This will be 40 years on the bounce, which by my CSE grade 1 maths is 32 times, discounting the fallow years, pandemic etc. Several of my early years were down to someone who sadly passed away this year, then a batch were courtesy of my dear old Dad who was able to snaffle a couple each year, but since then it's all been pukka, including one or two years over the counter from a record shop.   Then there were many times in the past where I got by with information shared here - eg secret sale tips etc back when they were a lovely thing. Since the pandemic I wouldn't have got in but for lovely members here.  @mjfiddy @Crazyfool01 @gigpusher and this year @Simsy have all enabled me to attend the event that, as with so many of you other folks, is one of the defining things of my life. Big hugs to you all, may those of you who are still trying for yourself or others on Sunday be fruitful. Let's have a great year x  

Sorry for everyone's losses, but smoking and alcohol aren't comparable. I could list all the reasons why, but the proof is in the pudding really, isn't it? The people have spoken. It's a democracy! By getting rid of it in public areas, you're protecting people's freedoms to breathe safer air (your poll was done in 2024, by the way, after all the hard work has been done. Of course nobody, especially younger people, are too bothered by it when it has been all but eliminated in public areas!!!!)   Alcohol is nowhere near as addictive as smoking, and much much less carcinogenic. 

That's a good idea. Are there famous people there as early as that?

Looking at everything considered. It appears the 1975 could well be our Friday night headliners.    A tread on the band...   Matty Healy is the perfect fit for Glastonbury discuss?

I like the new direction, and it's clear that it's actually necessary for the festival to survive, but don't see why McFly should be taking up a slot/budget here.   Didn't feel strongly about Busted because you could make the argument that their music has some kind of 'edge' to it, but McFly don't even come close to the 'alternative' arena.   I'm sure loads of people will go see them, but is that the only criteria bookers should have?
