The line up is booked!

[robith]

Following on from my thread about DJing at Glastonbury, they got back to me today!

It was a no, although I don't think they completely understood what I was asking - I meant DJing as in playing music in one of the bars, not the dance tent like! I wouldn't consider myself a "performer" (although I like a dance whilst DJing)

Anyway, there was one nugget:

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your interest in performing at the Festival in 2009 and please accept our apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

Unfortunately all of the stages and venues are now fully booked.

Good times! I can't wait to find out who's playing!

Considering one of the people who wont be playing is yourself, you seem remarkably happy about it!

if they thought you were asking to play the dance village you'll have heard back only from the dance village people - each area is booked essentially independently of all others.

And the dance village was (sort of) booked before xmas - they'd programmed the stages, and sent out all of the offers before xmas. I posted something about it at that time.

I can assure that that not all of the line-up is booked - in fact, I'd be exceedingly surprised if more than 50% of the acts that'll play across the whole festival are currently booked. It's certainly the case that they're only booked to about that amount at this time of year normally.

^ What Neil said.

I've got a mate who works in the "Theatre and Circus" bookings of Glastonbury and was chatting to them about their bookings the other day. They've only just started booking bands...and thats for 10 venues. Lots of space left there...but DJ'ing doesnt quite fit in there!

Does your mate do The Sensation Seekers Stage? Are THe Highliners going to be there? Is that bloke that does the chef routine in an Aussie accent there again?

So what about contacting some of the places on site that have DJs. Is the Rizla tent still going?

That's internesting because that's the area we know the least about, line-up wise. I don't suppose you have any info on the line-up do you?

only what's listed.

There's actually quite a few acts in the 'unknown stage' bits that I suspect are playing in the dance village somewhere, but in the absence of definitive info they've been put in unknown stage.
