I know I spent most of my time worse for wear in the late 90s but I am sure the New Bands Tent wasn't a mirage 😛

and before anyone says otherwise, besides the top 2/3 bands it was definitely a space for new bands. I remember 2000 was wall to wall indie bands with their first singles out. Very similar to WG I imagine.

The New bands tent did exist and while it had lots of new bands it wasn't tent for new bands it was a new tent for bands.

All the stages in Shangri-La now missing from the website & nothing on the Shangri-La page, apart from 'This page will be updated nearer the Festival'. Page updated yesterday.

Previous view of the page, from January, with the stages on the right-handside.

 

Good spot. Changes may be afoot!

Wonder if we'll get Shangri La poster this week then.

I have to admit every year I look at the acts in utter bewilderment, not a clue who any of them are. But it must be exciting for the people who love that kind of music.

There's always a lot I have no idea about but there's been a decent number of guitar acts in amongst it all. Hopefully something that can still be catered for and they don't just end up all dance/electronic.

I think I remember Shangri-la and Silver Hayes being two of the early ones in recent years?

Avalon and Silver Hayes tend to be the earlier ones I believe, had a quick look at The Thingy and that appears to be the case anyway.

Along with Theatre & Circus + Kidzfield.

i think it does what i've seen happen with other places - of booking the same acts under different names.

chris tofu and global local might be the same. - decent chance as i know chris uses both names, and sometimes others too.

They'll look at the photos of the people who haven't paid their balance yet to decide if they should drop Avalon or SH 😂

[Avalon_Fields]

They don’t (I think) ever start with individual posters before the balance deadline date. Next week we should see some action.

Don’t know if this has been discussed elsewhere, but someone on the Oxfam group chat is saying that The Guardian bags/ paper sales are no more…

Damn. Those bags were always a good gift for people wanting something brought back from the festival.

Ahh man this is sad. Haven't collected the bags since 2014, but liked a Saturday morning paper and coffee 😔

Happy memories of the guardian lounge at my first Glastonbury.

Yes - can remember trying to read the old-style broadsheet Observer in the wind in times gone past!

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned here before, the current Google Maps satellite view is just after the festival took place. I thought Bath & West was just CV camping, but there must be lots of crew camping there? Anyway, it’s fun to explore.

I'm not sure which year that photo is from, or how long after the Festival it was taken - but the activity at B&W is likely entirely unrelated to Glastonbury. Prior to this year NASS Festival took place at B&W , usually only 2 weeks after Glastonbury, and the site is also used for a lot of other stuff throughout the summer.

Thanks, that explains it. Looks like about 2 weeks after. It’s a relatively recent year as Sticklinch can be seen. I reckon it’s 2023.

It looks like Carmageddon is there, so that would make it 2022 with Stinklinch.

Edit: Can also make out William's Green - so definitely 2022?

That's the abbreviation, they were going to call it Sincineramadramakarmageddon.
