camp high, definitely take wellies and check out the bread and roses on Thursday night if you are there. We had a great night there a couple of years back.

I wouldn't rush. [MENTION=27125]Wrong-Direction[/MENTION] and [MENTION=25123]SIMMO SAYS[/MENTION] are a bit behind schedule...

Wonder if they will play Lilly The Pink

IKEA stadia, maybe a couple of bolts missing

I learned many years ago to always camp on high ground at festivals.

I’ve seen novices pitching their tent right next to a fence which obviously was going to be used as a urinal for the next five days.....

Indeed. We had a good spot and didn't come off anywhere near as badly as some folk.
I remember one photo of the portaloos upending and spilling out into one of the camping fields.

Of course it is and better for it. Like any decent music/art, it has to be pretentious to overcome the negativity it'll face for being different.

Could Glastonbury finally see the phenomenal Billie Eilish discussed on NSC? (No way I'm starting a new thread. )

She is on the bill, so I'd be surprised if not...

In all seriousness though, I think she'll be one of the standout sets of the weekend. Other Stage, final day, 50,000 people as the sun goes down. Gutted to be missing it.

Also a plug for Aurora (John Peel Stage, tonight, 19.30-20.30).

Proper singer-songwriter talent. A 21st century Björk. Three albums in. Will still be around in 20 years, I'm sure.

(Depressingly for us oldies, she was born on the day England beat Scotland in Euro 1996)

I still can't make my mind up on her. She seems to split opinion quite violently but I'm still in the Jury's Out camp. Some really good tunes but also feels a bit too pre-packaged and fake, but perhaps that just is the pop world nowadays. Interested to see how her talent develops, but worry that she may burn out.

This is worth watching, and actually a little bit sobering, in terms of what fame came do to anyone, especially someone very young;

Yeah she's great, a songwriting partner of the brilliant TR/ST, Canadian dark electro pop.
