There is a rumour that the mini-guides have been totally scrapped this year so maybe that's why they want the full line up + times out earlier, so that people can print/save their own clashfinders etc.

They were done by the guardian and if they aren’t selling onsite then it makes sense. 
 

also the app has been redesigned so that will push more people towards that.

also saves on a shed load of printing and paper costs / environmental impact

I find the mini guide more helpful than the programme . I’d chose scrapping that over the mini guide 😞

Guardian being scaled right back this year - no papers/bags/mini guides apparently at request of festival on grounds of sustainbility/waste.

The best thing about tge mini-guide was using the plastic cover to scrape out all the muck that has gathered under your fingernails.

The plastic cover d@bbed down a few years back I think.

 

Even pre-pando there was a sort of woven one.

2019 was a pouch and the lanyard would just spin round and round tightening around your neck and slowly choking you in the worthy sunshine.

I’d be gutted about now getting a mini program or something like that to carry around with the times etc. on

Clashfinder better anyway imo. Might print that off.

 

Loved the Guardian bags with the ropes for straps they had a for couple of years. Handy for a bottle of booze.

 

Wouldnt work nowadays with "day bags" and "all my stuff".

I always kept my ticket in the pouch.  Was always paranoid i'd lose it, and wouldn't be able to get a passout slip when going offsite.

Can one of you Photoshop geniuses whip up one of those heaven memes with Harambe, Steve Irwin, Queen Elizabeth II, Williams Green, The Growler and a Mini Guide?

In true Glasto spirit, the plastic ones have been repurposed as Lockups tags.

Nothing today, and either the Common/Kidzfield/Theatre & Circus tomorrow I reckon

That's the only announcement remaining I'm excited about now other than the full lineup at the end of the month. Everything else has been revealed!

Strummerville for me - but it doesn't seem to often have its own announcement.

It's all about Block9 and The Common now for me.

I rate the conms team getting all their weekly announcements out early and then going for a 5 day weekend.
