swannymere Posted 7 September, 2010 Share Posted 7 September, 2010 Howdy, any gossip yet? I may not be going to this one which i'm gutted about as it would be my 11th. Glastonbury. I'm starting to feel my age and the whole camping for over a week is getting old (even in a caravan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 7 September, 2010 Share Posted 7 September, 2010 I could never contemplate not going to Glasto, it'd be like not having a christmas. Eavo has already booked the 3 headliners, 2 are supposedly British bands that have headlined before (most probably Radiohead and Coldplay), and one is a female solo artist who hasn't headlined but has 'been', which could mean that she's played but not headlined or just come to the festival. That leads people to think it will either be Lady Gaga (played Other Stage in 2009), Kylie (was due to headline in 2005 but had to pull out due to cancer, played this year with Scissor Sisters) or Beyonce (who came with her husband Jay-Z when he headlined in 08). Eavis did say that he'd love Beyonce to play at the time, so she's probably the most likely choice in my eyes, especially as the hint was worded so carefully. There's also rumour that U2 are playing as they have left a big Glasto-sized gap in their rescheduled tour dates for next year. Aside from that, nothing much going around at the moment, although tickets can be purchased from October 3rd, so we will probably have more hints by then.

dubai_phil Posted 3 October, 2010 Share Posted 3 October, 2010 Ouch. Man did I feel bad today (after I stopped laughing) being overseas have always had trouble getting through on the day tickets go on sale, so my buddy said he'd do it for me. He got into the queuing system, went through the whole process of typing in the details for the GF & me then instead of adding his details he pressed the complete transaction button, forgetting to add his & his wife's details. Got back into the queue again to be told Sold Out 4 hours and we're going & he is down to pot luck again in April Lol in many ways but feel really really bad for him and it also fecks up our whole campervan plan Anyone else get through?

dubai_phil Posted 8 October, 2010 Share Posted 8 October, 2010 You're all way off! Ok, so one night will be "A massive American Act" One night will be a "Massive Current/fairly Recent Act" And one night will be "Massive Legendary Act" Then watch Seetickets.com for bands on tour or regrouping next year. simples Prince is obviously a good logical shout as he is obviously on the road as he's down here in November And the best will be the Sunday night on The Other stage which you didn't go to (again) as you wanted to see a Legend And as usual you will trek all the way to the Park for the "Surprise Guests" to find - you went to the wrong band and you had never heard of who was on but while you listened to Englebert Humperdinck for a Laugh you missed GreenDay Rolling Stones it is then, Linkin Park may be in down the order somewhere....

SuperMikey Posted 15 February, 2011 Share Posted 15 February, 2011 And Beyonce has already put out a press release saying how excited she is to be headining Glastonbury on the Sunday evening. Sounds like the rumours were true and we won't have to wait long for confirmation of U2 for Friday. None of the 3 really inspire me tbh, Coldplay and U2 are massively over-rated (although both have done some excellent songs - it's just drowned out by all their other turgid stuff) and Beyonce isn't really my kind of thing. Big rumours for Primal Scream to headline the Other Stage on Friday with their 'Screamadelica' show, with the Chemical Brothers and The Libertines or The Strokes to do the other 2 days.

dubai_phil Posted 25 February, 2011 Share Posted 25 February, 2011 Woo Hoo. Pay for ticket weekend is here. Yep us Johnny Foreigners get to book the CamperVan tickets and pay the full balance an age before you lot, and we're allowed to use Credit Cards (phew) So a frustrating afternoon of F5ing awaits. U2 on Friday, OK great name, but saw them at Wembley in the 80's and they were very meh (The Prentenders stole that show). Beyonce, hmm didn't bother to drive 100kms to see her when we had free ticket passes for the first F1 GP in Abu Dhabi, but somehow think the GF will have her high up the list, unless something special is on The Other Stage Coldplay. Well, we were spoiled by their Gig in Abu Dhabi in the middle of 3 thunderstorms and rain drops the size of Vodka Shots. Things were blowing up on the stage but the band played on and it was without a doubt THE best gig I have ever seen (not necessarily the best Musical Content). Will I want to sour those memories by sitting in my Deck Chair 200 yards from the stage? Hmm Looking forward to seeing what the options on the other stages are to be honest. The joy of Glasto is randomly finding something or someone you'd never had thought to see who turned out to rock and it always seems to be after a good stay at the Cider Bus Strangely over the years that has included Will Young, La Roux, some completely unknown Ska band from Bristol, Lady Gaga, Eddie Grant, Hot Ratz The Prodigy (Mosh Pit at my age with a deckchair on my back - how stupid is that but AWESOME!) some African Duet and (FFS) Tony Christie singing Amarrillo.

NorthamSteve Posted 25 February, 2011 Share Posted 25 February, 2011 Battles have been added to the rumour list today. BB King has been updated from Rumour to Strong rumour as he added dates to his UK tour with a Glasto shaped hole in the middle. A band that I somehow see every year without trying '360' -Ska band from London are confirmed for the Pussy Parlour. - I normally see them about midnight, check them out if you can.

Verbal Posted 25 February, 2011 Share Posted 25 February, 2011 U2 are turd and Bonio is an even bigger turd. I'm not sure this is logically possible. But with U2, some exceptions can be made to the normal rules of turd physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 25 February, 2011 Share Posted 25 February, 2011 Don't like any of the headliners this year although Beyonce might get some good guests on with her (Jay-Z is definitely going to be at the festival anyway as they always go with each other on tour dates) so might be worth a watch. Looks like the Other Stage and West Holts are going to be very good this year; Other Stage headliners are rumoured to be Primal Scream, Chemical Brothers (with Underworld playing before) and The Libertines. West Holts is rumoured to have Jimmy Cliff, BB King and M.I.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted 25 February, 2011 Share Posted 25 February, 2011 Battles would be insane. I missed them last time I went because they clashed with Jay-Z.

dubai_phil Posted 26 February, 2011 Share Posted 26 February, 2011 Babyhead? Yeah mine is a bit like that this morning after a heavy Karaoke & Bullfrog Night last night.... Good news was the GF won the "Sing a Stevie Wonder" competition - stone me, she won TWO freebie tickets to see the main man himself in Abu Dhabi in a couple of weeks. meanwhile I have no idea of the name of the band but they were in Pussey Parleur when it rained mid afternoon on Thursday 3 Glasto's ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
