    I’d ask them, looks like a good idea and if it’s free time you can do what you want

    Glasto isn’t like any of the other festivals in that all of the volunteers and other working crews have strict deadlines to be on site due to traffic management etc. the festival licensing dictates that we all need to be in place before the gates open.
  3. Bloody hell, not where I live, the grass has only just started growing properly and we had frosts up till last week, it’s been a long winter
  4. Quite happy with the job I seem to have…even though it doesn’t have a title!

    Not 100% sure yet but expect we’ll be up the hill from Gate B like last year. Tuesday you should be fine, you’ll be done with any admin and training/gate familiarity during the day so you’ll be able to get across to the East CV fields easily enough. Bear in mind that if you’re on an early shift on the Wednesday then you’ll probably be starting at 5am!
  6. Was the bloody drummer there? You could see across the Bristol Channel so I think that’s far enough
  7. Been round the corner all weekend and was up the Tor earlier. Visibility a bloody long way. Ground conditions no worse than damp grass. Tracks not in the slightest bit dusty but I wouldn’t be needing studs if I was playing footy put it that way.
  8. Loaded the car, heading to Somerset in the morning and on site Monday! it’s happening!

    Food prices

    Our local pizza van can’t take any more orders most weekends and it’s bloody great gear! Good luck with the mobile matey!

    Food prices

    Parklife were making traders buy the gear from them to sell. one trader at NBHD said he bought a slab of waters for £5 from Bookers but for PL he had to buy it for £19! Also no tap water available at PL from what I was told. At NBHD it was about 12-15 quid for a main, they were told what price to sell at.
  11. It used to be in Kidney Mead back in the early 90s where I camped. You had the bizarre post sun up of sitting there listening to the sound but couldn’t see the images!

    That’s what I thought. We can always pile back out to the pub 😂

    We’re on site Monday lunch with Festaff, what’s the crack with food stalls etc? Plenty open?
  14. Oh how I’ve missed this for the last 3 years!

    Festaff crew in from Monday morning…lots coming straight from the IoW. We’re staying round the corner near Pylle from Saturday so probably see you up the Tor on Sunday
  16. Just been on the Festaff crew at NBHD. Same sort of food prices and 6quid plus a pint, 2.50 for a can of pop. Vendors had been given a minimum cost to charge. Needless to say the clown asking a fiver for a coffee wasn’t exactly rushed off his feet. One told me that at Parklife they have to buy slabs of drinks off the festival first. Dig deep peasants…
  17. Probably a few times but deffo twice with the Manics. My (now ex) wife was unknowingly pregnant with our daughter in early 96 when we saw the MSP in Leeds. The gig was broadcast on Boxing Day that year and she was born to Design for Life on the radio. Manics headlined in 99, I was down the front in the mayhem and cracked up when they played it. I then went with my daughter in 2003 and she got to hear it live. She knew it was her song and I picked her up and cried as they played it.
  18. Let my Mrs drag me to Ed Sheeran, dire. We left after half an hour. Ended up having to physically fight our way OUT of the field, people simply wouldn’t let us past! By the time we got round to WH we ended up getting a crepe and listened from round the corner!
  19. I did that…I must have been mad
  20. I always camped in Kidney Mead in the 90s. Outdoor Cinema was there. Vaguely recall one year, poss 92, sitting up all night watching films and they were still playing when it got light so all you got was the sound!
  21. 92 at Reading it was cold and wet on the Sunday, upended the bins and built bonfires in the Arena to keep warm waiting for Kurt
  22. Mate of mine doesn’t do festivals and went in 2007 by coach (he uses public transport everywhere even now). Apparently it was chaos getting picked up and he arrived back in Sheffield to find the city flooded out, without power and couldn’t even get a shower when he got home! Needless to say…😂
