Tickets on sale Sunday 9AM  :shock:, likely to sell out in a couple of hours.

Anyone going?

Rounded up 5 confirmed with a possible 5 more due to decide over the weekend.

Going to be a bastard to get up that early Sunday with stinking hangover, may not go to bed.  On top of that just to make it even worse it's a max of 2 tickets each with holders named on each.

Anyway hoping to rent a motorhome anyone got any suggestions where to get one on the cheap?

I went but every knicks your stuff even our tent got nicked so I wont go again :evil:  :surrender

tis true ,army of scallies on the rob last time I went.Mind you a black guy gave me an 1/8th for a packet of Rizla as well so cant complain.

When did you go Yeovil?

Been reading the guide and apparently "the wall" is supposed to keep out a lot of the army of Rob.

Sounds even better than I had thought almost Full moon party atmosphere, cannot wait.

Tickets can take hours to get though so I'm not looking forward to that one.

Years ago Daz, been a few times at a guess id say some time between 89-96 I think i ve been 4 times  but that may be wrong it could be 3 .The memory is shot.Its top fun just take nothing you want to keep,its probably less full of scallies these days because the security is much tighter getting in.

I don't fancy my chances of getting a ticket this year, got an hour and a half of intensive calling before I've gotta be at work!
Went in '99 and '00 when you could gather a big group of mates and all get tickets together.. these days you're lucky if you know someone else with a ticket. Shame really, it's a fucking good laugh!

I'll be going hopefully. Me & the Mrs and 2 other couples have shown interest, remains to be seen if they can haul their arses out of bed though.

Having man-flu this week might be something of a blessing for me, for the first sunday in ages I'm not gonna be hungover.

We're going to go next year, no one got sorted out in time this year. Pissed off with that because this could be the best year musically for ages.

:ha  

 Think you might have the place to yourself then.  take some instruments and have your own free festival.

Oh yeh forgot that. In 2007 then  8)

Although that latter is an intruiging suggestion

who are playing Glasto this year?

I'm going to Reading.

http://www.gorge.org/glastonbury/#conf

just about everyone i've spoken to in the past 2 weeks is going to try and get tickets. me too.

I have reading the old official Glasto forums and last year it took some people over 24hrs of calling and refreshing on the web page to get anything.

Don't know if I will have the patience but having read some of the stories and the like it's a must do.

Scrapped the camper idea as you are outside the gates, have a trek every morning to get in, queue at the gates and the place by all accounts can be a tad souless.  Camping it is then.

Going to have a long shot at getting one of the trailers at http://www.lostvagueness.com/  looks very mad but would be a quality place to stay.

i have 3 mobiles, my house phone and tinternet lined up ready to go at 0850 hours. mobiles set to automatic redial. i'd better fucking get a ticket.

I am in position... 9 intrnet ready PC's as we speak.

I cant compete with that kind of technology! just me, t'interweb, house phone and mobile and a healthy supply of ciggarettes

I am in work... that is how desperate i am... I wonder if i could claim Overtime?

fucking hell Dave!

I'd claim it :wink:  you were doing emercency work on the servers or something, right? :D

Any luck yet? Aloud.com seems to have crasched now and teh phone is predictably engaged.

WOOHOO! just booked mine on tinternet

:twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

fucking lucky oxford bastard :wink:

and you can go back to bed now

i placed the order whilst lying in my bed, hactually  :wink: at about 3am last night i set up my laptop in my room so we now have one of those extension cables running down the stairs.

i was just thinking i bet some cunt has rigged up a fake site or summat and i wont really get tickets. it says confirmation emails can take 4 hours to arrive.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/ben3085/getin.jpg

Davie B is going to a muddy field!!! 10 minutes it took, ba da ba ba baaaa, i'm loving it.

Get in.

on phone or tinternet dave?

t'interweb. Oh happy day.

please tell me you got the same page as me, shown above?

i most certainly did!!!  I might join you for a schmoke...

why wont it work for me??????

i'm going to cry :cry:

Don't cry Monte, it'll work.

i'm not celebrating properly until i get my confirmation email, it seemed all too easy.

one consolation at the moment: Aloud.com making me think of girls aloud whcih in turn is making me think of the filthy geordie bitch Cheryl Tweedy.

Time for a wank to pass the time methinks  :shock:  :D

I still havnt got any fucking tickets.

shit like this always happens to me :cry:

Get In!

after an hour and a half of trying me and the Mrs are off to glastonbury!

 :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

well done mate. online allocation now sold out.

i think i may have clicked on the family ticket link. my confirmation said 1 adult though, i fucking hope to god i got it. no confirmation yet.....

That was surprisingly easy enough.

Woke up Electrickery had gone, then then Tinternet wouldn't boot up.

Booked the 6 straight off, still just got to wait on email to confirm!

Just slightly concerned we had to stick 2 lots on one card, didn't refuse it mind and I can't see them knocking it back as it's all different names.

Just ordered my free cit card as well, apparently ID may have to have address on it.

definitely. a sure-fire way to stop the cunts who have absolutely no interest in attending but buy as many tickets as possible to rip off everyone on ebay.

Oh come on, my mate does that. Nice little money spinner.

pure cuntish though.

i'm normally well up for a quick buck, but wouldn't go that far.

They will accept passports but advise against it, which doesn't have any address on.

That said I suppose if you have a passport you have gone through a load of checks and verification anyway.

Take it everyone’s camping?

Scrapped the motor home idea off the field is outside the gates and you have a massive trek and queue to get in every morning, that and the atmosphere is supposed to be nowhere near as good as the camping bit

Going to arrive Wednesday as well apparently there is shed loads going on and Weds/Thurs can sometimes be the best nights for non-music shenanigans.  That and you get prime pick of tent spot.

Wimp  :face

i'll take me driving license as ID.

got to be camping.

What's on the essentials list then?

I have....

Penlight
Vodka
Smokes
Rizzlas
lighters
Fire lighters

Anybody have any luck? got through on the website what must have been pretty soon before it sold out. Still waiting for my confirmation email though, 4 hours my arse

oops havn't been on the forum for ages and just realised I'd only read page 1 of the topic. I ain't a retard much

Still no email here either.

Feel a lot better when it arrives.

YES! got confirmation.

on top of dazzas list:

firewood
flag
novelty costumes
some kind of awning
http://shop1.hooverfence.net/portable-shelters/img/arch-roof-canopy.jpg
bog roll
water vessel
wellies
cash (no queuing for atm's)
connies
drugs
grammaphone

Firewood supplied in the fields but gets nicked quite quickly apparently.

Spot on about the cash, herd nightmare stories about the ATMs and the free phone charger place.

Think a spare battery for the mobile is in order.

I'm getting itchy now where's that god damn email...

i ordered at 9.15ish so extrapolate from there as to when you should get your confirmation. arrived at 12.35.

just keep the phone off most of the time, you won't be carrying it anyhoo probably.

Think I was about 10, so that's not to bad then.

What day are you going down?

either wednesday or the thursday. bought a car parking ticket but am considering train now.

and yow?

how would you know i got your ticket!!
got the confirmation email through aswell yeehaa!!
oh lay oh lay oh lay oh lay glastonbury bry bry

Down Wednesday early afternoon.  We where going to minibus it in but I think it's a train and coach jobbie.

Where's my fooking :(  email....

it's a definite wednesday jobbie, you need to soak up some atmosphere of the place and also get a good tent spot!

does anyone know if faithless are confirmed?

It's been rumoured but there's no suggestion that they will be there.

The Undertones are confirmed though  8)

Are you coming along Dave and can I touch you?

Still no email......

Starting to stress

my mate booked his about 10.30 on the webathon and hasn't had anything yet either.

Think they must be a bit slack none of us have anything yet.

Tried to call but don't think I will get through anytime soon.

Ha, Dazzza's been had

No, I'm going to Reading btw

I got mine about 11 ish and still no email. any one else got news on that?

Still no email although I think I must have been pretty close to Gzero when I got ticket so gonna be near end of email list, you all got your yet or have I been done by a random computer thing, or a freak mispelling of email twice?...

Dazza and Piemonte I still don't have an email.. I got through late, but I'm still worrying about the ease of it all. But If it's all gone tits up and I don't get to go then I will give you bits of advice at some point. Not that I'm a major goer, but twice in recent years and it's changed a bit since yoevil red wasn'nt an oap.

Camp wise it's not about the massive campidge area, theres fuck all chance you will find you tent for a start. If you get there wed then you have to camp on the field opposite the pyramid stage. But don't do the amatuer near the toilets or near a main path cos it's not worth the effort. Well thats ben's wisdom from 2 glasto's, I'm sure there are people on tte.com who have been to more but I hope my         glimpses of wisdom will help people out anyway. Oh yeah If your by your self... Small tent, easier to keep warm. good sleeping bag helps as well.

When I used to go, in the 70's and 80's. it was a case of turn up on the day, take as little as possible other than a sleeping bag and some cash.....bump into someone you knew who might have a tent.....I recall a happy chance when it was 4 birds, get wrecked  and hitch back to Swindon.

:( Poor Flamable.

Answer him you sods..........

I'm slightly concerned now........ still no confirmation email :evil:

Sorry been passed out.

No email yet Flammable for me or two ther mates with bookings so I don't think it's stress time.

I thought that in the excitment of connecting and still being pissed that I may have mispelt my email address but it just sounds like they are slack as fuck the bastards.

Think there will be enough of us to form a circle of tents than have a fire in the middle. 8)

Finally arrived \o/

I got my confirmation through at 10 ish last night, which was a bit of a relief.

Like Dazzza I was getting a bit paranoid that I'd put the wrong wmail address in or mis-typed my debit card details

Holiday all booked off ok! Woohoo!!! 8)

Well, I've ordered a ticket and got an e-mail confirmation, so it looks like I'm going.  

First time for me, really looking forward to it.

Nice one Tom, I wonder if Flammable got his in the end.

Anyone have any idea of spending requirements?

Herd the cash points are a nightmare so will take a stash of cash, £50 a day should cover it?

likewise first time for me too. Ive not been to any music festivals to be honest which is a pretty poor show for a 26 year old thats been into decent music since he was 14 :oops:

Depends (and bear in mind I went ages ago) food and beer there are expensive as fuck.So if you take plenty of Booze/Drugs/Food you will be ok.Obviously you will only need 2 out of those 3 things as who needs food if they have drugs?

I generally need a lot more food when I have drugs.  :?

Good point!

Perhaps I should have specified class A 's

My recall is of locals selling scrumpy off the back of tractors and trailers, at quite reasonable prices.....in big plastic containers....keep recycling these for a few days and you don't particularly need drugs.

I recall having some Scrumpy from a Scrumpy Bus.It put pay to my plan of not having a poo for 5 days .

£50 a day is about right, daz. like yeovil says, depends on what food/drugs/drink you bring in with you though.

i'm probably going to bring all my own drugs and drink, then buy food when needs be. i'll take about £250 cash.

line-up has been leaked:

Cannot wait.

How accurate is that OF?

according to emily eavis, not very. but then they would say that.

as you can see, some people have 2 slots and some are tbc so it's still pretty rough i think, but the most accurate yet.

So we have Keane, New Order, Coldplay on the Pyramid on Sat night,  while on the Other stage Kasabian and Razorlight are to play.

How am I gonna see all of them?!?!??

John Butler Trio - Fucking awesome, didn't know he was gonna be there! shame i haven't got a ticket  :oops:

You will all end up blowing the bands out anyway.Dazzza will be running naked in the Hippy field trying to grope some sagging Granny tits,I know that for sure.

too true.

i missed mr manuva last year at reading, but i don't know why  :?

Reading and Glastonbury dont compare,Glastonbury is 24 hour(well it was the licence may be a bit tighter now) and about 100 times more fun.

reading last year, my only festival experience, was 24 hour too. think they're much of a muchness nowadays to be honest, that extra special bit of hippie magic to them has long passed i feel (in the past 5 or so years).

trouble is i generally passed out about 3ish  :?

Your probably right.

Actually your wrong, it is more fun.I almost wish I was going.

oh yeah, it's still fucking awesome fun but, even though i've never been lucky enough to experience it, it's probably still lost some of that intial, early-stages impromptuness.

who can argue with 112,000 people getting fucked off thier faces together in a mass of countryside!? whilst listening to top live music and other strange stuff.

I keep reading about the stone or magic circle being the place to be in an evening, anyone ever herd of it.

People talk about it as if it where legendary.

Hippy bollocks but it is a must do.

the stone circle feild is at the top of the valley and it overlooks the whole festival site, it gets pretty crowded and the best time to be there is dawn, full of student fuckin hippy wannabees playing the cunting diggeredoo, take a blade and you will make a fortune 8)

Old thread dig up but is anyone off to Glasto this week?

Got all the gear ready and praying the weather holds out.  Early indications look ok(ish)  but certainly not counting chickens in that respect.

Not much to twitch the trouser tent in terms of line-up but I'm hoping the poor ticket sales and lack of 'big names' should make for a different experience this year and less of a squeeze mooching about.

I'll have to remember Mex's advice this year and take a blade to slash a few hippies (if there's any left) up at the Stone Circle.

i am, i've got tomorrow left to buy stuff before heading off with mclovin and crew  8)

Nice one Bennett any acts you're wanting to catch in particular?

If you're as lazy as some of my lot are then you can order all your gear from Joe Bananas online and pick it up on site from 8am Wednesday.

http://www.joe-bananas.com/

Last day today though I think.

meh i've got a tent, just need to make sure it's water tight and i can carry it  :D

the only acts i want to see are unkle and massive attack...who appear to be on at the same time  :evil:

Looked at the line up the other day and i'm not suprised they struggled to sell tickets as fast as they normally do.

...yeah fucking James Blunt,Will Young and the hideous Hoosiers.

It's much more than the line-up though... it's a great 5 days

Valid point but it's obviously not the case for many, many people.

My missus' dad went to the first Pilton Pop Festival and they gave out a free pint of milk  :D

First ever band to play Glastonbury? Stackridge (from the back of a truck)

http://www.bristolrock.co.uk/FamousBristolMusos/Stackridge/Stackridge.jpg

Pete Townsend did an acoustic set too.

I love Stackridge-Marzo Plod,Dora the female explorer,Syracuse the Elephant....ahhh,schooldays

They're playing in Newcastle in October - I've been told I'm going, should be a laugh.

...but despite this, there are still far, far more people going to Glastonbury than any other festival.

Some people go to Glastonbury just because it's Glastonbury. But it's still a shit headline.

Jay-Zzzzzzzzzz can fuck right off, terrible line up this year, not only that crack dealing bastard but The Kings of Leon not a bad band but still a bunch of queers not fit ti ehadline Glasto.

And The Verve, again used to be a great band, bu I saw them last winter on their return and they were dredfull the old magic wasn't there.

Unkle are about the only act I would now go out and pay to see, I have no interest in any of the other acts.

i have been to glastonbury maybe 20 times and i think in all that time i have only seen about 10-15 acts on the main stages, i think most people complaining about the line up have never been, its a FESTIVAL, its nothing like reading or V, its an event not a gig, who gives a fuck who is on the main stages

whats fucking wrong with you all, most of you are young, get in your fucking cars or hitch or get a train bunk the fence and go and take some acid saturday night then see if you give a fuck about jay z.

it's all a bit coreprat now  - I blame mobile phones

have you seen them before?

they're certainly not queers, have boffed loads of women. top band too, one of the few worth seeing there.

Funny that Glasto was originally an alternative to the commercial festivals taking place in late 60's/70's and now it turned into the mother of commercial events.

In 1992 it cost £49 to get in, now it's over £150, even though double the number of people will attend.  Absolute money spinner.

Maybe someone needs to set up an alternative to this BBC music festival.

£160 a ticket x 100,000 people = a lot of money!

I think it's around 150,000 that go these days Sammo, which means huge gate receipts.

£24,000,000. Jesus wept. I'm off to buy a field somewhere.

I bet it cost 20 million to put it on.

Shakin’ Stevens won't have been cheap.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN!!

it costs that amount of money but theres fucking loads of stuff going on, the festival site is the size of the city of Bath for christs sake. well worth every penny.

Mex is right it's ace. And it's definitely about wandering about and chilling away from the main stage. In fact away from the main 5 stages.

I think they give a hefty chunk to charities and stuff.

yay Kate Nash opens it :)

i'm with mex too.who gives a fuck who is playing there?
its more about getting off your faces for a few days with mates and having a laugh.

people I know sometimes never move from the tent

You can tell who the moaners are can't you?

Regardless of who's playing the mainstage, the dance tents/arenas are always fantastic. Good times are almost guaranteed to be had.

I wish I had gone now.

I am a boring - I don't take drugs and don't really drink that much and really don't care for doing anything other than watching live music whilst attending festivals.

There are plenty of bands on the Glastonbury bill (big acts and small) that I'd happily see - I guess my point is that for all the might and mystique of Eavisfest I find the line-up disappointing and that is reflected by the fact that they couldn't sell it out in quick time (that'll probably benefit those going).

But I agree with all the comments about people moaning for the sake of moaning.

Oh and nothing can be worse than what the Reading Festival has become - full of posh kids celebrating finished their GCSE's and general whacky funsters.

 My kid did that, but he's not posh.  Had I known, I wouldn't have let him go  8)

I'm going to Womad and Cropredy - bring on the Dengue fever and Shane McGowan and then the Stackridge and Supergrass
I might have a cider or two as well

i'm going to global and will be taking pills aplenty  8)

im going to mighty boosh and neil young at hop farm next weekend and greenman and possibly end of the road.

Nope - check the line-up this year, there is an alarming lack of diversity. I spent the last two mainly around the dance area, but there's little on this time. It really does look quite poor.

its not just Glasto thats poor this year ... festival line ups seem a bit uninspiring .. a bit like music world in general this year - I blame the credit crunch

:?

bestival has got just about everyone under the sun, i would have liked to go there.

There is loads of little festivals springing up everywhere, Im doing the Surf's Up Festival, Newquay in August, but then again, I am playing there!! :D

having looked at the line up on the bbc website.looks alright to me.plenty of decent acts on offer

I've got a vague memory that The Go! Team are playing that. I loves The Go! Team.

I know what you mean - even Westbury has a small festival this year including Babyshambles and the Australian Pink Floyd (the latter are quite good)

Green Man Festival looks absolutely superb this year. I have to decide between that and Cheltenham away.

super furries beats the nam away

Some good festival pics here

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/interactive/2008/jun/29/glastonbury.culturaltrips

duffy looked georgeous.and there is something about kt tunstall that does it for me.the ting tings looked ace too.

Ive not really watched much of it,I watched Winehouse and Jay Z.I enjoyed both suprisingly :o

and the Verve

Ashcroft is special 8)

Saw a bit of Kings of Leon earlier they were good.

Winehouse was fucking awful, although she can throw a good right hook.  :?

yay i have de smelled myself to an extent, shame i could sleep through fuck knows what happening outside my tent but my dad starting the car this morning woke me  :x

in short- jay z put on an ace show, the verve are amazing still, the enemy are absolutely class live, seasick steve is superb.

eeeeeeeey, seasick steve is awesome :)

I sincerly hope Jay-Z's private jet crashes crossing the Atlantic.

Admit it Noel, he put on a good performance and he even vaguely sang along to 'Wonderwall'  :mrgreen:

I'm not in the slightest a fan of hip-hop, but I must admit to watching Jay-Z's set on Saturday night and quite enjoyed it.

Watched some Kings of Leon as well and they were pretty ace. Saw a bit off The Enemy on BBCi, thought they were ok.

Might have to watch The Verve later on t'internet because I missed their set.

Jay Z wasn't particularly good.(IMHO). Most of the crowd were just intent on having a good time despite him being on stage & were only there to see what all the fuss was about.
The Verve were awesome, best set of the festival by a mile & second only to Roger Walters a few years back.
Amy Winehose was visibly falling apart.
Subways were excellent as was Duffy who looked stunning. Wanted to see the Ting Tings, but couldn't get near it so only heard them.
The best night for me tho' was Friday, when we just wandered about the site looking in on the smaller stages, meeting all types in all sorts of weird & wonderfull places & just taking in the wonderful vibe of the place.

The Verve were good. Really enjoyed their set. New single is sounding very good as well  :D

Watched bits and pieces on BBC, didn't see The Verve but they were great in Luxembourg last week, my favourite set was probably Elbow from what I saw.

Yeah-Verve were the pick for me.Ashcroft is yer archetypal rock star.

Jay-Z was mint, Jigga does it again

Innit  :soapy tit wank:

Just watching Jay-Z on iplayer.

Incidentally iplayer goes up to 11.

He's talking to Westwood

"This aint my fresh, this is my pre-fresh"

What's the big deal about Jay-Z playing? Didn't 50cent play at glastonbury a few years ago? I'm sure I didn't go to listen to him.

50 cent was at Reading no?

Jay-Z opened his set with Wonderwall. Nice touch.

meh I'm sure someone rappy played the pyramid stage one year. Meh I don't remember so good anyway.

I was almost certainly thinking of the Black Eyed Peas.

ive seen umpteen hip hop bands play the pyramid, de la soul and boo ya tribe come to mind.

de la soul are ace. Factywacty.

i'd never really listened to jay-z before and i'm not a fan of hip-hop but i thought it was an awesome show

shizzle my nizzle

i missed the Jay-Z set as i fell asleep just before he was about to go on.

Hardcore.

i was tired and unwell.

Poor Scot  :(

Verivorst was a bad choice.

Was Beyonce there??

Yes she was....flew in at the last min,as shes making a film at present.....she seemed to enjoy it.

Yes, it looked like she was having a fit.

wow Beyonce is ace and skill - I wish they would just admit they are married - everyone knows so whats the point of pretending your not???

verve set was epic. drugs dont work brought a tear to my japs eye.



the whole event lacked the arctic monkeys though. and my mrs says dizzee rascal was suprisingly her highlight.

 Agree re Verve, Artics were flat last year (IMHO)

Flat due to the sound being shit?

That certainly didn't help, & they didn't have the experience/ presence to deal with it. Some acts did deal with it.

Sound was ceratinly much improved this year at  the Pyramid (Except when windy & half way through Neil Diamond  :soapy tit wank: ), but needed improving at the Other stage.

What a fucking great time.  :beers:

Highlights had to be the Enemy and the Verve closing on the Sunday night.  Fucking class.

Everything we managed to see was superb.  Even old Doherty was class up at the Park.

I can still taste Brother’s Hot & Spicy Cider.

I say this every year but i will be going next year, pissed off that i was skint when the tickets went on sale this year.  :(

I'm so glad I went. The usual  gang I go with didn't all go cos they didn't like the line up, but I found plenty of good stuff I liked.
It's a 5 day long party with thousands getting trashed & virtually nil violence or hassle. Sure their were 130 arrests for theft & the like, but how many arrests would you expect over 5 days of 140,000 (A town about the size of Swindon) getting smashed.  Even the cops joined in, I saw 3 on horses wearing those frilly pink balerina type skirts & a yellow sunflower in their helmets !

http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/

Loads of sets to watch here.

I am currently watching Band Of Horses, in case you were wondering.

I had an awesome time. Nice to have a sunny one, it makes it far less tiring...

My burnt shins are a sight to behold.

I'm thinking about going as part of my Stag festivities, not sure if that's the done thing though - but who cares?

Anybody suffering from post-glasto depression? I used to always get that. Well after the relief of a brilliant nice shower anyway.

Not really so much because i moved house the day after, so I went from one high to another. I know what you mean though, and the more time i spend at work looking at the weekend gone by in pictures, I feel a little sad.

It was my first glasto, and i will definetly be going next year.
There's just so much to do.

There were a few stag parties there that I saw. The problem I would see for most years is ticket availability.  Not a problem this year but would have been in previous years & I suspect next year.

Big time.  Probably last night was the worst as I was travelling home most of Monday and had the feel good shower and food factor to take the edge off.

The past couple 05 and 07 weren’t to bad on the come down as the whole site was a shit state of affairs (literally in some parts) and after a few days up to your shins in stinking filth as the Verve sang not even the drugs don’t work!  All in all though I was ready to come home from those two but given the weather this year I could have done another week.

That said I’m not too bad today.  Back at work and keeping bust and off to watch Big Willie’s latest flick tonight at the cinema.

I think it’ll be a battle for tickets once again as they look to be going back to more traditional headliners and I think a lot of people that stayed away having seen the footage now regret it.

Out of interest did anyone else use the Orange Glasto Nav application?

 I read about that....fuck me it's a modern world.  

  I always thought we were given a kind of homing instinct at birth, that however out of the head you get, you can always find your way back to what is even a temporary home.

Did it work. Like could you home in on where your mates were. We stuck to a pirates flag.

It wasn't quite as good as a fucking great flag but it was useful to see the line ups on different stages and you could send your mate a location on the map to get to, which is quite handy.

The news also included all of the secret gigs.  It's a cracking application, very simple to use and effective at the same time.

What were the secret gigs this year. I didn't get to see any & missed Madness last year too so if this would give us that it's worth getting next time

Franz Ferdinand at the Park I think.  A couple of bands again a bit hazy played the chill and charge butt hey were already on the bill.

To be honest you didn't miss much this year but worth having for next year.

We saw them after Edwyn Collins..that guy can sing!!

Last Shaddow Puppets were a special guest on the Park. I cought them and thought they were terrible live, so i left, and missed a special appearance by Jack White with them!

Rascals were good, courteeners also. Did anyone catch the levellers on wednesday..glasto legends apparently. Didn't rate them much though, i just went to trash city..now that's messed up.
