[Yorkshire Chomper]

Yup i wondered if it would be - after checking the exact time (to the minute)  it will be 11.32 saturday morning. It will be ace - hope for clear nights

[indieheart]

That's just made me go all gooey. As if there wasn't enough atmosphere!

Oh that's awesome!  Will make Glasto even more special.

Any chance of a psytrance style rave anywhere ?

[Ommadawn]

I'm sure there was one three or four years ago. It looked massive and there was something about it being nearer to Earth than for many years. Might not have been a proper full moon though

[godders1966]

I'm sure Mr Eavis would have ordered it especially for the 40th Birthday bash.

How do you know these sorts of things?  Are you some sort of Moon-Spotter?  Have you checked out the status of the moon every time you're at Glastonbury for the last 40 years?  Bizarre.

Just checked - there was a full moon on Wednesday June 22nd 2005 so strictly speaking it wasn't during the festival weekend itself.

Let's hope it isn't too cloudy then so we can see it.

That is fantastic, I never realised, but how do you know it's the first Glasto with a full moon?

i'm somewhat obsessed with the phases of the moon because spring tides occur with a full and new moon......and that means the Severn Bore will be working, usually with me riding it.

Owwwwwww! Will give me something to howl at during the night.
