DAMMIT. I hate being American.

I'm right there with you. It's a bit too much money to roll the dice on this show.
Insane line up though.

What a pitiful collection of has-beens & also-rans. The only one of these people not ready to draw his pension is a privileged white boy with dreadlocks. Edgy.

I dunno why they didn't go the whole hog and include Cliff Richard. Perhaps he's on standby for when Morrissey cancels. Will deckchairs & rugs be provided, or do we bring our own?

Um, Isle of Wight anyone?

This is just like that.

He wont show probably, unfortunately.

Isle of Wight anyone? He didnt show to that and wont show to this.

DO NOT was your money on plane tix etc, he is just going to say at last minute that he didn't confirm, etc.

He wont be there unfortunately.

Yep, almost as bad as being Mexican

You're not a real hamster.

You're someone who I think, on balance, I hate more than anyone who's ever lived. And you're worse than Skeletor.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

I saw that Bryan Ferry is playing on Friday.

This is huge! Why isnt there more excitement? I'm sure he'll show up, it's all official nowt isn't it...

"the promoter reserves the right change the line up without having to give a refund"

Think i'll wait......£212 down the shitter otherwise.

Check out this website, they're running a coach from London to the festival site and back again, looks like it's only about 20 quid on top of the ticket price. http://www.biggreencoach.co.uk/hopfarmfestival

f*** me watch out for the plastic cups sorry but get f***ed

 

[bluemozz]

Just booked my tickets.He will show for this. None-corporate/line-up (which I am sure he would have had an input with - apart from Bryan Ferry - the hunter!!!) Ferry is on the Friday though, so fingers crossed. I last posted after the Liverpool debacle and I stick by him - he will make a triumphant return with a great line-up.

 

[MozVegan9]

DAMMIT. I hate being American.

Things like these make me feel that same sentiment... *sigh

 

[hand in glove]

Oh my...I feel such happiness that he's under new management, is preparing for this show, and the possibility of more shows...well, I'm hoping for a tour, anyway. I can't travel to England for this, but if I could I would without a second thought! I have faith he'll be there. This is so exciting - especially for all who get to attend

DAMMIT. I hate being American.

I don't hate being an American; I hate lacking funds for huge trips like this one.
