Pilton Party


JoeyT

Recommended Posts

With the big one now but a mere fond yet hazy memory attention moves towards the first Friday in September and Pilton Party.

Anyone fancy taking a guess at who we might be seeing / when tickets will be on sale?

I've drawn the short straw and have to do the queuing for my group this year but I go on holiday at the end of July for 10 days so hoping tickets don't go on sale whilst I'm away!

In 2019 tickets went on sale Saturday 3rd August - PP was on Friday 6th September.
In 2018 tickets went on sale Saturday 28th July - PP was on Friday 31st August.

Both 5 weeks (less a day) before the PP.

PP is usually the day before the Pilton Flower show, which is the first Saturday of September - so PP will be Saturday 3rd September this year.

So I'm guessing tickets will go on sale Saturday 30th July - which is 5 weeks before the PP.

I presume tickets will be online as the shop at Glastonbury is closed

They can still have tickets sold in person without doing it themselves. An obvious option would be to do it from the local Oxfam shop in return for another donation. Or of they want to mix it up a bit any other charity shop in town.

If I remember It’s designed primarily for locals as a thank you for having the festival in the locality and all the inconvenience it causes. Only if it doesn’t sell out do tickets become available on line.  That’s how we got them the last time, Wolf Alice and Supergrass. It’s a lovely occasion.

If tickets go on sale on Sat 30th it'll be pretty difficult for me to get them given I'll be in Greece.

What's the max you can get?

I've never actually queued myself so will have to get someone else to get mine.

Still no rumours on who's playing as far as I'm aware. Any guesses?

I'll start with guesses. Happy to be shouted down but...

1975
Paolo Nutini
Kasabian
Hot Chip
Editors
Fred Again...

Gone with acts (Hot Chip aside) that we tentatively thought would be at the festival this year at certain points since 2019 who would get a decent slot at the 2023 festival.

I know Paolo did in fact play this year but given it was "secret" I do think he'll be back in a big slot in 2023.

Also realise Paolo played Pilton Party back in 2010 but given Wolf Alice have also payed twice there is a potential for a repeat.

If it is like like in previous years tgen Acts are announced before the tickets go on sale. Announcement is usually in August around 8 -15th ish. 4 tickets per person.

If it is the act that was supposed to place the last cancelled one then all your guesses are wrong. However I can not say who just in case it is the same. I will not say yay or nay to any guesses either. My source would not be happy.

Off the top of my head i think its usually 6nr tickets per person? Been a few years since ive been or bought some though!

i was thinking Sam Fender could be an option, playing in Pompy the weekend before and then off to the States week after?

Reading between the lines there, it will be @pilton digger on the spoons, maybe yourself on the lazer pen

    • TOP 10 acts (top 5 in bold😞   Blood Orange (ciutat)   Guitarricadelafuente   Oklou - Looks like I'm capable of enjoying music in the rain after all, just not the whole night.   Rilo Kiley   The Cure   Jade   Depresión Sonora   Gelli Haha (Parc del Forum) - Her music never really clicked with me. Until I saw her live.   MARINA   Six Sex (ciutat) - I was shocked how supersmall the venue was and that almost everyone (except for me) knew every word of every song (including the ones that were released this weekend!).   Honorable mention:   Ashnikko - missed the first 15 minutes (because of Gelli Haha) and I'm not really a fan of her music, but the show was an absolute blast.
    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
