so who is going then?

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Me!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I might, if it's not sold out by the time I haf mungy.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:51 (twenty-three years ago)

According to that news story, there will be one less stage at the festival this year. What do you reckon will get the chop? The second dance tent, perhaps? Or maybe the New Bands Tent.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Abso-fucking-lutely not. You nutters.

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:53 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm torn - last year had its moments but i felt like there was something missing and i'm not sure i REALLY enjoyed it - and thats having bought a ticket whereas I hadnt before - I expect the line-up will be shite tho, who's gonna play? fuckin R.E.M.?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Radio 1 just said "a smaller dance tent".

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:58 (twenty-three years ago)

What, as in the smaller dance tent that was there last year, or will the main dance tent be smaller?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 12:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh sorry, they said the other dance tent had to go.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I WILL be there this year, having bought a ticket as soon as they go on sale.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I will probably not be there as I have to go to a wedding.

Boo.

And the London Bootleg Orchestra was so going to headline the New Bands tent.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:02 (twenty-three years ago)

it was great last year! way fewer munters, more chilled atmosphere. Harder to find spangles, admittedly, but you can't have everything.

I hope they don't get rid of the New Bands Tent as the last few times I have seen lots of great stuff there. Maybe they will get rid of one of the dance tents... I mean do you really need a dance tent, the slapbag tent, and the Glade? isn't there another dance venue as well?

what they really need is a Pop Tent (I am saying this so people do not dub me ROCKIST).

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:03 (twenty-three years ago)

What Mark C said.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be enjoying Radiohead on Saturday night from the comfort of my couch at home.

― leigh (leigh), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:05 (twenty-three years ago)

What they really need is a huge pup tent.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Is that a tent with a huge puppy in it, or a huge tent full of puppies?

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:18 (twenty-three years ago)

This year, I think it would be really good if they got loads of top-line alternative rock bands.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:19 (twenty-three years ago)

It's an enormous bra, Ricky.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to go!! But the money thing might mean I have to GRR and GRIT MY TEETH all in capital letters.

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there.

― SittingPretty (sittingpretty), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there, representing the LBO.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:38 (twenty-three years ago)

(do you see)

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Is that you pushing over a Portaloo?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:39 (twenty-three years ago)

There is also good news for the people I will be going with - Isabel is getting me a tent for my birthday so you will not be shamed by the unpleasant brown thing.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Har har so camping near the portaloos again har har

Toms Action Man tent is a work of wonder.

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be donating it to a museum.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I liked our field last year. It was v handy for stuff and also things (and very far away from the 'ardkore hippies++). This year I will also attempt to bring a tent of my own so if I am germ-ridden I do not transmit my pox sorry Emma.

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

you will not be shamed by the unpleasant brown thing.

I don't even want to ask.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:54 (twenty-three years ago)

This year I will be going on a 3 month pre Glasto immune system boosting programme involving 1 billion grammes per day of echinacea, vit c, zinc etc. so poxes cannot penetrate my immune shield.

― Emma, Tuesday, 18 February 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Why don't you just get a Pete graft?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 14:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Pete hasn't done a days graft in ages. lazy sod.

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 14:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Pete's DNA mingles with mine OVER MY DEAD BODY which would render the whole immune system boosting thing futile.

― Emma, Tuesday, 18 February 2003 14:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I really wanna go but last year at T in the Park I got pushed over in a portaloo. I still get nightmares. I could get a catheter fitted I suppose....

― smee (smee), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 14:08 (twenty-three years ago)

That is a good idea Emma, I shall attempt to do the same (and probably end up twisting an ankle or something anyway and only hearing the pounding techno beatz0r from my tent miles away).

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 14:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I hope there will be a tent full of puppies.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 15:09 (twenty-three years ago)

There are usually a couple near the Healing Field if it's nice weather.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 15:11 (twenty-three years ago)

and tickets go on sale...when then ?

time to revive the '02 thread all about glasto,
who's clever and can put up the link ?

god i'm going with all nobs on.

rem
radiohead
...prince ?

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 18 February 2003 15:22 (twenty-three years ago)

the experience i had at the Rizla tent on the Friday night coupled with the majestic sunny weather that accompanied our drive down to the site on the Wednesday are currently the only reasons i want to go again this year

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 15:29 (twenty-three years ago)

WHat experience did you have in the Rizla tent on Friday. Cos I know what experience I had in the Rizla tent on Friday - and its name was Osymiso.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 16:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Rizla tent on Friday = highlight of Glastonbury 2002

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 16:35 (twenty-three years ago)

f*ckin hell we were *all* in the rizla on the friday night then ?
if memory serves it ran /0symys0/erol/freelance hellraiser.

o what a night.
the p*lls weren't bad either.

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:24 (twenty-three years ago)

ILXers (known to me) in/around the Rizla Tent on the Friday - me, Pete, Starry Sarah, Alix, Emma, Alan T, Carsmile

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh god otherwise known as the day after the Perry before... I seem to remember sitting on the floor at one point and feeling very chilled out indeed but I don't even think I was "altered" in any way... perhaps it was Tom's banana milk.

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Banana milk? Along with the unpleasant brown thing, I now have the fear.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:29 (twenty-three years ago)

And you haven't even factored in the dad stools...

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:32 (twenty-three years ago)

unfortunately i missed all the hot bootleg action, and have been haunted by this missed opportunity ever since.

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Alang you were there later I'm sure of it. I am sure of it because it was you who told me "House Of Jealous Lovers" was by The Rapture...wasn't it?

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:37 (twenty-three years ago)

yes i was in the Rizla cafe at exactly the same time as you ILX guys - this was before i became a regular on here of course - Osymyso was excellent, then later on came Erol Alkan with a brilliant set (will never forget that Rapture into Dead Or Alive moment) and the place absolutely exploded when Freelance Hellraiser entered the arena - you might have seen me i was drifting around in a fez hat. you couldnt move in there at that point but in the early evening it was nice and easy

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I was at fatboy/timo/darren emerson on the friday. rizla tent afterwards briefly, I danced to Flat Beat by Mr Oizo.

They can get rid of the Smirnoff Experience Tent or whatever for all I care, it didn't have anyone I was into anyway, though it's a shame if it means the other stuff will be packed. The Glade is classic and I'd be devastated if they didn't have DJs there, it was the best stage last year I thought, even if none of my favourites played there apart from the Stanton Warriors.

Anyway Radio 1's stage is better than any of the official dance ones, and had the biggest and probably most expensive dance act playing on the Thursday last year, apart from Fatboy, X-Press 2. It's annoying how I can't get involved in the speculation cos the djs all just announce a week or two before. I would love if Underworld played though obviously.

Yay, some innocents have been spared from the clutches of Corgan.

It is a sad and wrong thing that Nicole should so blithely deliver this heresy unto the masses.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 14 June 2003 13:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Corgan will now fly over Glastonbury in his evil weather machine and unleash the deluge

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 14 June 2003 13:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I can see him flying around in such an object, yes.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 14 June 2003 13:38 (twenty-three years ago)

....and wearing a clown outfit and crying.

― Nicole (Nicole), Saturday, 14 June 2003 14:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I sense bitterness towards one of heaven's own avatars, but the heathen will never understand. *retreats in priestly vestments*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 14 June 2003 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

BILLY CORGAN ROXX!!!!!!

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 14 June 2003 15:02 (twenty-three years ago)

raaaaaaar corgan cancels !!
(dances round room).

please lord david gray next.

― piscesboy, Sunday, 15 June 2003 00:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Oi Tico gizza tent eh?

― Sarah (starry), Sunday, 15 June 2003 04:13 (twenty-three years ago)

cumming in next week's NME: Glasto special: 2 free durex performa!, a milk choco energy bar: Go-co and a festival guide!

this reminds of that stoopid cardboard box with Select magazine in the 90s.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 19 June 2003 20:18 (twenty-three years ago)

No Glasto for me, this year. Sigh.

Once I looked at the lineup , I said, "Damn!"

(Starry, I sent you an email yesterday. Did you get it?)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 19 June 2003 20:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I am far too excited.

― RickyT (RickyT), Thursday, 19 June 2003 20:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be there in TWO DAYS TIME!!!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:35 (twenty-two years ago)

time to start worrying about the glasto weather.

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

*gets out his rain-making kit gleefully*

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I have - with my sacrifice - made sure that this years Glastonbury will have the best weather evah.

If I had blown out the wedding and gone it would have pissed down instead.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Thursday looks warm but overcast.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

have you noticed how the beeb has now made it's glasto coverage as central as wimbledon and ascot to "BBC Summer", i think this is grebt.

i must say i was getting minor heebie-jeebies vis a vis muddiness when it was pi$$ing down last night...

..but i'm sure we'll be fine :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 23 June 2003 13:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Remeber, if civilization collapses I'm in charge.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 23 June 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Me too re rain last night. In my work stress induced insomniac state it was the last thing I needed.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 23 June 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

age of empires, not civilization.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 23 June 2003 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

that bbc article better be right

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 23 June 2003 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

is there an fap? I am so buying cheap booze outside this year like a true scumbag.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 23 June 2003 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

NB Ronan both the shop and pub in pilton will be shut, so you may want to purchase cheap bouze (no glass bottles though!) well away from site :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 07:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Box of Sainsbury's red wine, you can't go wrong.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

FAP Glastonbury

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

oh and also:

Glasto FAP Details!!
thursday evening, from 7ish, next to/in the vicinity of the BROTHERS BAR perry stall, Oneworld field. you can't miss the brothers bar as it has BROTHERS BAR in 6 foot glowing letters on the front and quite a large sound system :)

woohoo, two days to go!!!!

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 07:24 (twenty-two years ago)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=1138

Some rain now forecast for Friday. Saturday - sunny intervals.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 10:32 (twenty-two years ago)

still quite warm though.

i'm going to have to go and buy some wellies now aren't i?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm hoping that means 'occasional showers'.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Mrs Mooro bought 3 pairs of wellies yesterday, one for herself & one each for her two Glasto-virgin mates.

Will Glasto have mud slides if it pisses down?

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Will anyone's tent end up 50 feet from where it was set? No.

Will there be big areas of mud where the young and emotional will flap about and enmudden anyone in a mile radius? Absolutely.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 10:45 (twenty-two years ago)

was there any consensus on where was cool
2 go late-night dancin in light of the rizla no-show ?

don't say the glade.

who knows who's on radio 1 outdoor stage this year ?
there's never any listings in the programme.
t

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 24 June 2003 10:49 (twenty-two years ago)

hey Mooro, are you coming to Glasto, or just Mrs Mooro?

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

why do i keep reading these threads? i'm such a sadist. you could at least start talking about the toilets and favourite band-clashes to remind me why its okay that i'm not gonna be there, grr.

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Not me, DV! I like my comfort too much to go & sit in a muddy field for 3 or 4 days AND to have anything of value nicked.

And then you have to listen to all that dodgy music as well.

Give me a nice holiday camp by the seaside with proper showers, a cooker & a pub anyday.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i second that emotion.

― angela (angela), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

There's nothing emotional about it! You second that logic, you mean.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

true, but i was trying to keep with the "dodgy music" theme.

― angela (angela), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 12:06 (twenty-two years ago)

You second that WUSSINESS, you mean.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

certainly that's another way of putting it.

― angela (angela), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

If you have to keep your wristband on for an extra month, though, definitely not worth it (to socialise with other soap-dodgers).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

marvy, i've got the tuesday off and have been meaning to go to trash for ages :) 30th July is a wednesday after all...

I expect the Wolves flag to be flying extra high and extra proud this year, all day in front of the Pyramid Stage like it does year in year out.
