that tonight 6pm announcement isn't glasto. To which I'd be gutted.

I'd be gutted too but I would also laugh at the fact that we've all spent 5 days coming up with this very elaborate theory about how these obelisk tickets link to Glasto.

I love Glastonbury speculation!

.....and there is something on the boarding pass that could tie up with what I've heard.

I'm guessing the "CAG" part?

Yeah I know where ParsonJack means and all this makes sense now.

"An obelisk is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape or pyramidion at the top. "

Sounds like they are playing CAG as a warm up for Glastonbury. Either soon or as it is local, perhaps just beforehand?

So "CAG" is just the venue of a small place in Somerset?

God, I feel stupid this morning....

I was starting to doubt a Glastonbury connection and I thought I'd google the definition of "Obelisk". Although there is a Pyramid logo on the ticket it doesn't necessarily match the description of stage of the same name. All the intrigue is a lot of fun though.

obelisk

ˈɒb(ə)lɪsk/

noun

 

1. 1.

   a tapering stone pillar, typically having a square or rectangular cross section, set up as a monument or landmark.

   synonyms:

   column, pillar, needle, shaft, monolith, monument, memorial

   •  
2. 2.

   another term for obelus.

Obelisks and pyramids are both associated with ancient Egypt.  Perhaps they're playing in Cairo.

Oooooh! That would be a cool venue to see the Foo's!

Sucks to be us though....we need a Glasto announcement before we send ourselves loopy

Looking at the javascript on the page - it seems to print the following if they submitted correctly: "Congratulations, you are now checked in. Your adventure begins on 24 February. Check your email on 23 February at 18:00 for details." - Which suggests something happening this week?
