[Loz]

And 7 until I leave my job!

It is a good time.

[c s]

congratulations.

[MUX]

heard that the prodigy cancelled.. true?

[karitek]

does anyone know what is up with the travellers field??

[Loz]

@MUX

Have they? Oh well, they're not really on my list of people I really want to see anyway.

Apparently the Leeds part of the Carling Festival's been cancelled, which was the only part (there is also a pretty much identical lineup at Reading the same weekend, all part of the Carling Festival) that Guns'n'Roses were on the lineup.

Full story here: http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_610395.html?menu=entertainm ent.latestheadlines

As my friend says, perhaps he should hold a festival in 2 locations, say that The Pixies and The Smiths are reforming for one of them, then fuck up the license application, and get it all cancelled.

[MUX]

shit.......................... .............................. .................
missed it

[c s]

what is rod stewart doing there, headlining ? i always thought that today he's only popular in places like germany, preferably among 'older audience'...

[MUX]

he is a post-dated sex-god
seeing him there.. i wonder why the elf of pop aka. cliff richards ain playin...

[Loz]

Cliff Richard was on UK Daytime show 'Celebrity Ready Steady Cook' today. Very odd, thought he'd be above that. Usually they stick to soap stars and c-listers.

[Loz]

Not many new bands in the new bands tent, though.

Perhaps it's the tent that's new, not the bands.

[Yer_Maw]

ah cant wait for my first glasto. what can i expect in the way of good techno cos as far as i can see theres none. are there parties that go on at nite or what? where should i be headin?

There is no Traveller's Field, check here for more details of this year's Glastonbury Festival, brought to you in association with the good folks from Mean Fiddler (ahem)

<http://headheritage.com/uknow/features/index.php?id=36>

and here is a letter of request from Mr Eavis himself...

<http://www.glastonbury-festivals.co.uk/2002/michaelsletter.html>

I don't want to go jumping to any conclusions or spoiling people's mood, but I really haven't the foggiest what this year's Glastonbury is going to be like... I hope it all goes well for everyone going...

[karitek]

i highly doubt that there will not be a traveller's field. it might not be right next to the festival as in previous years, but i am sure that they will have some freeparty nearby (i think rumours are that it will be like 4 or 5 miles away). i dunno - i plan (as well as most ppl i know) on goin to the traveller's field with no real intention of jumping the psycho-militaristic fence into the main part of the festival (there aren't even that many acts in the main bit that i really want to see...). i was just curious what other people who have contact with rigs outside of london had heard about the site.

[JE:5]

Yep, apparently there is a site a few miles from babylon, not excactly sure where yet though. We are taking a rig and plenty of vehicles anyway.

[Marolo]

i'd love to see Techno Animal in the dance tent but I don't have a ticket unfortunately but I'm going to see them at the ICA on thursday. Anyone else going?
I have the following info phone numbers for a 'fuck-glastonbury festival' party: 07050601945/07092230023
i got these numbers from the 'rupture' fanzine, they also add the following comment: "glastonbury is turning into a high-security stockade with some music amidst the rampant commercialism. Fuck it off this year and join the party nearby"
I have no idea where they are going to do it but people will probably start going there on wednesday/thurday.
