  1. The mud. That's the killer. Anyone wishing for nowt but sun needs being banned.
  2. Just had a look back at previous line ups down the years. Been everyone since 94. Early ones, for me are stacked. Epic events. The later ones, which includes last 10 I guess, I actually wonder wtf I was doing. Handful acts each year. Hilarious... Now of course consideration of my age etc, the obvious thing I notice is how 'genres' change. So many acts seem to be, well really generic safe pop. Not alternative like I consider. I mean alternative and indie has been pop (I hate that word btw). What my saying... No idea. Genuinely say there is nothing I will see on pyramid. Perhaps Bristol reggae thing, forgot its name. But that's first thing... I likely doubt I'll get there. Itll be great no doubt of course. And besides, the weather is the most important thing anyway 😜
  3. Not missed one since 94. I now think I only keep going because the fear of missing out. Im not convinced I can keep doing it. I genuinely consider the festival is coming around too quickly! 😳

    Thought this thread had been banned or removed it was so far down in pages. I have always needed the collective will of NFRNFC to prevent the fear I live with on the lead up x
  5. Not sure the theme of the thread and execution has been successful. Just appears a lot people getting old and wanting to tell other people what they should and shouldn't like. I do however have a big fkin issue with those who say mud is good. Ya planks
  6. Can't bring myself to watch anything that reminds me of having to que Wednesday morning. Trauma inducing 😫
  7. Probably mentioned already 2hats but temperature is not weather. Anything dry all weekend I will snap thee hands off!
  8. Big on Bristol sound. Lots DNB Born On Road all the crew. Eva Lazarus - hoping with Munos Hi-fi Check out Jinx In Dub. Listen to GLASTONBURY - ARCADIA 2011. by Jinx In Dub on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/Hp4J7
  9. Kojey Radical 🧨🧨
  10. Every year since 94 but that's not half the festivals (I think, I dunno). So it's got to be at least before then surely??
  11. Tis a yearly discussion this one. Few things to add. Firstly, that the evolution of the festival has always been in transit. I recall how much resistance there was to dance music seeping into festival in the early 90s. It had stared before, but really began to be a force around this time. I recall my older friends complaining festival had lost its soul and was no longer the alternative festival of indie and underground. Then Britpop, and all the so called negative elements that came with it. Ultimately it was a younger generation of music fans and the previous generation didn't take it too well. 'Not as good as it used to be' is an age old saga. We are by nature a nostalgic bunch. It's a young persons game and we hate to let go. On a macro scale, festival decline and the loss of other festivals, is in line with the view that the younger generation, that all festivals need, don't want to see 15 or 20 year indie/rock bands. There are other festivals for this where you take your campervan and caravans as attendees can't sleep in tents at their age πŸ˜„ Every year I say I'm too old for this shit. And I probably am...
