i liked drifting off to sleep with the sound of the cinema when i used to camp up in that corner.

[darrenbha]

would be a far better spot for the queens head but would be nice to have something similar to leftfield there still. also an interesting move for cinema, probably make it busier as it'll be less of a trek to get there

[Wooderson]

I think the Queens head is total eye and ear-sore. Dreadful kip. Im saddened to hear that the warm and enlighted atmos of the Left Field is to be replaced by that Q Magazine-advert invested shibox.

Oh blimey, if we work the main Info Tent again like last time, we'd have the bloody Queens Head opposite while working, which compares pretty badly to having Leftfield nearby.

I've always loathed the Queens Head and its predecessor the Crown,. Corporate wannktents with shit beer (admittedly some of the bands can be good).

I've never been to the Queens Head....

Glad they are moving the QH. Was crap where it was. Ideally could be moved to one of the car parks....

Was there much branding in there? I didn't notice any in 2007, but then again I was getting myself in a tizz about seeing a particular band for the first time.

[Wooderson]

Now instead of sound bleed from that shithole over to the Other stage, whatever poor sensitive sod is on in the Acoustic will have the theme to Ghostbusters and then the tinny pish coming from that kip to contend with.

It's as much the shite beer chioice as the branding that pissed me off ....

[freehugs!]

lame, i was hoping for a newly invented ground breaking replacement ( as shangri la etc was ), now il just be ignoring much of that area of the festival

[Monkismo]

This is a disaster!!! We always camp in the Peel Tent field and base our Thursday night and Sunday night at the cinema field cos it's so close. Now it couldn't be further!!!

[TomfromStroud]

That sounds awful. I've also heard they will be replacing the green futures field with a tent selling I-phones.

I'm still worried about where Billy Bragg will play his storming Sunday night set.

So over the past few years we've lost the real Tipi field, we've lost Lost Vagueness and we've lost the Left Field and we've gained the Dance Village and the Park, and a really crowded late-night area which "closes due to crowd issues" every ten minutes.

Thank god we've still got the green fields, the Acoustic Tent and the Stone Circle. When they're gone I'm gone.

[staggerlee]

To be fair, pre-2008, that criticism could have been levelled at almost any bar on site.

The general consensus here and elsewhere was that Lost Vagueness was getting stale.

lost vagueness was stale by about 2004.

[paulo999]

What beers (lager) do they have on site? All I could find was Carlsberg which is fizzy cat's piss and Export which is much better but much more expensive.

[robith]

[staggerlee]

If you mean generic 5% British-brewed foreign branded lager, Carlsberg Export - made in Northampton - was your lot.

[norainplease]

Noooooooo Waaaayyyyyyyyy.......that is wubbish!

I was really looking forward to something new going into the Left Field area, after I got over the shock of it not being there

We alway camp close to the cinema field to an much enjoyed Goonies, Iron Man and Back to the Future there, to name a few! It'll be a trek but I am sure, we'll still manage a drunken bimble to it this year!

Glasto'll still be ace though!!
