Glastonbury 2024

[swingdog]

Best music festival in the world.

Perfect for a cold day in Melbourne. Switch on VPN, fire up BBC IPlayer (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b007r6vx/glastonbury) and have the full first day on.

Apparently Dua Lipa killed on the Pyramid stage last night.

Been watching a few of the videos. Dua really has her thing down pat. The moves are awesome.

Coldplay epic, Fix you with the special guest, just perfect.

Mike Skinner looked off his head.

I got into her after hearing 'Don't start now' but I've been all over her since she released "Houdini"

What I've seen on youtube from Glastonbury it looked like she nailed it.

I'd take her over Tay Tay anyday

Good idea or else you'll have to wait until 2027.

Good luck. We've tried twice - it's worse than demand for the Taylor Swift. 200,000 tickets gone in 10 minutes. Will still keep trying.

The Glastonbury crowd looks like the queue at the deli counter of a home counties Waitrose these days.

Understandable given the tickets are 355 pounds.

Personal highlight was seeing Paul Heaton singing Caravan of Love.

yeah haha i'm aware. one of our crew has tried 4 years in a row. this year we're banking on strength in numbers. trying to get two lineups into one for next year, gotta go all out to try get tickets.

It's kinda weird to hear that. I used to live 25 miles from Glastonbury, and went plenty of times, probably seven or eight. you just bought a ticket, and pitched up. I'm not so near now, but I've never felt much enthusiasm since it became a circus over getting tickets, and what little I see on TV doesn't come close to memories of the past.
