Are there usually DiS meet ups at Glasto?
'Cause i'm on my lonesome this year.
The usualy is
haven't made it to one though, can be a bit of a nightmare to arrange & my phone died last time :(
But yeah look out for one in the topics nearer the festival.
Ahh good news.
Why am I imagining a fortress of DiS'ers tents and the only way inside is having to get 90% on a 'DiS meme's and inside jokes quiz?
Don't imagine that
I'm sure it involves a tree and cider... and nothing more :D
last year we met up at the avalon inn
drank loads of ale and stumbled to strummerville
oh man i'm a tiny bit sad i'm not going this year :(
Big big fan of the Big Boi/Janelle Monae announcements
Perfect
It means inevitable collaborations doesn't it :D
not to mention Monae in particular is meant to be stunning live.
I'm surprised no Festival organiser had nabbed my recent idea:
Think of all the different (and brilliant) sets you could make just by booking Dangermouse, DOOM, Cee-Lo & James Mercer.
The combination's are endless. (well about 7...)
I'm hoping it also means she might get added to Primavera last minute
On a side note
Biffy Clyro have just self confirmed and I forgot to mention Anna Calvi was also announced
fucking brilliant selection of acts!
I mean, the festival has thousands of performers, but for the first dozen to leak through to be so suited to my personal tastes - well, it's just pretty neat
primal scream
are headlining the other stage at the same time as U2 apparently
I'm well tempted to watch The Chemichal Brothers on the Saturday
Can imagine that being a real crowd pleaser and the right mood for saturday... even if I'm not their biggest fan.
I'd say MEH
But I'm sure I'd just get told all the ones I have no idea about are amazing or something.
Tbh, I get doubts about going this time every year and still end up enjoying lots of it :/
Cool your jets
the are still 900 odd bands to be announced, for a 2nd announcement it's a very strong showing.
so what is the chances of getting resale tix next month then?
You'll probably have 1 hour to get on the ball to have a chance
eek
i may have to chip in with oxfam then. do you know of anybody who has still managed to get a decent all-round band experience whilst volunteering?
Elbow are confirmed.
Eels aswell, would that be worth checking out?
Eels?
Excellent, never yet managed to see E.
well
self-confirmed I think, but as good as
Eels
Sweet!
be nice to see BB King too i think
Indeed
this is good news
looks like ill have to go for a resale job after all... fingers crossed
