I appreciate I've asked this jokingly a few times now but on a serious note, do we know if Halvin is free? It'd love to get stuck into Clashfinder asap. 

 

I'm not on twitter so can't ask/ I don't know if they're on here? 

He's on holiday isn't he. I'm sure he'll do it when he can. Not sure what time zone he is in

Someone else will do it surely?

 

Was also thinking last year as it took a while to update, the lineup is always in a fairly simple plaintext layout, and clashfinder has a csv upload tool, wouldn't be too hard to just automate it?

It's be nice if the official app gets released at the same time as the lineup! Is that sort of synchronicity too much to ask for?

The festival needs to give the app people the details, once the fest publish the line up. App people have to get it approved by the app store. Won't be instant

I don’t doubt that Coldplay are much bigger and more well known than I can fathom - but there’s still not a festival that would book em to headline two nights at a festival, cos they just don’t have the amount of songs that would make it feasible. Not necessarily size of song, but amount of songs. They couldn’t vary it up to have two setlists in the same way that Metallica have. 
 

(And I’m no huge Metallica fan tbf, they’d be third in my Big Four rankings, and I’m not a crazed Coldplay hater - they just sort of exist, and I can very easily avoid them, even at Glastonbury 😁

Coldplay could play 3 nights, different songs every night, and still play at least 8 to 10 songs each night that many in the crowd would recognise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_by_Coldplay

Of that massive list, they've had 41 charting singles. Easily enough to play multiple nights... 

Please don't let that happen though... 🙈😂 (And that's coming from somebody who likes them.)

Yeah Coldplay have 9 albums, Metallica have 11. They've both got solid album tracks that only the fans would recognise. Coldplay just also have a bunch of genuine mainstream hits of which Metallica don't have a single one.

I wouldn't be surprised if they already have the info. Remember 2017 when EE gave a partial leak by having a screen shot of the Pyramid line-up on the App Store?

Ah surely everyone has heard Enter Sandman?…and Nothing Else Matters is all over TikTok…(Still agree the Coldplay have far more songs that casuals would know though)…both could comfortably do two nights and easily please fans. Never seen Coldplay on back to back nights (have seen Metallica two nights in a row though!).

they have impressive stats and you’re probably right but - no one - they, them, him or her, should ever play multiple nights.

You would've thought the official app people would be given the lineup slightly in advance, and in a coding format that they could transfer to their app straight away.

less people in the know = less leaks

 

Hence why the app follows on from the announcement

Happy line up day lads.


We’ve made it.

 

Let the unparalleled joy of the time splits being here, be balanced by the instant low of realising everyone you want to see is playing at the same time.

I feel like we’ve got a semi-good grasp on who is playing where and when already this year due to the OG poster split and ordering of the stage lineups, but can never put it past Glastonbury to pull an absolute shiter of a clash out of thin air.

Main thing I’m looking at today is times for Prydz, HAAI b2b Ki Ki, Bicep, Bonobo and Faithless.

 

Will determine if I’m at a main stage at headliner time or not!

Yeah same. I have a steer on where I'll be for the big five stages, and have already accepted some clashes like the Simz/Streets/Orbital nightmare, but the night time stuff is all to play for and nervously can't wait to see times.

    • 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.
