what was once a glastonbury warm up festival has now turned in to a full on dress rehearsal, bloody love this festival.

Mr brightside Sex on fire Dakota just so sick of hearing them.

I see beans is back so he could be curating a day at the woodlands again, he seems to get on well with the new owners. I really enjoyed the Saturday afternoon in the woodlands this year.

How did people find the queue this year, i'm not sure if i timed it right but didn't have a problem apart from a little wait on the thursday.

lottery winners in the greenpeace area. does anyone know if the red arrows are paid to fly past.

This Glastonbury 2023 was just about on the boarder of what i consider value for money for my personal music tastes. If the line-up starts moving too far away from what i consider worthy of my cash i will just do more smaller festivals. But there is also that emotional attachment to the place which would be hard to break but a few like 2016 (weather wise) and line ups that don't suit could see that attachment break.

The old layout with the cafe and cafe stage down the right hand side was a better layout for me. Its lost that old summer fate kind of feel to it and the lack of food vendors didn't help. I'm sure the priority has been given to selling more drink from the avalon inn than the feel of the place. I suppose its just the way how the priority's of the festival are slowly changing.

First time seeing them tonight for me, won't be the last.

All set up in cv East. Anyone worried about the cv fields don't be. This mornings rain has made the grass a bit slippy at worst but the ground is still solid. Everyone's driving in without help.

We are on the highwaymen car park shepton mallet. The thunder woke me up. Sounds awful outside.

Probably at the forefront of the family's mind with Michael being unwell.

I met him in the wall of death in 2011. didn't realize he was stud next to me till i overheard him laughing. then in 2019 i was watching skinny lister in the avalon on sunday afternoon when the front man dan told a story how they where late arriving and only just made it. he said if it wasn't for Michael giving them a lift from the main gate the band wouldn't of made it. Dan then said so thanks for the lift Michael and waved to his right, when i turned to see who he waved at Michael had drove the front of his landrover into the tent and was watching from the drivers seat. after the set he posed for selfies and shook hands with whoever wanted too.

could be we stand together. looks like a drawing of something higher up the field a fist maybe.

WE STAND
