Ah, the great beach land grab.  In the 70s and 80s it was ze germans getting their towels on sun loungers in pre-dawn raids, now it's the humble gazebo under fire.   The same thing is apparent at popular UK beaches, with families creating little personal compounds from wind breaks, gazebos and clusters of chairs, blankets and industrial sized coolboxes.   I'm actually not against the use of gazebos at festivals, never used one myself but pitched correctly I think that a group camping together can make use of one without actually using more space than a group of tents with some open central space between them.  The Pyramid palace and other megatent regulars at glastonbury never bothered me in the slightest, and there's something about seeing the way that some groups organise their space with the use of bins, tarp and gazebo to build a comfy little home from home for a few days that I consider interesting social behaviour.  

DANCE    

Yeah.  I enjoy both acts, and it felt to me like Fontaines had more momentum at the time of the festival.  We had a few songs from the upcoming album that illustrated that they were a band still very much on the up, their earlier albums all having done well.   As for Charli and her fella playing the same night, I'm with Calgon on that one.  

BBC are doing this sound of 2025 thing - the number one comes out tomorrow.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0xneg1j72o   Perhaps whoever that is (or all if playing) will be announced?  

Sure - I understand that there's info for both nights.   I just don't think the fact she's married to the 1975's drummer means they can't clash.  If anything it could make a clash more likely.
