Hi Everyone! Missed out on tickets this year for the first time since 2002!

I’ve entered every competition under the sun but no luck, until now.

WaterAid are running a competition to design a temporary tattoo, and my design has been shortlisted among five finalists. The winner wins a ticket!

If you can spare a few seconds, please vote for design 1 (mine) below! There is another pair of tickets up for grabs for anybody who votes.

Ta!

So strong rumours that the Churnups are Foo Fighters...

So strong rumours that the Churnups are Foo Fighters...

What a way to kick off a festival.

[damomad]

Was hoping it was Pulp but still reckon they’ll be there too.

Foo fighters will pull a huge crowd, their set in 2017 was fantastic.

Pulp could do Woodsies?

[Trada]

A rumour going around on Fromes Facebook that Eminem may be planning to do a warm-up gig at Fromes Cheese and Grain.

Always happens this time of year when its close to Glastonbury mind you the rumours were right about the Foo Fighters and Paul McCartney who played there, the only one I managed to get into was when The Editors did one.

it will be interesting to see if the rumour turns out to be true.

[damomad]

Not long now...

Anyone have any good recommendations of acts not on the main stages to look out for?

Cat Burns - Woodsies at 3.30pm Sunday. Saw her on Jools Holland, she’s good.

Just noticed there’s someone called DJ Absolutely Shit, I’m intrigued just for the name.

great name. If it turns out they are, then no one can say they weren’t warned!

Arctic Monkeys have cancelled their gig tomorrow night in Dublin. Hope Alex recovers in time for the weekend as it could be a set for the ages that 1

Definitely Los Bitchos, otherwise enjoyed Louis Cole, The Comet is Coming and Viagra Boys live the past couple of years.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Full set times,

One of the stages has Daniel Avery, Max Cooper, Helena Hauff and Ben Bohmer on consecutively, many of you probably won't have heard of them, but fans of electronic music will, saw Max Cooper live in February and he was outstanding.

If you like folk music, then Cara Dillon. Love her voice.

Already got Daniel Avery and Helena Hauff on my want to see list, just need to convince the missus to come with me to see them which will be difficult because she hates that sort of music

[Zeppelin]

I'd second that recommendation - she has the voice of an angel!

[Buck Pete]

Just looking at the lineup.  I think id be at the Acoustic Stage on Friday night if I was there

Steve Earle followed by the Saw Doctors. 

After Saw Doctors, it's then over to the Avalon Stage for The Damned.

Will the Acoustic and Avalon Stages be available to watch live on BBC coverage do you know?

Looking forward to Blondie on Sunday early evening. Great stuff.

Depends on the band more than the stage, some refuse to allow a live feed & only release after the engineers have done their magic.

Knowing the Beeb they'll put some exclusively on their youtube channel to dive up subs.

[John C]

No mate - BBC iPlayer will be streaming each of the five filmed stages – Pyramid, Other, Woodsies, Park and West Holt.

I was a bit gutted las year missing a few bands on stages other than the above.

[BarryCrocker]

The Pretenders have just been announced as one of Glastonbury’s secret acts
The English-American band has revealed they will be performing on Saturday, 19:45 BST, at The Park Stage. The band also teased some special guests though their identities have not been disclosed.

“It’s always been there for most of our lifetimes. There has never been a festival like it anywhere else,” lead singer Chrissie Hynde said.

Is he playing the festival ?

[damomad]

Highly doubtful at this late stage in the day, pretty much all the secret acts are accounted for. Among them are Hozier and Rick Astley with Blossoms doing covers of the Smiths. Won't be anywhere near either of those.

[jackh]

Seems a shame that Alvvays aren't playing Glastonbury this year, after the success of their third album last year - they toured the UK & Europe last autumn and again about a month ago, so the timing wouldn't have been far off.

Got a long weekend booked, so looking forward to getting in front of the tele for plenty of this over the next few days.

[Fiasco]

Anybody done a drive from the north west down to Glastonbury? Is it a nightmare, perhaps more so when you get close to the site?

It's not that bad at all on the way in my experience, and the way back depends entirely on how much you've 'enjoyed' your weekend. I guess different arrival times will be busier etc. but last time I did it I got in on the Thursday evening about 7ish I think and it was sound. The journey back was the worst experience of my life but that was absolutely nothing to do with the traffic etc.

[Craig Mac]

First year since 2012 I won't be there, and I won't lie its already killing me,

[ToneLa]

http://Www.bbc.co.uk/events/glastonbury/webcam

Great Webcam, can scan it left and right zoom in etc. seeing Pyramid stage area

Updates every so often not a live thing but good to be able to look in on it when I'm stuck at work

[Trada]

I've never heard of them before but Im enjoying Pale Waves set

[Bincey]

Well the Louis Cole set certainly didnt disappoint.

[Trada]

 The Churn Ups play the main stage at 6.15 rumours on Twitter that its the Foo Fighters

[mikey_LFC]

How do you manage to sort tickets each year?

[jackh]

The Churn Ups play the main stage at 6.15 rumours on Twitter that its the Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters certainly seem the most likely, though I've also heard/read a few suggest it could be Pulp.

There's also a TBC slot at 6pm tomorrow on the newly-named 'Woodsies' stage.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

Gabriels on West Holt, just brilliant

[Trada]

Yes The Foo Fighters

[Pistolero]

Not really a fan, but Foo Fighters are fuckin boss here.... kick-started the festival after what's been lacklustre start for me ...

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Foo Fighters always put on a great show. Outstanding here as usual.

[Rob Dylan]

Chvrches on the Other Stage at the moment, feel like they're an underrated band.

[Trada]

A massive crowd for them

And Royal Blood have to follow them after their rant about the crowd not knowing rock music and storming off stage at radio 1

[John C]

I missed the Foo-fighters, will catch them tomorrow.
Meanwhile get on some Joey Badass.

[Pistolero]

Good luck to Royal Blood trying to follow that 😁
