I had a quick Google and the drinks lists I could find for Glastonbury were fairly uninspiring I have to say.
I would like to think you could get a good pint of cider or ale in there somewhere given the location but appears you’d have to go looking for it.
Meanwhile the Co-op Live venue I mentioned popped up in my search too. £8.95 for a Guinness! 330ml alcohol free lager at £6.50. Makes Glastonbury look like Wetherspoons.
Expecting change from £7 for a pint at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club does seem optimistic. Probably not much more than shrapnel back down Plough Lane.
Those who go will know what to expect but why should anyone have to tolerate being in a fug of skunk stink ?
Just had a look at the line up. There’s nobody I would cross the road to watch. Even The National who I ‘discovered’ via Boxer in 2007 haven’t kicked on since then.
The whole thing is unrecognisable from the original event. It’s now mainstream, and full of acts who wouldn’t have gone anywhere near the place when it started, and the same goes for the audience. Massively bigger, but better?
PJHarvey just been on. Wonderful as ever. Bombay Bicycle Club were good. But a lot of it I couldn’t listen to.
I wouldn’t go to Glastonbury if Mercury, Lennon and Hendrix came back from the dead. I think I’d watch it on TV though.
Found out SZA is pronounced Scissor ( or Scizza…)
Thanks Moe. I wondered why I’d never heard of him/her/they or whatever when they mentioned the name the other day. But I have read the letters SZA and just thought probably another rapper
Hasn’t Glastonbury had its thunder stolen by Taylor Swift this year? She has sold out Murrayfield, Anfield and Wembley Stadium three times each and is playing at Wembley five more times later in the summer.
Glastonbury would love to have her rather than Dua Lipa or SZA but she doesn’t need it.
Glastonbury ticket £355 for the weekend, Swift £60-£200 for a few hours. I doubt Glastonbury can afford her! She simply isn’t my thing so I know what I’d rather spend my money on but good luck to her.
Given just how big she is at the moment I’d say she could almost be too big for Glastonbury but I am sure they wouldn’t turn her down given the chance.
I did actually watch a couple of her videos and they were really good. First one I watched I thought, hang on, that’s HAIM in it. I first remember hearing of her when she did some music for The Hunger Games, my favourite film at the time. She really is a cut above people that do similar music.
Idles on BBC4, leading the crowd in chants of ‘f*** the king’ and ‘ceasefire now’. That’s much more Glastonbury.
