Did you just fill these with vodka and bring them in?

Sorry for all the questions but last year someone else had everything sorted all I had to bring in was 2 slabs of cans...not fun carrying it for 15 minutes anyway!

Get yourself a trolley or wheelbarrow man, it's needed! Or a suitcase with wheels is grand to take most of the pressure off if it's not raining

Aldi have trolleys at the moment, large wheels, well worth the 20quid

I use the empty bottles to replace the glass vodka bottle usually in the car park, but this type of bottle is easy'ish to smuggle in or take into the arena when the bars close.

Used one of those trolleys last year worked very well just done forget the bungee cords handy to hold it together as your racing to the main gates

Any word on how ticket sales are doing?

Still convinced they have one more act up their sleeve!

iamanengine

Moar announcements!!!

ConConKing

I hope they do. I'll be going regardless but there isn't that an act there yet that I've always wanted to see. I am a fan of a lot of the artists music but have never been addicted to any of their albums.

Roisin Murphy nailed on for this

Hey lads,

Anyone any idea how much is coming out on the 1st?

And will it actually come out on the 4th because of the bank holiday weekend?

You think? She would be great in a tent. Saw her a few years ago and she was really good

Think he/she is referring to the installment plan.

I wonder is there any chance of a DJ set by some regular guy just playing his stuff in one of the smaller tents. Highly unlikely the man himself would come out to do EP but we can dream!

Does the fact that he's going under AFX now mean he'll only play Analord stuff at Glasto or is it irrelevant?

The name is irrelevant.

Hoping to make it down to it myself but it's probably one of the smallest stages at Glastonbury.

So today was ticket for myself and my mates. Getting VERY excited.

I see The Strypes (yawn) are confirmed for the Sunday at EP this year. It's on their tour dates.

Thought they were quite enjoyable last year, tremendous little balls of energy and noise.

H e always used AFX - for short and on his gig flyers back in the day, since the beginning!!
My guess would be, his mates with the organisers of this stage/tent at glasto, however, I could see him stopping over!

Also, the kickstarter for the old caustic window album is over and rumours are rife that the buyers/bidders will also get a surprise - perhaps new (recent times) material or even a new album!

I see an AFX tour coming on next year

How was Life Festival? It had a great lineup but, would have love to have went but I don't have that many mates who are into that sort of music.

Life was the best festival I've been to.
