One of our local venues doesn't mention the words 'tickets' in their posts now due to this... as soon as they mention the 't' word the auto spammers kick into action!  

Ah that makes sense why Gaz Brookfield always deliberately misspells both tickets and sold.

So will the scum announcement prompt any movement from the farm … they’ve issued denials in the past when it’s become a bit of a thing so maybe a bit early but others soon pick up on things and start reporting stuff as fact for clicks …. I reckon if we get anything before Christmas it’ll come tomorrow . Also I guess it depends if anyone has a more creative announcement lined up .

GLASTONBURY may be taking a break for 2026, but boss Emily Eavis has made sure next year’s festival is going to be a vintage year.

After I revealed The 1975, Stevie Wonder and Neil Young had been booked as the Pyramid stage headlines, our Jack’s well-placed insider has confirmed three more huge names to perform down at Worthy Farm.

And before the feminists start lobbing their pitchforks in the direction of Somerset, we are happy to tell you that they are all massive female artists.

A source said: “Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo and Charli XCX will all play Glastonbury next summer.

“Charli will headline The Other Stage and Chappell will be playing the Pyramid Stage.

“Olivia is coming straight to Worthy Farm after playing BST Hyde Park, so her slot is being firmed up.

“Emily really wanted Glastonbury to go back to its rock roots but by bringing in three of the world’s biggest female stars to play too, she is making a real statement.

“Glastonbury always has something for everyone but next summer’s line-up is really impressive in terms of the spectrum of acts and how big they are.”

We first revealed that Signed, Sealed, Delivered and Superstition great Stevie was in talks to play the festival last summer, but negotiations broke down at the last minute.

He is now back on the Glasto bill alongside Matty Healy’s 1975 and the legend that is Neil Young.

Sir Rod Stewart is also booked to play the Sunday Legends slot.

He said that despite it costing him an arm and a leg to play, he couldn’t turn it down. “It’s going to cost me a fortune to do it — £300,0000,” Rod revealed.

“I’ve got to bring all my band back from America. Of course, Glastonbury don’t pay for that.

“But I don’t care if it cost me £1million, I would have done it. It’s a great honour. It really is the greatest honour.”

We’ve got our tartan trousers at the ready.

Sky news have a story on glastonbury rumours coming up shortly. Will report back with any info, probably just be what we have already heard from the scum but who knows..

[Euphoricape]

As suspected, exactly same as scum story. Did sound surprisingly confident on Stevie Wonder though.

Glastonbury has never been a rock festival

Not a festival announcement but one that could impact phone signal for people on Three.

 

 

To be fair, Three was pretty good at this year's festival, much better than in the past.

Wasn't T-Rex the first headliner? You can't get much more rock and roots than that.

If anything it’ll likely improve as they’ll share networks.

In a lot of rural places they have done this for  along time. Where we live in Wales 3 piggybacks off the local Vodaphone mast and so we get a really good signal even though on the 3 website it tells us the signal is poor.

I'm in Wales and I get better signal up top in Snowdonia than I do at home on O2. Madness.

Marc Bolan and T rex played for 500 quid after the Kinks pulled out. Michael used to play Lola by the kinks to the cows when milking them. 
Bolan arrived in a fur covered limo. As a young teenager I Saw t rex in glasgow around the same time, First gig I ever attended.

I’d agree … only her and Madonna left on my list of must sees now … shame as both seems likely recently

There’s never been a musical artist bigger than Taylor Swift. I’m not suggesting that’s a good thing but it happens to be true
