Shangri La

Arrivals looks like a stage entirely dedicated to Desi acts which is pretty cool and forward thinking.

Pretty excited about Blanco on Platform 23 (rapper from Kennington, Angolan heritage, draws a lot of his sounds from Brazillian music).

My mate who absolutely loves desi acts can't go this year, she's going to be gutted when she sees it!

Was gonna say the same thing joy anonymous, Fred again, fourtet and skrillex seem to go everywhere together! I’ll be at this set for sure

Hopefully get a bit more information closer to the time, the expectation is through the roof for this and I think its in danger of being a safety and accessibility nightmare. It isn't a big space at all

I thought Sistxrhood is for women identifying people only right? I’d happily attend if I’m welcome but if not I’m not pressed

If you check the venue details on the website it says they are opening it up 🙂

SISTXRHOOD | Glastonbury Festival (glastonburyfestivals.co.uk)

 

Welcome!

Interesting, wonder if there was any pressure to open a stage up to everyone to (slightly) ease up crowds in places?

Just wonder if Emily had any power to say, close it down or open it up?

There's no way what your insinuating is happening

I actually tend to disagree with this. I think he will be at glasto in some capacity. Been saying it for months. I just wish it wasn’t publicised “with friends” people will just go cause they think it’ll be Fred

Biggest spreader of people at that moment could be a big TBA slot at Arcadia of some capacity right before Joy with some hints that'll be Fred the coming weeks. Something after which he can still pop-up at Joy's set at Nowhere. Pretty sure organizers know it would be a stupid idea to announce like that and expect anything less than a complete shutdown of Shangri La the hours before Joy's set.

Yeah I agree. Seems careless. Surely they knew that’s what people would think. Why not just leave the “with friends” but off and then if Fred is going to be there then it’s a complete surprise. Don’t get why they’ve not done that. Yeah I think they would have learned their lesson after last year with Fred. Went over an hour early and was carnage

Nabihah Iqbal on Arrivals stage is my highlight (apart obviously from the mighty Bobby V).  I'd been hoping she'd turn up somewhere on the lineup this year and my prayers have been answered.

+1 on this. 

 

If you're into mid-80s dreamy indie music in the style of AR Kane or the Durutti Column I'd recommend her latest project.

My gut instinct is that it's probably due to the ongoing conversation about gender - maybe there were issues with 'proving' your gender identity if you present very masculine perhaps? Or perhaps it's also a move towards encouraging allyship? As you say though, it could also ease congestion and have logistical benefits too.

Yes. Not a crowd thing, but def a re-think for the reasons you say.

Hopefully they just realised that in 2024 segregation of any kind is an awful decision.

Last year, that venue is female only I think.

 

However, this year it has been opened up to everyone.


Friend went in 2022 when it opened and said it was wicked, proper cool inclusive space. Shame if they've closed it for the terfs or the "when's mens day" crowd like.

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
