Likely the last chance many get to hear some of the Fleetwood Mac bangers and/or see her live in some capacity. Only 4 or 5 of them though.

With absolutely no disrespect to Stevie, I'd have paid more to see the Buckingham McVie run. Best part of a dozen Fleetwood Mac songs in there and several - Go Your Own Way, You Make Loving Fun, Little Lies, Everywhere - among my personal favourites of the singles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie must have only ever written about a dozen or so songs in FM. The standard is high, but it's not a particularly deep bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be an efestivals staple that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, it felt pertinently obvious Harry Styles would be the success post-One Direction, but I wouldn't have pegged Niall Horan to be second.

Not everyone, but enough to be really annoying. At least the Glasto champing chair crowd seems to be friendly. Yes this. Also at Latitude main stage you often have loads of young kids (which is cool) but when they are lifted onto dad’s/uncle Jim’s shoulders and several of them stand in a line it is really, really bloody annoying when you are behind them. And you can be a long way behind them and still not see the stage. This is worse than pmild flags by some length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this at Bluedot for Bjork in '22 and it was insufferable, had to move around for 10 minutes of the set (The moment she started playing the shoulder brigade attacked). Not a fan to be honest, its super rude and blocks everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone, but enough to be really annoying. At least the Glasto champing chair crowd seems to be friendly. The only argument I have had at Glastonbury with someone outside my own group was one of the picnic blanket weirdos. It was near the front of the pyramid field I think prior to whoever was subbing and there were masses of people trying to to get in and out of the field. This woman had a HUGE blanket laid out with the corners weighted down. There was a row of chairs behind it with people in them and a row in front so it was almost a dead end and it was causing a bottle neck of people very courteously trying their best to make their way around this woman's little land-grab island. This weirdo was standing in the middle of the 40 sqft blanket by herself patrolling to make sure nobody stepped on it. Despite my best (very tipsy) efforts to avoid doing so I did in fact stand on the corner of her blanket and she then started very publicly berating me for doing so. I gave her an awful volley of verbal abuse and very generously found enough decency within myself to spare her life. Just don't understand that mentality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll shift still, I'm sure, but it is a bit of a soft look if SZA is indeed the headliner in the end and she's failing to sell out to the rich kids in London too.

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 The launch price General Admission seem to have all sold out. Not an expert knows all the various BST tiers so not sure what the real across is to other acts e.g. SZS is still on presale and Stevie N is on general sale.

NorthernSoul52 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Yeah, they don't make it easy. I think she's still on presale, so if that has sold out, then all as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I remember in 2016 there was a chair and blanket brigade inside the Acoustic tent. Pain in the neck getting through and I got tutted at for catching the edge of a blanket with my very muddy boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
