Glastonbury 2023 #2 because we haven't finished talking about music yet

Actually, I see Liam Gallagher is touring next year, you don't think it would be him do you? or he could persuade Noel to get back together for one gig?

I’m older than you and whilst I’ve heard of her (she’s massive on Spotify) neither me nor any of our 5 kids (13-28) can name a track

I’ve been to Kendall calling and didn’t like it, it felt a bit like Reading and Leeds lite, there was a death in the campsite (drugs) and lots of blokes pissing against fences.

Have you looked at Deer Shed? Whilst it doesn’t get the big names, it’s very family friendly and the campsites allow you to pre book pitches, I’ve also done Camp Bestival with the kids which was fun but a pain to get to (don’t know what their new site in Shropshire is like)

Oh god, did enough of Reading and Leeds when I was younger

I’ve actually never heard of Deer Shed and I love visiting North Yorkshire so will check it out. The line up for this year looks good but my baby is 5 months so won’t be doing it until next year

Who do we think it will be now? Beyoncé

If it’s Dua Lipa, Coldplay and Madonna then I don’t think I’d have gone to see any of them! Bit gutted Gerry Cinnamon is doing the festival circuit this summer because I’m assuming he will be at Glasto and that would be amazing!

Had a feeling it would be Coldplay...

I've been lurking on this thread and thinking about a festival for next year to take our two children to (aged 12 and 8). One of our children is disabled so we would need a festival with good access - we would be using a wheelchair. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good family friendly festival that's not on an absolutely massive site, and might be ok with a wheelchair? We have been to Latitude for a few years now which has reasonable access but the access campsite is really close to several stages which is ok during the day but in the evening none of us got any sleep! Ideally we want somewhere close but protected from the noise. And the moon on a stick, so it would seem... I saw some earlier chat on here about Kendal Calling which sounds good, does anyone have any insight into the access here?

I remember just rocking up to the local record shop to buy my tickets in the 90s, no ballot or queues.

Me too, carried on going until about 2013 or something like that and then decided I'd rather go to 2 or 3 smaller ones for the same price. Rarely used to watch the headliners even when I did go though, almost always better stuff on elsewhere but you'd never know that from the TV coverage

I am expecting massive changes since I was last there!

You’ll have a blast!

The Killers surely doing glasto next year looking at their tour dates

And Avril

Same here, I think it’s really dodgy that they shut the sale down exactly an hour in to it, some people saying it’s cos they’ve kept lots back for resale cos of the registration f up, we can only hope!
Or I’m telling myself it’s about time they had a muddy year, we can just stay at home and be smug!

I don’t know whether to try in the resale or just go to a different festival. They need to do a ballot system tbh but as long as they’re selling out, they don’t really care who got a ticket and who didn’t.

From someone who lives locally Glastonbury was fab in the 90’s but unfortunately they’ve got too greedy and the ticketing system is a farce! Michael eavis has handed it off to his daughter and she’s not very nice. Her 2 brothers always had the funds from the merchandising but she’s now cut them out.

So who’s trying in the morning?
