Could be worse. You could have posted “happy full line up day!” in your Glastonbury chat Thursday morning and look like more of an idiot with every passing day it doesn’t arrive 😂

I came so close to doing this and have been breathing a sigh of relief I held off. It's bad enough I went early with the Stevie Wonder news.

When you all say "Full Lineup"

 

Do you mean stage splits and times, or can you sometimes get some decent new names? 

 

Think we're hankering after the times/splits more than anything.  I need to work out my inevitable clash nightmares.

There's still a decent chunk of the Other Stage lineup to come out I think. 15 acts on the poster+James self confirm to take it to 16. 24 acts on the final lineup last year. So probably 8 or so still to be announced.


I really hadn't noticed how sparse it's looking. Poster does a good job of making you think there's tonnes there, but 16 names is such a big gap on previous years.

Yeah everyone just wants splits. St this point I don't think anyone would care if nothing else was announced as long as splits come lol

tbf I think back end of this week would be a similar time between this announcement and festival as it was the past couple of years (I will not be fact-checking my statement here)

James was also on the BBC announcement on Friday about Glastonbury coverage, so more confirmation they are playing (in case anyone missed it)

Got to agree with this, unless there's something genuinely delaying it that we're unaware of.

 

Given the size of the place, plus other preparation people need to take care of, 3 weeks should be a minimum really

If it’s not out by this time tomorrow I’m going to start entertaining the “someone major has pulled out” theory. 

 

Does feel suspicious, especially when multiple sources associated with the fest (and EE herself IIRC?) stated end of May.

 

That said, I'm sure we've had the splits/full lineup come out well into June before, so could be nothing.

It's mostly getting days and splits for me - wife refuses to start listening to anyone new until she knows what the clashes will be as she can't be bothered to get invested in a new favourite act and then find she can't see them.

 

Also keen to get the final gaps in the lineup filled out as well as there are several possible acts to fill those gaps that would really make a difference to the weekend atm.

Just spotted the sad news that Colin Gibb from Black Lace has died 😔 don't know if they ever did Glastonbury, but what a laugh that would be, right? Some classic cheesy hits there!

 

That's really sad.  Saw them on a TOTP repeat on BBC4 last Friday... and I thought it's a real shame that we don't have daft but fun bands like that any more.  Agadoo is a classic, and Black Lace just wanted to entertain without taking themselves seriously etc.

I think with that Sidetracked podcast being this Thursday, it'll be on the morning of that.

Podcasts aren't live though, so if it's published on Thursday it's probably recorded no later than Wednesday. So they'd need the full lineup available when recording if it syncs up in any way, which means it's out before Thursday morning. Unless they have access to an embargoed version but that doesn't seem to happen with Glasto normally.

 

Not sure I see any relevance to the podcast to be honest. It's content partially about Glastonbury but quite surface level.

I'm usually fairly chilled, but I'm getting a bit miffed that there still aren't the times.

 

I don't think there is anything they are hiding btw. 

 

I'm In a different office + in meetings all tomorrow and so it will be the most inconvenient time to drop. 

Tomorrow it is 😆

    • I seem to be in the minority here, but i really really enjoyed the AM gig in 2023 🤩 Had seen them tons of times before, but this probably was the best one for me.   I enjoyed the first hour of Coldplay, but lost my attention in the second part. Arcade Fire never really was my cup of tea & I barely have any memories of that gig (despite being sober 😀)
    • Lovely question.   I'd probably say...   Taylor Swift wins out at #1 with 2 nights on the bounce at Wembley Stadium    Very closely followed by The Cure at Troxy at #2   And Bruce Springsteen in Cardiff at #3.   Honourable mentions for Bad Manners and Last Dinner Party at The Fleece at #4 and #5 respectively.
    • Alpha Heat Vest Cost: What You Need to Know Before Buying The Alpha Heat Vest has quickly gained popularity as a game-changing piece of winter clothing that provides adjustable warmth through integrated heating technology. With the promise of convenience, comfort, and warmth, it has attracted a lot of attention from outdoor enthusiasts, commuters, and anyone looking to stay cozy during the cold months. However, one common question potential buyers have is:  How much does the Alpha Heat Vest cost? In this article, we’ll break down the cost of the Alpha Heat Vest, the factors influencing its price, where to buy it, and whether it offers good value for your money. 1. What Affects the Cost of the Alpha Heat Vest? The price of the Alpha Heat Vest can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, features, and where you purchase it. While the cost might seem higher compared to traditional winter clothing, the advanced technology and additional benefits justify the investment for many buyers. Here are some key factors that influence the pricing of the Alpha Heat Vest: a. Heating Technology The primary feature of the Alpha Heat Vest is its built-in heating technology. This involves rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power heat zones within the vest. The more advanced the heating system, the higher the cost of the vest. Some models may offer additional heating zones or longer battery life, which can increase the price. b. Materials and Build Quality The materials used in the construction of the vest play a significant role in determining the price. High-quality, durable fabrics such as water-resistant or waterproof materials, as well as lightweight yet insulating options like down or synthetic fibers, will contribute to a higher price. Additionally, well-constructed vests with premium stitching and design can raise the cost, ensuring the vest lasts through many winters. c. Brand and Reputation Different brands that produce Alpha Heat Vests may price their products differently based on brand reputation, product performance, and customer service. Well-established brands with a track record for quality and reliability tend to charge more for their products. Conversely, lesser-known brands may offer more budget-friendly options but might not provide the same level of quality or warranty. d. Retailer and Location The platform you choose to purchase the Alpha Heat Vest from will also affect the price. Official websites, authorized retailers, and popular e-commerce platforms like Amazon often have varying prices for the same product. Additionally, shipping fees and taxes can increase the final cost, depending on where you live. 2. How Much Does the Alpha Heat Vest Cost? The cost of an Alpha Heat Vest can vary based on the model, features, and where you purchase it. On average, the price of an Alpha Heat Vest ranges between $100 and $250. Here's a more detailed breakdown: a. Entry-Level Models ($100 - $150) These models tend to offer basic features such as a few heating zones and limited heat settings. They’re often made from lighter, less expensive materials but still provide adequate warmth and comfort. These vests are ideal for people who need a simple, functional heated vest without breaking the bank. What you get at this price: Basic heating options (usually one or two heating zones) Shorter battery life (usually around 3-5 hours) Basic fabric, often water-resistant but not waterproof Limited warranty or return options b. Mid-Range Models ($150 - $200) Mid-range Alpha Heat Vests typically offer better materials and more heating zones, along with longer battery life. These models are perfect for those who want reliable performance during outdoor activities or daily use without paying the premium price for high-end versions. What you get at this price: Multiple heating zones (often covering the chest and back) Adjustable heat settings (low, medium, high) Improved battery life (usually 5-8 hours) Durable fabrics like breathable and water-resistant materials Better fit and design options Better customer support and warranty options c. High-End Models ($200 - $250) For those who want the best of the best, high-end Alpha Heat Vests come with advanced features, premium materials, and extended battery life. These vests often come with multiple heating zones that heat up faster and provide consistent warmth for long periods. They also feature more sophisticated battery management systems, ensuring the heat lasts for longer durations. What you get at this price: Advanced heating zones (including the neck, shoulders, and arms) Longer battery life (8 hours or more) High-quality materials, such as waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabrics Premium design and construction with better fit and mobility Additional features like USB ports, washable components, and more Comprehensive warranty and easy return/exchange policies 3. Is the Alpha Heat Vest Worth the Price? When deciding whether the Alpha Heat Vest is worth the cost, it’s important to consider how much you value the features it provides. Below are some factors to weigh: a. Performance and Convenience If you often find yourself in cold environments—whether you're commuting in winter, hiking, skiing, or working outdoors—the ability to adjust the heat in your vest can be a significant advantage. The convenience of having a lightweight, battery-powered garment that keeps you warm without bulky layers makes the investment worthwhile for many people. b. Durability Given the technology integrated into the Alpha Heat Vest, it’s designed to last longer than a traditional jacket or sweater. With proper care, these vests can continue to provide reliable heating for several years. Keep in mind that buying from a reputable brand can ensure higher durability and better customer service. c. Cost vs. Traditional Winter Wear When you compare the price of an Alpha Heat Vest to traditional winter coats, the cost is certainly higher. A good quality winter jacket can cost anywhere from $100 to $200, but it won't provide the added benefit of adjustable heating. For people who prioritize warmth in colder climates or specific activities like outdoor sports, the value of a heated vest becomes more apparent. d. Long-Term Savings For those living in regions with long winters or people who frequently go outdoors, the investment in an Alpha Heat Vest can be seen as a long-term solution to avoiding multiple layers of clothing and bulky coats. The vest's energy-efficient heating system can also reduce the need for using high-energy heaters indoors, potentially lowering your energy bills during winter. 4. Where to Buy the Alpha Heat Vest To ensure you’re getting an authentic Alpha Heat Vest at a fair price, consider purchasing from one of the following sources: Official Website: Buying directly from the manufacturer’s site guarantees the best price, along with warranties and customer service options. Amazon: Amazon offers a range of Alpha Heat Vests from multiple sellers, providing user reviews to help guide your decision. Outdoor Retailers: Websites like REI or d*ck’s Sporting Goods may offer Alpha Heat Vests with added perks like in-store returns or loyalty programs. Local Retailers: Some physical stores, especially those selling outdoor gear, may carry Alpha Heat Vests during the colder months. 5. Conclusion: Is the Alpha Heat Vest Worth the Cost? Ultimately, the Alpha Heat Vest offers good value for those who need reliable warmth in a lightweight, portable form. The cost, typically between $100 and $250, is justified by the advanced heating technology, durable materials, and long-term benefits it provides. Whether it’s worth the price depends on your personal needs and lifestyle. If you frequently face cold weather and need a versatile garment that keeps you warm without the bulk of traditional coats, the Alpha Heat Vest is likely a worthwhile investment. Just be sure to consider the different models available, read customer reviews, and compare prices across platforms to ensure you're getting the best deal.
