The Glastonbury 2017 Thread.

[RichB]

So all the tickets again sold out this morning. Thanks to a friend I've been able to secure a ticket again for next year's festival but some I was trying for were not so lucky. It really feels like more of a lottery every year.

As is the tradition here we normally have a thread for speculation on the line up, ticket resales and if course roll call for who's going.

Having missed out on tickets for Kraftwerk's tour next year I really hope they'll make an appearance on Worthy Farm as they're scheduled to be in the UK that week. In terms of the rest of the line up, Radiohead would be nice and I always live in hope of seeing Dave Gilmour one day grace the pyramid stage. One can dream...

Not successful this year unfortunately. :-(

My daughter wants to try Glastonbury (we've never been) but I get p'd off with all the flags, can't see the blooming stage!

They can be a nuisance but definitely add more to the atmosphere than they take away. They also come in useful for finding your way back to your gang when you go to the loo. Triangulate between three is what I do. Except for the time when my mate phoned and said he was next to a Wales flag. I looked around and saw a half dozen of them...doh!

Only flags on the Pyramid stage Mike......best music and best times are always miles away from the Pyramid.

Ah, never knew that, just seen it on the telly and assumed it was like that all over the place.

Yep spot on there John. Same with the bogs etc, main stage band ends, thousands of peeps head to the loo's,etc etc... to hang around main stage all the time is a concert ,not a festival. Much better stuff to be had other areas, with well over 100 stages , and more space around , not that often i go to the main areas.

Very true re the pyramid and other stage, I only go there to see the act I'm interested in and then wander off. Think we only went there for ZZ Top this year.

Around the Avalon stage and area is one of our favourite part of the festival. Always a great and varied line up and nice atmosphere. On the Friday nt this year, Ali and I found a bench with a view in the Avalon Inn and enjoyed watching Blackberry Smoke whilst chatting with some other folks. Very chilled evening.

I also saw a few great acts at the Williams Green stage and West Holts this year. Someone once said to me there are 150,000 different Glastonburys to be had and I think thats entirety right.

[RichB]

Radiohead confirmed for the 2017 Festival.

I've been fortunate enough to see them live a few times over the years and always a great live band. I'm pretty ecstatic at this news.

[RichB]

Foo Fighters Now confirmed for Sat night, used to really enjoy their earlier albums. Not really kept up with them since. Still that Grohl fella seems an affable sort. They did put on a good show when I last saw them in 2002 so maybe worth a look.

Also a few self confirmations going around the social medias, London Grammar being one of them. Again worth a look for me depending on whether they clash with something else good.

[johnB]

Hobo Jones + The Junkyard Dogs are strongly rumoured Rich.

And this stellar line up.....

http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/line-up-2017/?stage

Not a dull moment and besides you've never really done Glastonbury until you've witnessed a fat lass having a dump in a hedge whilst tripping your tits off. :eyebrows:

[RichB]

Three weeks....get in!

Eek, exciting ain't it... It's crept up on me, so busy with work and band stuff at the moment I've struggled to find time to spend a day on YouTube checking out things I don't know on the line up. Must try harder.

Anyway, Napalm Death are there and the Dead Kennedys (without Jello) but that's me well happy!
