Most people on here will pour through the lineup in ridiculous detail when it finally drops, but the vast majority won’t. There will be plenty of first timers or casual punters who may not even be aware Glasto Latino exists for instance. It’s good to put alternative areas on people’s radars IMO.

For what its worth I was waiting for a mate to finish his shift in 2019 at 1.30am and wandered into glasto latino on my own for half an hour or so...was rather amusing getting involved in salsa dancing off my mash. 🙂

So since the Last Fest in 2019, I have changed jobs, the old place knew about me and Glastonbury and how big it was, this new place I don’t think does, so I like the individual posters, I’m printing them off and putting them up on wall in office all coming off of the original line up drop, they are starting to realise the vastness of it all

Nice poster drop but the designer needs to be fired.

don't get them too excited or they'll want to try for tickets next year 😉

[Chazeboy]

Nah I have first dibs, well hopefully 😉 at least the person who will fill in for me when I’m away has no interest

I know I'll get shot down for it (wasn't expecting the Arsenal comment though) but perhaps I'm the only one that will look at all the areas properly!

 

I’m going with 2 newbies so sharing these with them has helped show how much stuff there is outside the big 6

That might be the worst poster I've ever seen!

Edit. From a design perspective, as opposed to the acts on it. 

That gives me a sore head trying to read it. Maybe drugs will help.

Same. We seem to pop up liking the same things so often I sometimes wonder if you’re me, but from an alternate dimension. 

I’ve only been on this forum a few weeks and I often get you two confused.

Yeah, I find myself checking out a lot more stuff that I would have otherwise with the individual drops like this 🙂

This. If it all comes in one big drop I will skip over the ‘not obvious areas of interest’ which is a great shame. Realising who is on in the smaller/ outer areas is bloody great. Their  brief time in the sunlight. Keep it going like this.

I think they helped the designer when making it.

Bit disappointed with the comedians on there. Will there be other areas where comics are on?

im very far to the left but nish and Adam hills make my skin crawl (not wanting to turn this into a politics debate.) was hoping for Tim Key or David O’Doherty type act.

Out of interest, are there usually live podcasts that happen and if so in what area?

OK, I'm going to say it....I'm finding all these posters getting dripped out one by one really annoying, I know this is the way its going to go from now on (And it was the case in 2019)  but I much prefer an initial poster drop with all the big names, a full poster drop with all of it then the stage times/splits after.

 

I couldn't disagree more. I love it. Having to wait until the end of May/early June would be really annoying. I have already discovered some acts I perhaps would never had time to listen to otherwise. It builds the anticipation as well. Come June I'll be busy doing a handover for work/tidying the house from top to bottom for the person coming to look after the dogs and packing for Glastonbury. With all that going on if the whole line up dropped then it would be much harder to get used to it. If you don't like seeing it don't click on the threads and leave it until May/June for the big surprise.

Cabaret Tent, though dunno if you'll get Key or Doddles.

Nah the comedy’s an afterthought really. It’s usually the same people every year that fancied doing it for a few free tickets as far as I can tell.

[Junglist1981]

To be fair though that's a tiny number of the comedians who perform, the list of names on the chalkboard outside the cabaret tent is always super long. Could be the highest number of individual performances on any stage day to day?

That said I've only been in there once in 19 years! Doc Brown happened to be starting as we were walking past, I was straight in there.

[zeppelin]

I've been nine times and still failed to ever properly see something in T&C!

As much as I get excited about all the different areas, I really do seem to stick to the mainstream ones.

[Crazyfool01]

is that it for the week then ? 🙂

I think we'll get Arcadia this week; I just don't see them having artwork like that out with the artists if it's not imminent.

(Granted I don't work in Marketing or know how this sort of thing works so could very easily be wrong)

It's not really the same as David O'Doherty, but if you're after song-based comedy check out abandoman.

Could get Arcadia if they fix whatever issue stopped them doing a quick release today. 

 

[dotdash79]

I think we will get one on Thursday kidzfield or something

The only one I’m aware of is Infinite Monkey Cage recording shows in the cabaret tent. They’ve not been there for the last couple of festivals though.
