Anyone get tickets? I was in the que from 9 till 12, nearly gave up!
Glastonbury 2011
- Thread starter Anderson15
- Start date
Should have given up.
well, each to their own, have you ever been?
Queued from 10am-1-15pm when they sold out to no avail. Luckily I have a contact that will let me know when the secret resales are open before it opens to the masses in Februrary/March.
I'll probably just work down there again , anyone manage to get a ticket?
In case anyone who is going didn't hear the announcement a few days ago, the following are now confirmed:
Glastonbury Festivals - News - More line-up announced
Chemical Brothers are the most exciting one for me! Biffy Clyro have also self confirmed.

Don't think I'm going to bother going given the line-up.
Scroll to the bottom of the link below and see how many acts were on last year. You're ruling out a festival on the basis of 15 confirmed acts out of about the 1000 that will be there. Nice one. If you haven't got a ticket already, then you won't be going anyway!
Glastonbury Festivals - Line-up
I get tickets through work. It's pretty uninspiring so far though, the headliners set the tone for me.
The Headliners are rarely a popular choice.
It's worth going even if you don't like any of the acts that are playing. I set myself a couple of hours a day to just bugger off to any random stage and listen to whatevers on. It's amazing how something you'd never listen to on your iPod can sound so different and so good live.
I've always been a bit of an indie boy at heart, grew up with brit rock then moved onto the white stripes, strokes and early kings of leon and now into shite like Crystal Castles and one of my highlights of las years festivals..... Shakira. She was amazing, pure sex on stage, dressed casual, really relaxed, great voice, great dancer, worked the crowd well and her pure pop songs went so well with a drunken afternoon trying to dance amongst the squashed cider cups.
I wouldn't dismiss anything they have to offer. I destest U2 with a passion, Bono is the fecking anti christ in my eyes but I bet if i was there I'd sing along with the other 100,000+ people and love every minute of it.
So, what do people make of the line-up?

Can't go wrong with Wu-Tang, QOTSA and DJ Shadow really.
A lot of very dull bands playing, though.

U2 and Coldplay. And it'll be full of Bohemian types who think they're with it and different. Corporate fecking wankstaff.
Who is that on now? Because they are awful.
No idea, went out.
Simian Mobile Disco on the radio bit a minute ago.
Sounded like English French House. Great stuff.

Really wanted to go this year, for no other reason than my mate is playing there

I knew this was the year to break my glasto virginity and I bottled it

Have U2 banned live coverage or is it just a coincidence?
Fingers fecking crossed.
U2 were in the Bath town centre today apparently, signing autographs and shit.
I live in the centre of Bath and still couldn't bring myself to care.

So we won't be able to see any of the Radiohead performance?
BBC4 says it is on live at 10:30pm.
Radiohead and U2....shit my pants are wet.....except both will play mostly their new stuff. But still, Radiohead best get proper coverage somewhere :'(
Dunno why Glasto didn't follow suit and stream multiply choice like Coachella

Not gonna happen. Best you can hope for is some decent fan recorded footage from the crowd, there are no official cameras on that stage i'm afraid.
Good man.
You moved from Paington then?
BB King frig me, why couldn't I get tickets!
What channel will Morrissey be on? Is it all on BBC three?
no split between 3 and 4 and the red button
BBC2 is showing U2 at 9:45pm now.
BBC 3 is Glastonbury with Morrissey from 9-10pm. But the schedule says he starts at 8? Unless you can catch him now with the red button?
Maybe I was old before my time, but I never understood this, never wanted to go, still don't.
I don't see the appeal

Looks like BBC are changing stuff around , there was nothing on BBC2 before now there is loads tonight.
