Pre-registration this time round, which may or may not take the edge of ticket hunting.

http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/



Kicks off on the 1st of Feb, tickets on sale April(ish) and festival kicks off  Fri 22/06/07.

Anyone going, hope to see... etc?

Not really fucked who plays to be honest there's usually something to keep everyone happy.   If not wonder off with a box of red wine and a smoke and something inevitably turns up.

After the plastic fantastic V last year hopefully Glasto should prove to be more refreshing.  Still as commercial as Summerfield’s mind, but a bit rougher round the edges and laid back than a lot of the other big events.  Besides Frank Sidebottom should be there, which is worth the entrance fee alone.

Fancy a wonder down to Szihget in Ungry this year as well.

http://www.sziget.hu/festival_english/news/84463.html

Always up for a bit of glasto fun, 2006 felt a bit empty with out it. Be interesting how this pre sales registration jobby turns out. I'll be pissed off if I don't get a ticket.

Not going

Going to I.O.W instead

Sounds a right load of hassle,I'll camp in garden and take some acid instead.

i want to go to this! went to iow last year and it was ace but i have never been to glasto and want to go!

I'll do my best to get a ticket, lots of people graduating this year and glasto is timed just about perfectly.

should be a crazy few days

 :shock: surely lots of people graduate every year?

Glasto's had its best years. Since Radio 1 got heavily involved it's all gone a bit gay - I mean, the Sugababaes on the main stage! FUCK OFF

lots of people i know are graduating this year, is what i meant

i meant i meant, if only me aunty had bollocks shed be my uncle

Doubt i'll bother this year, too much other shit already planned

whats a bollocks shed?

One that falls apart in high winds  :P

I had better get a bloody ticket for this... Glasto 2005 is one of the best things i've done.

I want to go just to see Kasabian headline.  :beers:

Pilton went right downhill after the first free festival....I used to like the free festivals in Windsor Great Park......its amazing how you can sit in a tent feeling quite secure until OB come and batter it down.

oh fuck off reg you old cunt :D

  Chill out man...don't lay your heavy vibe on me....ID passes for a festival is like sooooo 1984 George Orwell man.  

 Whatever happened to Dr Strangely Strange?

Arctic Monkeys are headlining i think on the pryamid stage.

http://www.swindon.gov.uk/leis_rec_link_view-3.jpg

yes they are  8) apprently the worlds biggest band are playing too (fucking hope thats not U2) the bad thing is we won't find out until tickets go on sale

The magic numbers?

Chas and Dave?

I thought i heard Eavis say last night that Kasabian, Razorlight, Muse, and Arctic Monkeys definitely weren't headlinging? :?

Kylie's definitely not there either.

I heard Bkork might be headlinging aswell.

Bkork ??????

Indeed, on the Other Stage

Bjork!  :?  oh dear.

The only acts i know that are there are Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire & Kasabian.

jools holland and his big band orchestra more like!

I'd like to see the polyphonic spree play never seen them, or kasabian for that matter although I could never quite be bothered to give kasabians second album a listen.

Would like to see the flaming lips, they must be due a glastonbury performance.

Who knows who'll play, you always have loads of rumours banging about.

^^^ madness Ben.

Kasabians latest album is better than the first.

Polyphonic spree! They were there last time I went. 2002 I think, poss 03 - there were hundreds of 'em!!

i think Kasabian's new album is quite good. I bought it Monday and it is really good.

Didn't say it was bad just never made the effort to get hold of it. Maybe I will at some point

The thing that annoys me about Kasabian is their crappy videos.The latest one for 'Me plus one' is awful,naked women,the rebels :-))(

At least The Who have been announced... Glastonbury 2007 just got interesting!

yeah thats probably the "world's biggest band" then  :-))( dont mind the who that much though. they are ok but not great

Okay? I beg to differ. They're still an incredible live act and their songs are pure genius.

I suppose it's better than them wearing gay white jeans all the time like some other group.  :roll:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: very true

bjork is bloody amazing, i'd love to see her live especially at glasto

hahahahah why are you such a retard?

Im now registered, anyone else?

yep me too

Gonna try - but the photo restrictions are worse than getting a passport! and I'm running out of time before my holiday - need to find out which of my mates fancies it, cos of the restrictions I can't just buy 2 tickets and go with whoever's around!

 :soapy tit wank:
I think you'll find its only Johny that wears the white jeans :wink:  Anyways ,i'm sure Serge owns at least one pair of skinny white trousers  :)

Serge >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Johny B

FACT!

And im sure Serge doesn't wear them 24/7

shit, need to get on and register for this

Serge >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Johny B

 :nod:

I'm sure its a massive insult but i really have no idea what >>>>>> means so  :shrug:

Besides i only single Serge out because he's the only member of Kasabian who i know the name off,i'm sure the rest of the band all own and wear skinny white trousers too :D Aside from the drummer who looks a bit chunky :wink:

> means greater than.

my comment on this would be that saying serge is better than johnny b is a bit like saying pissing yourself is better than shitting yourself.

I missed the deadline.

Luckily it's been extended though, wooooo!

I spent two hours doing this last night and now they've bloody well extended the deadline. cunts

has it? aceness. I'd forgotten
 
How long have we got until now?

Midnight on Monday..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6403457.stm

Got ours done on Tuesday and secured a workshop of 8 desktop PC's all with 8mb ADSL connections, phone lines and a couple of laptops hooked up to HSDPA to ensure we get booked.

Calm down Sussex Ultra

Sunday morning tickets are on sale 9am, going to be fucking painful with a dirty hangover.

Tell me about it. The old dear will be on fry-up duties to fuel me for a potentially stressful morning

they reckon you have about a 1/3 chance if everyone who registered trys on sunday.  Thats better odds than previous years

Agreed Spencer! Johnny B is a ladies naughty bits.

We had no problems at all in 2005 and that was after getting up half an hour late.

seetickets are supposed to be handling the whole shebang again so it’s worth bookmarking a few of their pages outside of the index on the off chance their site collapses.

Yep 2005 was easy if you were willing to get up and persevere for half an hour or so.

2004 was the nightmare year.

Unfortunately I had a bit of a mental sunday/monday when the deadline for pre-registration was extended so no glastonbury for ben this year.

Bit annoyed at myself but I'll get over it. I'll have to make up for it to myself somehow.

headliners confirmed as being the who, the killers, and the arctic monkeys.

presumably the the weren't available.

So aside from the who, who are 'the biggest band in the world' as promised.  Disappointed not to be going, but nothing I've really heard of on the bill has exactly got me that excited.

I suspect it's going to be the RHCPeppers.  

Not my cup of piss at all butyou can't go to far wrong with a wonder about.

how do i do that? ta

Just scroll round a few pages on the site and bookmark...

Unlikely to happen but always worth a go, just in case.

http://www.seetickets.com/see/index.asp

I would also appreciate some further clarification on this..
All I could think of was seeing if google had cached some background pages in preparation for the big event but alas, i found nothing..

Here you go....

http://www.seetickets.com/g2007/

Shit, didn't realise you can't buy tickets with a credit card.. it's unlikely I'm gonna have £616 sat in my account this Sunday. :evil:

Pay day for me so I'm laughing.  

Real pain though if you have to book a load of tickets one at a time with different cards.

Everything has crashed already... :|

is there a way around not being able to press F5 ?

Gay!

I want tickets

I am so fucked help me lord  :evil:

no luck so far here. blinding hangover.

Yep you know its gonna be worth it. Nice to be sorted earlyish tho

Yes, got me tickets. I'm gonna make a fry up to celebrate.

0870 165 2007

this is some kind of sick joke. let me have a ticket!

We've been trying all morning on PCs running Internet Explorer and getting nowhere and then changed computers and managed to get through 3 times on the same Apple Mac running Firefox.

right then i'm downloading firefox, not meant to on this comp but fuck it

this is a nightmare. firefox not doing any better

this is starting to take the piss, im not getting anywhere

too right. i'm giving it five more minutes i reckon

heard any reports on how many they've sold yet?

nope, had a look on the bbc news site but all they're reporting is that they went on sale so far

without wanting to sound dodgy, if anyone wants to give me their details i can order for them

thats me out. what a load of cunting shit.

i was thinking about this. are you a pillar of the community?

maybe not a pillar, but i promise not to rob you

actually, can't you pay by cheque? my number is 1129104 if you could manc! i'll buy you a couple of pints (sometime)

i dont think you can pay by cheque, theres no option for it

my mob is 078877XXXXX

i think im going to start looking into buying a ladder, the fence isn't that high

I didn;t get tickets, well pissed off.

Still a chance to get them but it's a bit of a lottery...



Once we got on once we were in every time.

Oxford Fan did you get a confirmation email?

yes thanks

anyone know where to download some kind of planner with all the acts/stages/times as in previous years? ta

take your wellies.gonna be a mud fest

nothing new then, last year (or year before) was horrendus

ive got a backstage vip pass.

im such a cunt :D

my little brother managed to get a ticket - on a coach. he has to get a bus to london just to get on a bus to go all the way back to glastonbury.

and he's taking his mate and his mate's girlfriend who is on crutches. could be fun.

My boyfriend has gone and left me. cunt chops!

left you in general or just for glastonbury?

 :soapy tit wank:

I always get a misty eyed about it around now.I had some ace times there and some not so ace times but I really couldnt be doing with camping these days :(

Glastonbury... im glad i chose not to go though given the weather... and i dont do camping either.

sounds like its going to be a muddy one, i went once and was lucky it was ok, think it would have been a bit shit knee deep in mud for 5 days.

Wellies are not sexy.

depends who's in them  :soapy tit wank:

Grrr and those wacky twats who decide its cool to get covered head to toe in mud .........wankers!!!

doesn't appeal, would just irritate me, enjoy the music and the atmosphere but not the mud.

And Mex's Sister and OCS stole our Micro Dots :mrgreen:

im innocent mlord :D

watching a bit of this on tele at the moment.

i must admit i do find a girl in wellies and a short skirt to be rather fetching.

Elaborate?

I think I'm the opposite...  the drugs and the mud appeal to me, but the music mostly doesn't...  :|

Lily Allen had a lovely pink dress and a pair of trainers on! Ned!

Editors are on in a little while.  8)

Kooks soon aswell. BBC3 is where it's at tonight  8)

http://www.getlippy.com/graphics/gallery/mossdoherty.jpg

although i must say i'm not a huge kate moss fan, you can see in this image how the wellies genuinely contribute to the look.

If you have interactive you can watch other bands instead of what BBC3 are showing. Maximo Park are very good as are Pigeon Detectives.

Indeed, until 7 ages of rock at 9.30 which tonight is about REM and Nirvana. I have seen most of the other ones so am compelled to watch.

It's been a pretty interesting series. I think next week's will be my favourite of the lot though.

Truck fest, now that is a good festival

What is next week? This week's was very harrowing!

Just caught the end of the seven ages prog with Cobain and REM. It looked damned good.

Just watched Weller at Glastonbury via the magic red button.

Guess what?

He was FUCKING ace - FACT!

Just watching The Killers live now.

Pretty good so far.

1 thing I noticed from the programme was that Nirvana's sound was largely based on The Pixies. I don't know any of their stuff, were they any good?

Colin Murray has played a couple of tracks by The Pixies on his Radio One show, they were pretty good aswell.

bloody hell,iggy pop is diobolical.terrible sound and stage invaded by loads of mongels

think they focused on teen spirit as the rip off, nirvana were massive fans of a band called the meat puppets at least kurt was.

i'm sure one hem appeared on the unplugged session.

nevermind does not date well, in utero is a far bettter album me feels which stands the test of time.

I didn't think I'd be bothered that I'm not there. I'm mega pissed off though. Curse my laziness on the registration thing.

Ditto.

I went to do it on the first day but because they said it doesnt matter when you register i put it off until eventually it was too late.

Pretty much the same with me. Oh well. I'm going to start a band, make it big and get invited to play. That way I'm definitely going next year.

 :soapy tit wank:  good idea.

Can you play bass?

No but i could always learn, if not i'll just do some mad Bez like dancing.

You could stand on stage slapping a seabass around. Would be a bit different.

ahahahaha sounds a bit too legendary for my liking.

Watch the Killers set last night and i thought it was really good. Funniest moment when Iggy fell over during his old set.

i will wee all over glastonbury by seeing sick of it all on a boat in bristol tonight.

it's gunna be fucking amazing. 20 years of new york hardcore

yes my wife chubbs is coming as well  :D

I am going to a festival in Luxembourg today and the Killers are headlining. Looking forward to it!

nirvana ripped off a few bands, some directly - i.e. killing joke - and some indirectly, such as pixies, meat puppets, vaselines etc.

not neccesarily a bad thing.

the pixies are fucking brilliant. get doolittle now.

meat puppets are worth checking out as well, get II.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2007/artists/lilyallen/photos/07.jpg

i really fancy her. is this wrong?

and kate jackson. this isn't wrong.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2007/artists/longblondes/photos/01.jpg

Lilly yes i agree

Kate jackson now that is wrong

I remember there being a big fuss that the riff in Smells Like Teen Spirit was a rip off of More Than a Feeling by Boston. Couldn't see it myself.

i had a very satisfying dream about lilly allen last night.

i have always preferred in utero to nevermind.

oh, and courtney did it.

Have been quite impressed by Glasto this year..mostly because a lot of the bands I like are playing I suppose!!!

>Fratellis were okay but I think they were better at the Oasis on Thursday, perhaps the enclosed venue was better for them?

>I like the Kooks but wasn't sure how they would do on the pyramid stage, they put on a good show though

>Wasn't much of an Arctic Monkeys fan but they were great on Friday night, tempted to give them another chance!

>Killers were really good too!

Looking forward to tonight with Kaiser Chiefs and The Who  8)

If only I could have been arsed to get tickets  :|

been watching the AM's set on catch-up and fuck me these boys are class. never realised how lyrically/poetically sophisticated they are compared to other iconic bands like oasis and stone roses etc (don;'t think it's going too far comparing them to these) and it really gives them an edge. will get better over years and they're only young...

wasn;t that bothered about not being there this year until i saw that set and got slightly gutted.

killers on the other hand, what a load of fucking old bollocks they are.

Artic Monkeys are fucking amazing!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2007/player/arcticmonkeys.shtml

 8)

I swear Luke from the kooks was pissed. Also Brandon Flowers suit pure aceness.

damn fucking right! they are better than a lot of people think....just try playing the songs. their set was good as well! i actually am starting to prefer the newer stuff by them now. not as same old and a bit darker! top stuff!  8)

the chords are different  :soapy tit wank: so how could they rip it off? its the rhythm that sounds the same. both good songs though  8)

As strood said, the lyrics are brilliant and most written when what 18 years old, thats fantastic.

Im not even into music but they are a different class

Going to go to manchester at the end of July and get a touted ticket at their manchester gig

just got back, fuckinhell i hate students nearly as much as mud.

a monkeys ace
killers shit
weller boring except last 4 songs
super furry animals amazing
brakes best of the festival by a long long way
pyramid and other stage pile of shit

lost vaugeness was where it was at. saw madness at half midnight last night. top bannana.

Any of your bands play?

nirvana still ripped off killing joke. they didn't even do it subtlely (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_as_You_Are_%28Nirvana_song%29#Killing_Joke_controversy).

killing joke - eighties (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zlf_17hecY)
nirvana - come as you are (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOL5cpwTkes)

enjoying the who,the marleys looking good too

Just got a bit freaked out by the clown on the chemical brothers set! Weird

i'll be up till 2 watching 8).could do with a kebab now but been on the pop and fuck walking to get one :cry:

oh god, doherty doing a duet with them is he :wink:

jo whiley is worth a portion,even though shes average at best.something nabout her makes her well fuckable

ha ha, that made me laugh

This clown was weird! I felt off my face watching it! Imagion being beaned up and watching oit live.  Crazy

I'm not watching because it will make me hate myself for not being there. Don't want to add me to my list.

Agreed, shes an older one but has something, she would be a filthy one too

lauren laverne is infinitely cooler than monotone whiley

yeah but she's blatantly worth a portion.whiley is a matter of choice

pinball wizard on now 8)

i'd prefer to fuck wiley (http://www.myspace.com/eskiboywiley) then jo whiley.

lauren is lush. where's yeovil when you need him?
http://www.judeedginton.com/images/pics%20portraits/Lauren%20Laverne.jpg

100% guarantee she's one dirty biatch too

Not only is Lauren Laverne fit but she's a Geordie which = highly in the dirty Slag stakes.  :P

I turned it on just in time to catch Seasick Steve last night. He's ace.  8)

Well that was ace...! 8)

the more further up north the more likely they are to be a slag  8)

who'd you see?

Amy Winehouse (both performances, she was gurning, mumbling rubbish (e.g. "Joe, bangers and mash" - to imaginary person at front of crowd) and was ace)
GusGus
Aim
Toumani Diabate & Symmetric Orchestra
Arcade Fire - hadn't listened to them previously but they were really good
Bjork - fuck fuck fuck. incredible. best live music i've ever seen.

Dirty Pretty Things - very average
Lily Allen - buff
K'Naan
Mr Hudson & The Library
Fat Freddy's Drop
Mr C
Andy C - the perfect representative for D&B, the crowd was massive and loved it, best set i've seen him do

Chemical Brothers - top banana

boy am i tired now, left about 3am but it took us 3hrs of walking around giant fields in the rain to find my car as i'd forgotten to note the car park area. camped near the stone circle (dragon field) which was lively.

Just got back about an hour ago fucking dying on my feet but what a fantastic trip even with that dirty, dirty weather.

All a bit hazy but from what I remember…

Amy Winebox – Agree fucked but brilliant all the same
Allen – Cracking set especially with the chaps from the Specials joining her on stage
Killers – Quality enough but the sound was shite
Kaisers – Perfect festival stuff
Kooks
Arctic Monkeys
Dirty Pretty Things – Meh here as well
Kasabian
Pigeon Detectives

Just got  call from the lads who travelled down in a car and they are still in the car park queue having set off in their car at 9am this morning!

I saw:

The View
Good Shoes
Tokyo Police Club
Cold Wat Kids
Killers
Arctic Monkeys
Bloc Party
Chemical Brothers
The Rakes
Get Cape.Wear Cape.Fly
Paul Weller
CSS
Klaxons
Manic Street Preachers
Dirty Pretty Things
Kaiser Chiefs

From the comfort of my tent i listened to:

The Holloways
The Enemy
The Long Blondes
BabyShambles
Super Furry Animals

I camped in Pennards again, but quite near the Park (on the crossroads with the annoying milk tractor)

What a weekend!

Ive had about 15 jobs tonight to send Recovery Trucks down there to pick up cars and vans.Ive refused them,to scared the trucks will get stuck in the mud.

it took me 10 mins to get out :D

That's because you apparently left early. Miss all the Sunday night "I don't want this to end" festivities?

too fucking right i left early, my pinstripes were losing their crease

Was fun getting out of the West Car parks. Every single car had to be pushed across one field (by tractors) just like curling stones.
Took us 90 mins to get out, monday morning, not too bad considering.

FWIW saw & ratings out of 10

Look See Proof- 6
Reverend & the Makers- 7
Amy Winehouse -7
Magic numbers -6
The Coral -5
Fratellis- 3
Kasabian- 5
Arctic Monkeys -4
(Sound was not good on the pyramid on Friday)
The Rushes-6
CCS -6
Klaxons -2
Paul weller -7
Kooks -7
Killers -8
Marley Bros -6
James Morrison -3
Shirley Bassey -8 (never a fan, but sheer class)
Manics-7
Kaisers- 9
Who -10

They're all minuses!!??!!

Fuck me that must have been bad!! :wink:

Minus is good  :old:

you should've ventured away from the Pyramid a bit more, Phil, line-up wasn't that good on there this year.

Went to the John Peel tent, a couple of times, & not dissapointed,  Went to the Other stage, and whilst CCS were shall we say very entertaining, thought the Klaxons were crap, (only because not my kinda music, one of the guys we were with reckoned they were great. But yes you're right about the pyramid .Friday in particular was not too impressive (my Opinion Only). Must say though that Sunday there was great, (but maybe I'm just showing my age).  
The most surprising acts for me were the Arctic Monkeys who were not very good (bit like Oasis were dissapointing a couple of years ago (imho), & Shirley Bassey, who I only saw, cos I couldn't be arsed to move. (too pissed by then), but I thought was great. (Some bloody good lungs for a 70 year old).

I just fucking hate hippies

Being a real oldie, I only watched bits on the telly, but I thought Shirley Bassey was brilliant, she had the audience in the palm of her hand!! AS you say for a 70 year old (and a bit more?) good lungs, and I would!!

Did anyone else find the extra number of people really sowed down moving between stages?

Amongst all of the mud and general state of people it’s never a quick move but we found it really congested even moving off the main routes and by the time we arrived at the next set it was already mid-way through.

Very few hippies there as well this year

aye, hardly saw ANY hippies.

It's moved on from the Hippy days... No more free love  :(  :(  :(
Difficult to tell with the extra numbers, but I think it was the conditions more than anything.

I should think the hippies have been put off by the fact Glasto is becoming a 4 day Radio 1 roadshow!!

we were stuck in the car park for 8 hours, did have tonnes of fun pushing peoples cars through the mud though.

mr scruff was ace also liked the editors, maximo park, the go team and the pidgeon detectives.

where was all the aid that im now reading about in the news i didnt get offered a free tent, blanket or anything :(

I just hate fucking hippies

Just look at the ticket prices, no self-respecting hippie can afford that on his dole money - and buy his necessary!!!

Redgewell's right - it's not worth the risk.

 :soapy tit wank:

gone are the days when the hippies would ring up a week after the tickets went on sale and get a ticket, they need a PC and internet now, which they don't have which has put them all out of the market. i personally would love to see more hippies at glastonbury, that's what it's all about! i've been the last 5 times now and it's getting more and more commercialised.............. i still love it though!!

That's because the hippies are being overhauled by something far more annoying... the snobby, spoilt scenesters who swan around the festival with their 'look at me, aren't I "fab"' persona.

Much as I would have loved to be at Glasto watching it on the telly seeing all the 'indie kids' in their skinny jeans wanting to be kate moss or Pete docherty made me mad, and I couldn;t help feeling if I wanted to hang out with a load of pricks from public schools I'd have gone back to uni.
