Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

by DiS News
Hello, it's thursday afternoon and DiS is preparing for Glastonbury... so before we go, here's some snippets of news and info... Firstly, we're pretty gutted to report that Ryan Adams has pulled out of appearing on the Sunday due to illness. Apparently it's an ear infection. We've no idea whether he's going to fulfill his other UK commitments next week, but it seems unlikely...

Weather wise, it was super-warm on site today and is still likely to be quite warm and humid on Friday. However, there's the distinct possibility of some very heavy showers during Friday morning before it turns drier, fresher and cooler during the afternoon. BBC Weather, our new festival meterological gods tell us that you can expect some light rain to drift across the site during the afternoon, but this should clear before the bigger bands take to the stages during the evening. Sunday is expected to be dry and bright without being particularly warm.

Which, if you were at Glasto at the tail end of the nineties, or even last year, is positively wonderful weather.

DiS-wise, there's some sort of clever Martha Wainwright action on the go, with her performing on every stage available - check it...

Saturday 25th June
1300 Acoustic Stage
1500 Greenpeace Dazed & Confused Stage 20 minute set

Sunday 26th June
1130 Other Stage
1400 Guardian Lounge, 30 minute set.
1800 BBC Tent, playing live on BBC2. Duet with Rufus.

We should also take a second to big up the Square Pie tent/Lock Tavern pub thing which will have secret guests performing late at night. Proper, decent bands like. Which is cool. Go search it out. That's our tip. Oh, and mushrooms...

Hard-Fi have been moved from 240 on the John Peel stage on Sunday to 730.

anyone got a spare ticket for me?

What exactly is the point of this article? Those who have got tickets will already be there, and so will not read it, and those who haven't will only hate those who have more.

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

Well, some people leave Friday morning and we're not going 'til after Wireless.
Plus people read DiS via Wap and stuffs. And there are little internet cafes at the festival...

"Square Pie tent/Lock Tavern"

Christ, surely not the Lock Tavern in Camden? I've never understood how that place gets so much attention while being so very very average.

The Spread Eagle - now THERE's a Camden watering hole.

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

Hate that bloody pub...so pretentious...

Spread Eagle: great pub! My Grandad's favourite pub as well....shame they only do Stella though

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

You drink Stella there? Heathen.

PILS! YOUNG'S PILS! Beautiful lager. That's why I go there.

And given you can get a four pint jug for £7.50 it's good value too.

Also the local for the Withnail and I writer, when he wrote it.

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

well I don't really as I tend to go to the Dublin mostly but I'm afraid I'm not a fan of Youngs..my Great Uncle loves it but not me...sorry..

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

I like the beer garden. But then they do sell Leffe and square pies.

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

anyone know what bands played on this stage - i only caught a couple of crappy ones

and the pies rock - everyone HAS to go to spitalfields market to check out the square pie shop

I feel that Martha could welll be THE artist to go stratosphere off the back of Glasto this year...

don't the photos make you feel better that we're at work and all these cunts are at Glastonbury?? ha ha ha I tell you, nothing finer than bad weather at a festival you're not at

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

Not a very honourable sentiment, schadenfreude..

Don't understand the fuss about seeing Martha Wainwright though. Nearly fell asleep when I saw her, not in the league of her dad or bro..


Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

absolutely awesome, i went on this in the morning but they've added photos of people neck-deep in water since then.

i've never been bothered about going to glasto though.

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

OK, i wish i could have gone now... just to go see Martha on all those stages...

oh and the kaiser chiefs, whose set was amazing yesterday... and bloc party and the white stripes and The Zutons and Be Your Own Pet and MIA (who is Awesome)!

Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Martha

I watched a bit of MIA's set on tv.

Shit.

I wouldn't feel so bad if there was horrible rain at Glasto and all the goers got soaked.

But since its probably raining harder here than it is over there, I'm doubly ticked!!

The Birmingham Academy site says

"RYAN ADAMS - This show has NOT been cancelled"

hoorah (if anyone cares)

Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Mar

I went. Friday was insane. I have never heard thunder like that in my life. Hearing it... for SIX hours... in a tent... is something else. The rest of the day was spent in shellshock and I hated it. Saturday and Sunday were absolutely fantastic.

And incidentally, Hard-Fi didn't play at all - one of their mothers is ill. Please don't make any jokes.

Re: Glasto a go go - last minute news, weather and Mar

as one of the people who was working 12 hr shifts as a security guard for my ticket, I can honestly assure you that it was probably worse standing on a metal path next to a big metal tower, with a radio in your hand telling you exactly where the lightening had hit and that it was heading in your direction ...

But I'd rather have been at glasto than anywhere else this weekend. Did anyone else catch lou rhodes (the vocalist from lamb) on the small world stage late on friday? Amazing
