Change of Allegiance

[Ben.]

In the Uk and loads of us where trying to get Glastonbury Festival tickets… we where talking online at the same time… the festival ticket site had crashed and the phone lines where collapsing (link http://www.nme.com/news/108067.htm OR http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3595387.stm ) … at about nine pm I suggested it was a really bad April fools… sadly it was not…  of course we didnt not a get a freaking ticket despite most of us being up and on line from 8pm till 4am! We found somewhere else up in Scotland (T in the park festival and the line up is way better)… but if ya want an April fools day that has gotta be one of the worst… dame hippy farmer and his faulty phone lines!

Lol, "damn hippie farmer" - suck it to Michael Eavis!

Pretty much what me and my friends where saying all night as well...

Headliners this year where...

Paul McCartney

Oasis

Muse

Not great but these where also playing... Kings of Leon, Libertines, Franz Ferdinand, Morrissey, PJ Harvey,  James Brown, Black Rebel Motor cycle club... oh well...

Got Tickets for T in the park as i can go to that as opposed to Reading and Leeds which are too late in the year for me (back in the US)...

Went to Glasto last year REM, Radiohead... Interpol, Radio 4, Kings of Leon, Flaming Lips, David Gray, Mogwai, Cooper Temple Clause, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Darkness,  Idlewild, Brendan Benson, Supergrass, Jools Holland, The Polyphonic Spree, Turin Brakes, The Coral, The Libertines, The Thrills, Goldfrap....

[gasps for breath]

Then again last year was much better than this year.... i say that now and suddenly a host of really great bands confirm themselves topped off by a “surprise” appearance by U2... that would be my luck

T in the park is better though… plus I get to see Scotland for the first time!
