    Hey im afraid the lads are getting the 06.45 plane to bristol which isn't any use to you.

    Check out the lad a few pictures down with all the drink. I like his style!

    One last shameless plug! If anyone is up by early on the Friday morning come check out The Riptide Movement. We're on the Acoustic Stage at 12. Cheers. A quick taster of what to expect:

    Anyone any idea where the ticket pick-up point is? I have to pick mine up tomorrow, but can't find any reference to it on the map.

    Hope to catch some of your set anyway, best of luck, should be fun.

    Beady Eye now playing at 11 on the Other Stage, great news but tough on smaller bands who maybe clashing, lucky you guys are at 12!

    just a reminder that 6 stages are live streaming on the BBC site:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ej58q9

    might have to install the MediaHint extension in Firefox/Chrome for the stream to work outside the UK.
    i think they're all on the Red button on BBC on TV too, and there's highlights/some live stuff on BBC1-4 tonight too.

    I haven't followed them that closely in the last few years, but Alex Turner used to be cool. Whats with the new accent? He came across like an complete knobhead last night.

    If he's trying to play some part of some sort on stage, it's not working.

    He looked very odd, I'm not sure whats going on in his head but he does look like extremely weird.

    Crap grime merchant Wiley quit Glastonbury before playing, tweeting about the low fees, and the rain.. (Glastonbury give most of their profits to charity, and don't overpay the artists)
    "The grime star's earlier negative tweets have since disappeared, but he had made his feelings perfectly clear before hitting the 'delete' button. "Soon as I land …Rain ffs," he began, before adding several tweets later: "**** it life goes on but I am pissed. Glastonbury ain’t paying me enough to leave my comfort zone …tight bastards."

    Any ideas as to the Rolling Stones will have as special guests on stage tonight? My guess is Adele and either McCartney or even Bowie. They have had some amazing guests on their tour so if they are going down that route tonight they would pull something big out of the bag

    Didn't adele say that she would never do festivals? Some kind of stage fright with outdoor shows etc

    Agree about Alex turner. He seems to be going through some kind of personality clash with himself. What was with the cabaret voice he was putting on? Have seen them live though and they really do make a whopper noise.
