Our hero has returned!

Let us all praise him in the time-honoured fashion.

Goat sacrifices not necessary, but I'm sure they will be most appreciated.

[pezzypops]

...and that brings up a oddity in itself...

The tickets went on sale early... sold out early... and they told us this would mean that the line-up was released earlier than in previous years.

But as yet... no word....

you should know by now that what michael eavis says and the official line from the festival are often two different things

re: 4th headliner

Speaking of leaks: if anyone finds relevant information, make sure you grab a copy. The year that Q (edit: looks like it was the Grauniad) posted the main stages with times they pulled it down pretty quickly.

[r0cky]

Right I'm off to get some Grauniad journos drunk then.

If you do succeed, can you please check to see if The Prodigy are playing? Thanks!

Jeezus. Halvin, you put in the hours. I've been at in an hour and a half, admittedly a drunken hour and a half, but my 1st bash at a clashfinder is rubbish!

1st attempt at Clashfinder

Having said that, there could be at least twice as many bands on there and more accurately, from the information on these forums. Anyone who wants a copy of my attempt is more than welcome. It's a Google doc, so I'll be able to give edit rights to any Google account holder who wants them.

I know! I need to go to bed . The point is, we have enough info to start.

[stuartbert two hats]

Surely better waiting till Monday?

[lianne and craig]

Now that I'm sober, that makes an awful lot of sense!

Yeah, nevermind. Beadyman will be good thou.

I'll wait to see the finished clashfinder on Tuesday if you'll be good enough to do it. You now realise 150,000 people are waiting?

[irons]

I was just trying to provoke halvin into action! actually, thinking about it, we do have some of the confirmed lineup times for Shangri La...

Not a bad drunken effort as it goes, but you're up against an expert at fitting an absolute tonne of info into a confined space. Pressure's on him, but he's never failed to deliver so far.

The Specials are lower on the bill than Fleet Foxes?

[irons]

yeah thats what I thought. Im sure Fleet Foxes will be 5th, behind Lily Allen, Specials (who r 3rd at V) and hopefully Pixies!

[stuartbert two hats]

That must be an error - I think Fleet Foxes the sun anyhow, as opposed to the sunset slot.

All will be revealed on Monday

[timespeedsup]

I've decided to start again, using VBA to turn lineup data into a clashfinder. I have no expectation whatsoever of producing anything better than Halvin, but it allows me to geek out with Glasto and programming at the same time!
