My "acts to see" wishlist. Thoughts?

[lemonandlime]

As I say its a very optimistic amount, but I think its better to at least plan what you'd like to do in an ideal world. Obviously this doesn't factor all of the other countless distractions that i'm more than aware will arise. Plus there's a couple of overlaps, but apart from that its looking to be the best year yet personally.

i normally see about 10 to 12 bands a day.

not everything i planned to see though, lots of bands i stumble across and stay for the set.

I think its really possible. I'm sure i saw 9/10 bands each day last year also.

For some reason there's a snobby attitude on here that you shouldn't plan to go and watch bands at Glastonbury and that it's physically impossible to do so anyway.

It is quite doable as long as you really want to see the bands - it's natural selection; anything you're not that bothered about will drop off the radar.

Each to their own, I like seeing a large number of acts and if you do too then go for it. However, in this case, watching two at once may be tricky!

You're not wrong about it being optomistic. Don't mean to put a downer on things, but this just aint gonna happen:

20:00 - 21:20 Kasabian Pyramid

21:20 - 22:20 Pendulum Other

22:00 - 00:25 Bruce Springsteen Pyramid

[lemonandlime]

That is spookily close to my wish-list, Terry Reid & Easy Stars are my 2 real must-see acts. The only real diffs being I will go for :-

- Fri : Doves rather N Young and Pama Int rather than Mr Hudson

- Sat : Rolf & Japanese Popstars

- Sun : Quo and Back To The Planet

Think we may need high-speed motorbikes to get round and see that lot though !

Not perfectly, but i've decided that missing the last 20 minutes of Kasabian's set (which is probably gonna be a drawn-out version of LSF) and missing the first 20 minutes of Springsteen's HUGE set is a fair trade for a pumped-up Pendulum set.

[lemonandlime]

Well, I wish you the best of luck with it. Just don't underestimate how long it can take to get between the Pyramid and the Other stage at peak times, especially if it's muddy (which is fine, cos it WON'T be)
