Anyone wishing they where at Glastonbury?

Sugarbeat

Is anyone else wishin you where there, I do:( it's Friday evening and I keep on flippin into the BBC site to check the webcam, torturing myself

Or maybe there is a fellow boarder actually there!!!! and could give an update on the goings on in the mornings, a gist of the what happened for the lineup the night before, something to do while you're giddy cuing for the loo in the mornings

Just a suggestion tough:)

I missed out on Glasto this year but I was even more gutted when U2 were replaced by the gorrillaz.
Of all the years to miss??

Dublin yeah - Snoop is rescuing it slightly as I watch. Yeah reviews of live shows have been great. Not up to top billing on pyramid tonight though

Been watching it on the beeb tonight and it looks fantastic, as ever. Lovely weather, and even Snoop looked like great craic.

Always find it a great preview for the Oxegen/E.P bands as well.

Pauleta

Gorillaz were awful. I can understand doing a set like that for one of their own concerts but its not very festivally. Whatever that means

In terms of Glastonbury as a whole. I enjoy watching it on TV every year excluding the studio lameness but i wouldnt go as i hate hippies and those stupid flags annoy the piss out of me.

Can you imagine RTE doing live coverage of oxegen or E.P?....:D:D:D I wish they would but theres more chance of seeing pigs fly:D

TV3 used to cover Witness/Oxegen.

The MTV coverage is desperate as it is wouldnt want RTE near anything like that.

Really enjoy the BBC coverage of Glasto though, gives a good indication of who to see/avoid at our own festivals.

They'd probably have Glenda Gilson and the rest of that crowd presenting it for them if they still did it now...Jaysus..:o

i agree with the point made about the way gorillaz arent very festivlly haha there not, what there playing is good for their own concert but not as a headline at glasto and specially for the 40th :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I have seen a doves video on Youtube from witness (the song cedar room) with the tv3 symbol. I cant recall seeing it at the time. Wish they would do it now. Its always the same every year. I watch Glasto on bbc and i always say i'm going next year and i never end up going:o

Jesus watching Gorrillaz now and they are bad enough:(

Would have to agree, quite enjoyed them on the box but hardly the headliner of Glasto on the 40th anniversary.

Obvious replacement would have been The Strokes and it would have gone down a storm.
