Glasto Wishlist - Part 4

The acts are starting to be confirmed :)

The Rolling Stones are nearly playing, and the previously forlorn hope of David Bowie playing Glasto ever again were boosted incredibly by the surprise release of a new single this month.

Looking to bands other than those on my 'Bands I must see before I die' list... here's a fingers crossed for the World Stage. Yes I know it's not called that anymore, but it is the World Stage. It *is*.

Hermeto Pascoal would be an amazing sight. The brazilian Santa-esque musician has been writing the most complicated yet uplifting music for decades. I saw him live around 8 years ago, and would love to see him playing the World Stage.

Here he is doing his thing.

Glasto 2013


A week ago, after a difficult gig with a broken hand and precious little sleep following a minor plumbing incident, I found myself sat at this computer doing the old F5 mambo.

That's right - Glasto ticket buying time.

Every year I get so stressed with it, moan about what a headache it is trying to get through, having a zillion screens open, running an spare laptop on a different browser (just in case) and hoping and praying I get my tickets now and don't have to go through all of this again in April.

I was lucky. I got my two tickets with 6 minutes to spare, after over an hour 'n' half of exhausted refreshing and crashing input screens. Seetickets are just not up to the job, I really don't know why Glasto persist with them.

My heart goes out to all who desperately wanted tickets, and didn't manage to get them. I'll cross my fingers for you for April.

Here are my ideal headliners. Yes, Kylie is on the list. What of it?

I'll be mostly more Glastonbury 2013 wishlists in the coming months.
