions.

Cheers 👍. Presumed mine would take a bit longer but just wanted to check they hadn't been sent out after payment

If we get anything it will be similar to that …fill in and maybe an acoustic performance … security wise I’d say it’s more likely that it’s all filmed in advance
