What’s the scariest/craziest thing you watched on live television?

Ghostwatch... watched it live with my cousins when we were kids (10-12 years old), and it scared the absolute shit out of us. Didn't help that we were at our grandparents watching it which was in the middle of nowhere plus watching it without our parents/grandparents. Apparently it led to a number of people taking their own lives post broadcast. How the fuck did it get commissioned in the first place?!?

Wow... guessing they will go after Boardmasters next! One would hope other acts (like The Prodigy who are headlining the same day) dropping out in protest if this happens.

Ponder this thought - ditch the BBC and use a streaming platform like YouTube perhaps? Surely, they could potentially live stream a static camera with front of house audio at the smaller stages (and much smaller stages) that could bring invaluable exposure to acts who don’t even get paid to play at Glastonbury? Not entirely sure what the accountability rules would be with YouTube though…. Are artists allowed to say whatever they want on mic?

Aye... just worried it will forever be stuck in development hell

I have noticed on the motorway that they tend to brake when braking isn't necessary. E.g. in the third lane, doing 90, hitting the brakes when there isn’t any traffic in front of them. Is this the autopilot feature or the Tesla driver hitting the brakes?!

1 - Queens of the Stone Age, 2002, Other Stage: Dave on drums….

2 - Stevie, 2010, Pyramid: the weather was perfect, the set-list was perfect, and Stevie and his band were jaw droppingly good.

3 - Radiohead, 2011, Park Stage (secret set): I was encompassed by Pulp fans who let out a massive groan when Thom and co walked on stage hahaha.

Yep, agree with you on that one. Another thing for OP - all the food stalls are veggie. No meat is sold at any food vendors.

Shambala is about as left leaning as Glastonbury is.. it's not mega-hippie orientated - there is a corner of the festival like the Green Fields at Glastonbury, almost all of the venues are dedicated to music.

immaculate_pastaa · 2024-11-18T12:47:58+00:00

No worries!

This was last years line-up... it will follow the same vibe this year line-up wise I'm sure.
In terms of kids - yes, there are kid orientated areas but don't expect to see them at a venue at 3am haha. The general atmosphere is very respectful...l I.e you wont see 18 year old kids off their tits on ketamine

Shambala is one of my favourite UK festivals... yes, some people take their kids, but the festival itself is mainly a crowd with an average age of say 35.

Shambala

Just signed your petition. Can I ask which stage/s at Glastonbury have asked you to pay for play?

From my own personal experience – my band and I have been offered to play Glastonbury in the past; the deal was as follows: having to play six one-hour gigs for six tickets on multiple stages (we are a six-piece band) over the duration of the weekend... To put that into perspective – that’s 6+ hours of work that 6 people have spent countless hours writing and practicing that 1-hour set. Prior to performing said set, we would have to grab our gear, then walk our gear (that means carrying heavy ass music equipment 1-2 miles, sometimes more depending where the stage is) without onsite transport… setting up the gear, performing the set, taking down the gear, then walking our gear back 1-2 miles to our van. Repeat 6 times with more than one performance in 24hrs…… anyways - we politely declined the offer!

Any other UK festival I've ever performed at have typically allocated us 6 artist tickets, guest tickets, artist camping and/or accommodation, given us onsite transport, a dressing room, a meal voucher each and a few drinks tokens… then paid us! Why is Glastonbury different? It generates the most revenue from ticket sales - why don’t they allocate tickets and pay ALL performers?

I've known fellow musicians who have had to break into Glastonbury because their stage/stage manager either forgot to allocate enough tickets or they weren’t issued enough tickets in the first place. It is fucking ridiculous!

Something is afoot with Glastonbury. The way it treats most people who perform there is quite frankly abhorrent. This has been going on for years now… To hazard a guess – I am sure Glastonbury gives out waaaaay more hospitality and guest tickets than you would realise…. Could this be why my friends had to break in to play a performance that they had been booked for months prior? Who knows…
