Do you know exactly why you've been excluded scumba?
Is Liz Elliott being made to cut back further on Green Fields stall allocations?
We've just had an email saying it was a mistake, so we're still in with a chance!

Presumably they're going to cycle to their October tour dates in Japan, then, straight after they rollerskate round the US.
Where are they keeping the second set?

No we're definitely not going. I'm not so mad with Glasto as I am with Tom Yorke, that prat from Coldplay and all the other bands who brag about green credentials which really make no sense whatsoever
Sounds good to me. I found all that Burlesque stuff tiresome.
They are also claiming it will be over 40 acres. Not sure that can be true (5% of festival space?), but it does sound like it will be larger - possibly due to the relocation + annexing of Trash City into the old Tipi field.
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

This is what i'm not liking about Glastonbury this year. I can't believe the tipi field is moving. For me it's the heart of the festival.
I'm sure Trash City will be nice an' all, but surely there were other places that it could have gone rather than the tipi field. I had one fantastic Glastonbury where i didn't leave it all weekend...

Oh I dunno. Could look nice in the Sacred Space? Imagine looking down from the Stones... (assuming the Tipis will be near the bottom).
I am not sure I like all the change Glastonbury has had over the years. I still go to it and have a very good time but if it isn't broke - don't fix it. Still going to give it a go and have a good time no doubt but I get worried when I hear things about the tipi field moving and LV being replaced.
but LV wasn't a Glastonbury fixture, it was a passing phase. There was a time before LV, there will be a time after.
It's been around almost 40 years, in that time it's seen a few changes. I can't see why the loss of LV is such a worry, it was fucking shite last year anyway

I'm sure it will look nice...however
The tipi field has always been a nice quiet place to go at nights. I can't see that the people living in the tipis would be too happy being moved to one of the busiest night time places on site.

& as for the Bimble Inn moving to the Park & therefore no doubt filled with Babyshambles fans

always? once upon a time the tipis were just mixed in with the rest of us. I can't remember when they got their own special, rather elitist, field nor when they went into the tourism business- 'stay in an authentic tipi for the festival, just sign here', but it's not that long ago.
Are they really relocating to the stones field?
that'll be the beginning of the end of one of the nicest spaces, special because there are no vehicles and no-one camps there. Once the elite and the tourists they farm have moved in it'll lose that. Why can't they go to Pennards or Park Home or somewhere?Lost vagueness aren't at Glasto this year for a number of reasons one of which being the fact that it really was a bit shite last year, another being the fact that Madness was a badly kept secret and the place got rammed with pissed off punters on saturday, not least though they closed for a part of saturday night in a huff because Astro cafe were camped in the dragon field and they threw a strop and closed everything for a while when they were told that astro cafe were allowed to stay as they were friends with one of michaels grand daughters who I was camped with and worked with painting bins.
The fact was that Brian and the astro lot weren't even selling anything really they just had a bit of a set up there with a coconut shy getting wankered and having a laugh with mates. I should know I was next to them.
Anything as stylised as Lost vagueness is bound to lose its edge after a little while they just took their eye off the ball imo and got a bit big for their boots with the strike. They were always gonna put a bit of a spin on them leaving and Im sure they'll go on to do other things with the brand, but it was tired last year.

Well maybe not always, but they have had their own field for a long time...

Its sunny somewhere.
Totally.
No loss to their money grabbing self aggrandising attitude either.
To give credit where credit was due, they were good in 2002. Unfortunately they did fuck all ever since. I couldn't understand that , they didn't seem to lift a finger to evolve the concept.
Mutoid waste was a breath of fresh air, even though they were charging to get in to the bar.

Seeing as its a 135k festival, are they going to get much more than that I wonder?

I wonder if they got too far in front of themselves and never considered that it might not get the required number of registrations?
I'm also considering the near constant rain and mud has has an effect on the numbers. Last proper scorcher was in 2000.
I have to admit I was wavering but I decided round xmas I was going to buy a ticket and throw the ticket away and not go if its going to piss down. I love it but I also know one thing. I truly cannot be fucked to struggle through a cold, wet, muddy , pissed off punters, pissed off stall holders, covered in shit Glastonbury.
It going to have to be dry or I will not be going.

100,000 registered in the last 4 days before registrations were initially due to close last year. I'd be amazed if the same thing doesn't happen this year. Bloody hippies always leaving it til the last moment.
It's advertising, it keeps people informed. Better than just leaving it to the internet/NME etc to tell people how to get a ticket.
