Glastonbury?

Any idea whether GA are playing Glasto this year? Would love it!

I can see they're in the UK supporting the boss over that weekend.

?

It's not listed on their myspace so I wouldn't think they were playing Glasto.

For me, Download is where it's at and the second stage at Leeds. If only I had tickets. Too much Coldplay at Glasto for me although Bruce brightens it up.
Every year, we get my grandparents from Somerset complaining about Glasto and those 'ruddy topless women in them there fields'. Their words not mine.

Agreed, which is why i'm annoyed exams clash with it this year!! lineup's so much better compared to 08..

But who knows if Gaslight will end up playing Glasto. They've not announced the full lineup yet have they?

I was told they're announcing the full Glasto lineup this weekend. Benicassim looks awesome this year.

They're playing Oxegen (Ireland) and T in The Park (Scotland) on the weekend on the 12 of July (I'm fiarly sure that's the date, but don't quote me on it). So if they have a sister festival in England playing that weekend it'll more than likely be that. Or they'll head to the continent.

AFAIK Bruce is playing Hard Rock Calling which is like a mini-fest itself, so they mightn't be playing/allowed to play an other English festivalk this year.

Bruce is also headlining Glasto, so hopefully they hitch a ride down there with him.

Dunno looking at their dates thus far 26th they are in Switzerland then 28th for Hyde park with Bruce. That leaves a day to fly to London drive to glasto play then get back logistically pushing it?

Anyway Reading/Leeds has the best punky bands this year the lock up stage line up was enough to stop me selling my ticket as there where only 3 other bands I wanted to see outside that stage. Bestival has the best line up of any festival this year so far cant wait to get along to that.

According to this link:

http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/

They are playing Glasto, the John Peel Stage, on the Saturday (June 27th).

Gutted I'm not going now!

So glad that they're there, it'll be my first time seeing them. Cannot wait!

Yep. They're playing it. On their myspace it says so.

Telling everyone who I know who's going (in excited tone) "Gaslight Anthem are playing- go and see them even if you've never heard them before!"

selected acts are shown on TV last in the evening I think; let's hope TGA are one; not sure if there's a proper TV schedule for it

kicking myself for not getting Glasto tickets they keep announcing great people. d'oh!

You can usually get the whole festival on the 'red button' on the BBC. Not sure exactly but I know I watched the Courteeners via this last year. Looks like it will be the indoor TV festival experience for me this year...

aww join the club! maybe you could put a tent up in your living room and pretend you're there?! if only i didnt live in shared accomodation!

They were brilliant.

These are really superb photos.

Having boutique tipis for hire at that rate though strikes me as neither very hippie nor very rock 'n' roll.

I know a few people who've been and they say once you've been once all you want to do is go back again!!!

wow! those photos are amazing! how the hell do you find your tent tho?!
