Solo Strike Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 If so have you gone through the registration system yet? I need to do it, I don't want to keep forgetting then run out of time... Surely AFX is due a performance this year, it's been years since he's played at Glasto. I remember 2004 he did a no-show which I was most annoyed about, no announcement he'd pulled out, just some soul/funk band taking the stage instead. I heard a rumour he had fallen in the mud and thrown a hissy fit about playing, probably bollocks but it's an amusing thought! Glastonbury is always a good vibe anyway, I always enjoy myself when I go. Not quite as good as Glade mind, some of the scheduling leaves a lot to be desired (remember one year they stuck Bonobo on at 2am on the Glade stage, doh!). I would recommend avoiding the Pyramid Stage like fuck, too many middle-age, middle-class wankers with deckchairs bopping along to Jools Holland!

Guest Grizz Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Have they announced any acts yet? I wanted to go for the first time but all my friends have decided that the fest option this year is the Big Chill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a right pisstake that, we were at the front hanging around for ages thinking maybe he'd just been delayed or something. I dunno that it was him that fell in the mud as such, I think he'd seen his arse about something and decided to not bother... I've not preregistered and I'm not going to. Will hopefully get in to work there again and if not I'm not bothering...I can only afford one festival this year and that's going to be Glade. Grizz - up to now they've announced the following: The Who, Arctic Monkeys, Bjork, Mika, Lily Allen, and some other rumours are flying around. Nothing to get excited about at the minute though really - imo of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love bjork and Id love to see her live, but in a smallish indoors venue I really dont think you'd get all the effect with a slightly dodgy outdoor system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b born droid Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 It's a fucking joke that you've got to register just to even have a chance of getting a ticket. i might do this....i dunno. there's always decent bands playing somewhere at Glasto. EDIT: Saying that I'm gonna register just because there's rumours of The Police and/or Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yes I'm going. Kind of hoping for some good "dance" acts to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Promo Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Have they announced any acts yet? I wanted to go for the first time but all my friends have decided that the fest option this year is the Big Chill Big Chill's line ups seem to kinda suck. I'd say they have a handful of reasonable artists at best at each festival. There was a time when the Big Chill put on pretty sick parties with good line ups. I'm not sure who is running it now but they definitely aren't into different shit from when it originated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grizz Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The line up for Big Chill was brilliant last year! I'm hoping for a better line up this year. I have some friends that live next to one of Coldcut so we may be trying to blag as much as possible too as they're always there whether performing or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 A quick update to say Bjork, Bong-Ra and Shitmat are playing! At last some breakcore at Glastonbury, it's going to be ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sub sub Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 lineup is very top heavy with most of the good acts clashing on fri night. Can't see too many other interesting acts for the rest of the weekend that I know of. Any recommendations from peeps going this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Strike Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 I feel very positive at the moment, where I live the sun is shining and all is dry! I don't think it's gonna be awful but I fully expect a few showers. I'd rather it was sunny, but fuck it, it's my birthday and Glastonbury - I'll be too screwed to care!

stripeyhat Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Doesn't look too promising according to this metcheck forecast! I'm sure you'll be fine though, they've done loads to improve drainage since 05 which was just bloody horrible... Have a top time anyway - wish I was going back :unhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
