Imagine getting an announcement like this one from today in 2002:

https://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/02/021212c.shtml

Can you imagine if that happened these days with social media what it is now there'd be an absolute frenzy whipped up in minutes.

Always worth a read. Did the villager who claimed the festival was offensive to Muslims explain why?

i think it was the idea of people having fun, a racist channelling their racism.

Yeah not much to go on there 🙂 … I think we debated one of their tweets last time as to accuracy but I can’t remember which one it was 😀 or the result

They're going to have to go some for it to be "the best ever".

Mind you they say that every year.

With no reference to anything whatsoever they may as well have made the exact same statement at any time in history - no way to verify or call them out on anything because by June so many things will have been announced and revealed that there's really no tie of this with anything that'll subsequently happen.  But I'm excited that they think so!

And for some every year they will be right … for every new person that likes it that will also be the case

Contrary to what I guess is popular perception, I'm not a Levellers fan.

What I actually guess is that the headliners for the 'best ever' festival will not be to your taste.  Levellers is who I think that you think drew the biggest ever pyramid crowd (though you may accept that that's been debunked).

Maybe, but not necessarily, and it's never just to do with the headliners, it's more to do with the people and the general vibe (this year was poor on both fronts).

Oops this thread has gone hot over a not so hot hot tip 😂

Yeah, I got that vibe of this year's (based on generally posting here) - hopefully sorts itself out for next year 🙂  Fully agree it's not (just) about the headliners.  I guess what they end up being does have some impact on vibe though, so it does make a difference (for better or worse) if it ends up being something with general appeal verses huge but very niche appeal.

haha - bet they are delighted.  Do they ever make actual predictions or share anything unknown / that they've heard early?  And if they do, in the past, has it been related to acts playing or more likely to be site changes (both exciting)

I think that was Glasto Mole or some other new one? Glasto Top Tips has been around for a bit but not sure there has ever been any specific news from them.

All these glasto accounts I get a bit confused

An earlier tweet indicated the Tweeter had their fingers crossed for AM, Elton and GnR.. Kinda hoping this isn't a follow up tbh

Awesome. Another very unspecific tweet about something unsubstantiated. Quick Somerset Live, run with it!

Discussing absolutely nothing is a distraction from Fred again discussion

I happen to know everyone in the Artic Monkeys has been known to sit in chairs on occasion, so could be a reference to them.
