Hopeful festival goers joined together in unity this morning to celebrate the great British tradition of queueing for another great British Tradition: Glastonbury Festival. Tickets for the 2024 edition of the yearly music festival went on sale this morning, with tickets costing £360 (£355 with a £5 booking fee per ticket). Music-lovers had to drop £75 on a deposit today before fronting up the rest of their balance in the first week of April 2024. Frantic users joined the 9am GMT queue and waited - but that was far from the end of the story. Fans speculated that tickets would sell-out fast, pointing to the fact that Coach tickets to Worthy Farm sold out on Thursday within just 25 minutes. Thankfully, they lasted quite a lot longer than that - 58 minutes to be exact. Those 58 minutes though, for a lot of people, were spent waiting on the 'screen of death.' Before hopefuls could purchase their ticket, they had to brave the aforementioned Glastonbury ticket queue - a holding page on a timer that automatically refreshes on 20 seconds (or thereabouts) before redirecting the user into a ticket purchasing window, or back into the holding page - or even worse, onto the 9:58am notice saying that tickets have sold out. It was an ordeal. Despite the lucky many who received tickets after waiting in the queue, there were just as many queuers who left empty-handed. And of course, a lot of people left enraged by the waiting room and the technology behind it. This isn't the end though - fans will have one more chance to buy tickets at a resale in the Spring for cancelled or returned tickets. As anyone who joined the queue at 9am and bagged a ticket knows, there's always a bit of hope. As anyone who joined the queue at 9am and was booted out with the 'screen of death' knows, it's the hope that kills you.

Rapper Offset has raised eyebrows and sparked a flurry of memes after sharing a very intimate video of himself and his partner and fellow rapper Cardi B on Instagram. The 31-year-old, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known for hits such as 'Ric Flair Drip' and 'Ghostface Killers' has been married to Cardi B, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus since 2017 and although their relationship is far from perfect they are now at a stage where they can comfortably share their most intimate moments with the world. In the Instagram story, Offset can be seen caressing Cardi's tattooed backside with great affection. With one hand planted firmly on her bottom, his wife asks him: "Did you have a good day?" Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Offset simply replies "Yes" before he adds: "I missed you so much" before the video comes to a swift end. And that is that, however, given the popularity of the two people involved the story has no doubt been watched countless times given the amount of memes that now exist about it. It should be no surprise that the couple's relationship is stronger than ever. In a recent interview with Variety Offset called Cardi B his "bestie" adding "We both are on the same mission to make each other better." Elsewhere, Offset is not the only rapper to recently cause a stir on Instagram. A few weeks ago Kevin Gates sparked alarm when he shared a very graphic video of a woman giving birth in his stories.
