Are you coming back for more next year?  It normally takes me until August at least to decide I'm coming back.  Every year, I return swearing blind I'm going to miss a year.  Never missed a year deliberately since 1995.  What with the anniversary celebrations next year, I'm going to do an Arnie.

I'll be back.

EDIT: Bloody Polls.  I'm not trying again!  Are you coming back or what? Discuss :o
EDIT EDIT:  Working now :huh:  Vote!

The ONLY year I've had that all consuming "this is stupid, never doing it again" kinda feeling was in 2007 whilst standing for several hours ankle deep in mud/water and in the pi$$ing rain waiting in the most humongous queue ever for the shuttle bus at stupid o'clock on the Monday :o However, those thoughts quickly evaporated on munching a most excellent BBQ'd bacon roll and downing a decent cuppa from the jolly nice peeps at Castle Cary when I eventually got there :) Unfortunately, the water didn't and I was still soaked through and shivering even when I got home god knows how many hours later due to the small number of trains available so there's always shedloads of hanging around !  Having said that, this year was kinda going to be my last ... but maybe next year can be the last instead because this year was just so bl**dy good :huh:

strange question to ask on a Glastonbury forum, weeks after the fest. That typically only fanatics post on....

Yeah, funny how it's 5 out of 5 for coming back.  Clearly a representative sample  :huh:
EDIT: 6 out of 6

I wish I was but I'm going to New Zealand for a year so unless I win the lottery I can't afford to come back for a few days in Somerset!  Have to say 2009 was my first glasto and I'm hooked, I'm just hoping that next year, as unlikely as it is on the 40th anniversary, they have crap headliners so I don't miss out too much!

19 out of 19 now :huh: , only been twice so I hope I can keep going for decades to come :o , though I haven't experienced mud/rain like 2005/7 were yet, don't know if I'd be able to stand glasto like that.

So, for all the moaning that goes on after the festival (including mine!), none of us would consider not going :huh:

Hell yes, I'm definitely going back next year, providing it doesn't clash with A Level exams.

I'll only be able to go for Friday night, Saturday and most of Sunday next year due to starting a new job in a school. I'm not sure if it's worth it yet.

I'll probably do the few days, as some Glastonbury is better than no Glastonbury. But I'll probably also do a smaller festival during the summer.

This year was my second year, and I don't feel that I experienced enough of Glasto this time round, so already am itching to go back.

I am having to book Big Chill tickets just to appease the itch, damn festival fever.
