Glasto roll call?

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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    • 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

    • Sun + friends + drinks + things +

      Battles
      Elbow
      The Verve
      Spirtualized
      Brian Jonestown Massacre
      Neon Neon
      Dizzee Rascal
      Black Mountain
      Massive Attack
      British Sea Power
      Foals
      Black Kids
      Holy Fuck
      Vampire Weekend
      MGMT
      Mystery Jets

      = Good weekend

      • There's PLENTY

        going on at Glasto:
        Holy Fuck
        Dizzee
        British Sea Power

  • Arrrrrggg

  • A WEEK TODAY PEOPLE!

    • 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

          • 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.

          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
