Sorry, should have said… I saw the mistype (and subsequent correction) too.

#55

Ah, Napalm Death are there too. On the same stage!

And the Dead Kennedys. Interesting.

Chuffed that Forest Sword and Charli XCX and Hamilton Leithauser have been added. But markedly un-chuffed that The Can Project has been removed and The National have a shit spot between Katy Perry and Foo Fighter and clash with The Avalanches and Solange.

Gonna see The Smyths twice, that’s how much of a wetbag I am.

Sampha then Moderat then Justice is a nice run to end it on Sunday. Going to try and do an all nighter that night and watch the sunrise at Stone Circle, never managed it before.

I’m pleased that, for the first time ever, there’s genuine choice on Thursday!

The two TBAs on Williams Green are Circa Waves and Everything Everything. It’s going to be packed, and I’m not particularly keen on either band (though those first two EE albums are quite something), but there’d be a great party atmosphere.

Then there’s Napalm Death in Sangri La… but most appealing by far is the night of psychedelic ambience in the Glade. Can’t wait!

yeah isnt it Earache records curating it

#59

I don’t know, but that would certainly explain why it says “earache” in brackets next to their names.

“Earache” looks like an abnormal word if you give it even a moment’s scrutiny.

I don’t think hippies really go to Glastonbury anymore :frowning:

#61

AHEM.

#62

Good luck looking for these guys at GLASTO 2017

#63

I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over all the tie-dye I’m wearing.

#64

I guessed you were one. You reek of patchouli oil.

#65

I prefer the term “musk”

#66

I don’t want to sound all oooh it was better in the old days (but I probably will) I did love Glastobury pre megafence for all the crusties, hippies and travellers that would turn up and drive in in their buses. Remember seeing a dog cock his leg and piss all over a crustie who was asleep in the middle of a really busy pathway once. Happy times.

I saw a wizard filming a guy sawing a big piece of wood a few years ago if that helps?

Thursday is pretty great, I’m looking at about 7 bands! Nice to see The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing back in the Rocket Lounge; somebody’s band from the old boards iirc, saw them post about it before the fest a few years ago, so I turned up and it was fucking brilliant. Then they seemed to regularly play that slot for a few years, but weren’t there last year.

The new car cinema is right near where we always park our tent, looking forward to going in there after the Flaming Lips on Friday night, and watch Mad Max while supping rum and having a smoke in the back of an old t-bird from Cuba or summat.

#69

Well that sounds idyllic.

Problem is, I told myself that my three absolutely unmissable bands were Radiohead, The Flaming Lips and The National. I can see there being a problem there.

Isn’t it a stage curated by Earache, or something?

#71

Looks like they haven’t so much curated it as has some say in it:
