Probably not my favourite ever Pyramid headliner (hello, Blur) but definitely top 5. I knew at the time it'd be my last Glasto, at least for a while, and it was a f**king awesome set to go out on. Had all the things. The man played a blinder.
The salacious headlines are a bit meh and open to interpretation. But there are less dramatic allegations in that lawsuit that are absolutely abusive and were directed personally by Lizzo. Several players not involved in the lawsuit have stuck their heads over the parapet to back up the dancers.
Her statement was dire. Absolutely feckin’ terrible.
And I’m really sad about it all.
I've done 12 over 20 years. Every year since '17 has been "my last" but this time I do feel at peace and able to stick to it.
I physically and mentally coped better this year than I have in forever. I'm fitter. Nothing went wrong. Even the sh*tty bits (shoutout to the gate A zig-zags on Wed morning and the hellish heat) were easier this time purely cos I've had it so much worse before. And I think it's gonna be a long (long) time before there's another Moment like Elton's set. It's time.
Aside from the construction of actual towers, I doubt it’d take very many more person-hours. The problem Glasto have with the stripping of these vehicles is it would appear more organised than the smash and grab of old. If they do nothing it’ll be twice as bad next year cos it’s now a known soft target. I believe catalytic converters are a highly sought after thing that are in many cars. (I am an eternal passenger and not at all car-minded but my mate had their something-something nicked amid an intense spate of it here and I feel like the “cat” sounds right 😅)
Axl sounded much better than I expected him to while I was actually there. From what's been said, I'm not going to mess with the fun I had by watching it back.
Not putting the car keys in the lock up. It wasn't me, it was my friend who lost them on a particularly wild Sat night. Every year since, we take 2 sets and book them in the lockup separately so that can never, ever happen again.
