Can I call this the official thread of trying to be excited over a festival where the line up isn't that ace? Thanks.
I am excited as I get to see Los Campesinos and go camping with my mates. Oh yes.

woop
i cant wait...cut copy is where it's at!
Yes! I totally forgot.
I loved their last album. When are they playing?
they re playing thursday and sunday i think
woop... the new album is the summeriest thing ive ever heard so it cant fail but to be amazing with strawberry cider and glastonbury
Fuck the line up, I am going and I cannot wait!
Love Glastonbury and we have a really good crowd going down this year.
Here's to drinking brothers pear cider in the sun with your friends!!
The Sun?
I am usually an optimist but... aaargh.
There has to be sun this year...
but even if there isn't I am going to enjoy myself!
Who goes for the music anyway?
Me, because I am awkward
Well yes, so do I
But the line-up is pretty poor so i'm going to do things I've never done before this time round.
Agreed. I want to go and spend more time
at the green field and the jazz stage. Try a square pie and watch a film in the cinema tent.
I was thinking more taking acid and mushrooms together while sucking off a hippy
But yes, those are all worthy pursuits too
im going
cant wait to see Yeasayer, Spiritualised and The National. thats about all though.....fail.
The National are the only band i'm excited about
and i've already seen them 3 times.
I'd really like to see Spiritualized, but only if the play Come On
Spiritualised
are playing the same time someone else, and I can't remember who. I want to hear his new album, it sounds like a mighty concept.
It's Leonard Cohen
which is rather annoying! The new album is amazing and they were brilliant at Dot to Dot on Sunday!
Yes that's it!
Leonard Cohen for me.
teehee let me know how it works out for you!
:)
The band I'm most excited about
is the Bluetones in the Leftfield. Is that wrong?
i dont know dave
Youre the only one who does.
Slight Return!
pffft
Cut Some Rug!
Hello
I'm excited because last year was so overcrowded, and teeming with cunts who were told Glasto was cool - I can't imagine what Reading is going to be like this year *shudder*
The line up isn't INCREDIBLE, but there is still loads to get excited about - Battles, Stars, Los Campesinos!, The National and LEONARD MOTHERFUCKING COHEN
ahhh yes
battles will be fun. im working so im gonna have to take extra care not to miss the good people.
Stars stars stars!!!!
I KNOW!
Amy Millan *swoon*
I saw her last week at ATP
with Broken Social Scene and they were AMAZING. Best band of the weekend. I love Stars Heart album, eeee excitement.
Wrightylew is going.
And MrHills and our other lovelier friend.
I was slightly disappointed at the lineup when announced, but to be honest, for people who went last year - how many bands were on your list of people to see? Most people I know had about 12. We were complaining the lineup was shit last year. The Pyramid - Arctic Monkeys LOL, The Who LOL and The Killers - who were so bad, we were part of a huge river of leaving people by the third song.
I've lost a lot of my interest in live music, but I'm hoping to catch this short arrangement:
MGMT
The Verve
Black Lips
Duffy
Jimmy Cliff
Solomon Burke
BrianJones Town Massacre
Duke Spirit
Elbow
Caribou
My Morning Jacket
John Cale
Buddy Guy
The Travelling Band
Duffy?
Really?
Yeah.
I think she's great.
If there are still tickets in a couple of weeks time
I might be tempted
Im going
but Im working which Im slightly regretting doing now because I reckon theres gonna be quite a few bands that I'll have to miss out on, should still be a good weekend anyway (well more like a week and a half for me :D)
i'm
off with me' bruv and a few mates no doubt :)
i'm in
gonna be a cosy one this year with just my woman and a couple of mates going. line up's not terrible after close study; battles, yeasayer, dizzee, ben folds, jimmy cliff, plus plenty of bands i might enjoy like the presets. oh, and squarepuser's always amazing. that's more than enough!
in
in
I'm going...
and praying that by the law of averages we are due a sunny one.
Oh, and Ben Folds is playing.
I'm going...
Because you're making me. I am not leaving the tent if it's like last year.
i'm going
and i cant bloody wait.
just going to get drunk and have a brilliant time in the sun (it WILL be sunny) with loads of mates some of whom i dont see as way often as id like to.
this amount of brilliant time will also find me watching likes of jay z, wino, vampire weekend, battles, wombats, seasick steve, bluetones, loadsa filthy beats and quite very possibly will young aswell.
Will Young is playing?
Please tell me this is true...
The Park
on Saturday night :)
Fantastic news!
I thought he was on the Avalon stage?
I'm not sure
but you are probably right!
By the way,
loving all the positive thinking for the sun. I honestly believe that this year we're due some sun.
2004, 2005, 2007 all rained. It got worse each year. It can go NO worse than 2007. No, it can go only the opposite.
I think it will. Then all the faithless Glasto part-timers will curse at the fact they aren't there when its plastered all over BBC2 for a week.
I'm really looking forward.
It didn't rain in 2006...
Pissing on your parade...
it didnt happen in 2006
you burk
That was my point
Take that back
oh. okay
sorry
:(
This is my one hope
That all those moany cunts from last year will be at home going "Shit."
There is a load of us going
and its gonna be sweeeet!
As Kayleia knows (cos she's AWESOME), I'm going
Like everyone else, I was majorly pissed off with the line up. But at the end of the day, it's still me and about ten mates at a festival for five days, so there's not a chance I won't have a good time
Plus, didn't realise Cut Copy were playing til I read this
SCORE
:D despite me making up your expiry date
it still worked! :D
30 days to go
tick tick tick.
Come on sunshine.

Was just thinking that myself!!!
WOO-HOO! I cannot wait!
I'm going to get my food goods this weekend!
:D
Yip, same here.
Glastonbury is one of the few things I enjoy shopping for, apart from music that is.
Oh harro!
I'll be there! I can only afford either alcohol or food so please throw me a cereal bar if I pass you by :)
Hello
I forgot this was so soon. I really should organise some things ready.
I wanna go NOW
I'm stuck in the office while everyone else has a team meeting which I'm not allowed to join in with as I'm a temp.
Bring on fucking glasto!!
I'm stuck in the office
and I got made redundant last week so i want go more than anyone else!
i got asked to shut my window
im annoyed bythat too
open it even more
Look! - http://www.brotherscider.co.uk/assets/images/Blogs/Toffee%20Image.jpg
Shopping for glasto
I would agree that festivals are what I enjoy shopping for apart from music! Packets of those tuna snack things, pop up tent, mummy sleeping bag, radio, chair, wellies, toilet paper and black sakes - point me in the direction of the festival lol
What's everyone taking?
Super Noodles a plently for myself.
loys of babywipes, peanuts, haribo etc etc
Man I am getting so excited!
mmm haribo
tangtastics!
its obscene how much haribo...
me and my friends go through at festivals.
It's all about the vodka haribo challenge
copyright me and my mates, Reading 2002
do discuss
I wanted to put it in pimms.
Aye LordLucius....details please.
I prmise not to infringe on said copyright without explicit permission from your good self.
Take one shot of vodka
And one tangfastic haribo (cherries are good for this, as are the dummies). Put haribo in your mouth, drink the vodka and hold it in your mouth whilst you chew the haribo. See how long you can last.
I saw a girl do it for 20 minutes at Reading 2003 - we had to give her a new haribo and her initial one had dissolved. There were tears streaming down her cheeks
ha ha with permission I might give this a try!
this sounds fantastic
OMG
I WILL be having some of that..... and of course Strawberry cider. YUM.
It's Shaky
who will do it for me - then i am off home.
YO!
I'll be around. Look out for me all. National are top of my list, then caribou, battles, BSP and BoH. See you THERE.
Who cares about the line up!
Well - Leonard Cohen aside, possibly! It's gonna be great to be at a Glasto that isn't overly packed... I'm gonna spend my whole weekend in the massage / hippie / pagan fields!
except it will be overly packed.
pretty much sold out now.
I think I'm going now
Never been to a single camping festival, and I'm going with only one mate.
I'm both shit scared and excited at the same time.
I know I will just get drunk, lose all contact with my mate and wonder aimlessly for hours not knowing whats going on as well, ah fuck it. AH FUCK IT
I was talking to a woman of about 40
who went a feew years ago. She was telling me to mark my tent etc so I don't lose it. She lent in and said darkly how she was lost from her mates for two whole days straight without knowing where any of her mates were. Best two days of her life apparently. So you should be fine!
Don't loose your mates
Loosing your mates is all part of the fun, but it's also great when you find them again!!
If you're worried about getting lost then try our Orange GlastoNav - one of the best features is that you can share your location with your mates when you're lost - great to help guide you through the Bermuda triangle that is Glastonbury
Its also got a full artist line-up, free festival alerts and an interactive map.
You just have to text GLASTO to 64446 and we’ll send you a link to download it.
One of the best JAGs I've ever seen
They even spelt 'lose' wrong - twice
im going
and looking forward to seeing holy fuck muchly.

to your friday list.
Oi, DiSsers, if you see then please come up to me and say hi. I'll be courtesous and potentially offer you some of my winebag. My face is on my profile.
On site now,
since Sunday and it is all looking rather well so far. The sunshine has helped. Lets hope it stays. Best bits so far have been a close encounter with the Pyramid stage and meeting Mr. Michael Eavis himself as I was coming out of the shower block, the lovely man he is. Worst bits, my car breaking down and the fact that the cider tents aren't open yet. Don't forget if you are on site Worthy 87.7FM and we'll be streaming online very soon :D
I'm really hoping
the weather holds out this year! I keep checking the weather reports and its all a bit hit and miss!
I think I may buy a ticket tonight..
If I do my list would look something like..
Riton
Voodoo Trombone Quartet
Zion Train
Lupe Fiasco
Hercules & Love Affair
Appleblim
Dizzee
Booka Shade
Massukos
Los Campesinos!
Massonix
Battles
ETHIOPIQUES!!!
Yeasayer
Rex The Dog
Leonard Cohen
Derrick May
