Glasto: Alert! Alert! Good Bands!

by Sean Adams [Edit this content] ▾ 5 comments 11:11 April 28th, 2003

Just when you thought it was all about taking drugs in a field, Glastonbury gets a few bands worth watching...

Quite a few good 'uns announced.

Friday 27th June:
The Cooper Temple Clause who are also slutting themselves around Isle of Wight and Reading Festivals, play on the Other Stage at 5pm-ish. Zwan with Corgan smiling over to Pajo, will occur on the Pyramid Stage, along with Sparta, Mogwai ('wai are on after the Sugababes, according to BANG!), Super Furry Animals, Alabama 3 and Idlewild. REM headline.

Saturday 28th June:
Added Asian Dub Foundation, Turin Brakes and The Thrills to the bill headlined by Radiohead. Plus The Streets and rumour has it The Str*kes too.

Sunday 29th June:
Feeder *yawn* and Grandaddy play somewhere below Moby.

Other bands playing include: Supergrass, The Flaming Lips, Calexico and rumours are rumbling 'round about Sigur Rós and Bjork.

The festival's totally sold out. But try E-bay for tix! ;-)

I wouldn't suggest people get tickets from ebay (even if you do put a smiley to imply this suggestion is tongue-in-cheek). Send them to http://www.scarletmist.com instead where tickets can be exchanged for face-value. Avoid the rip-off touting scum on ebay like the long-drop loos on a hot Sunday afternoon!!!!
