Krisesk Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) From my previous festival experience, everything would wrap up around 3am until about 11am or so. Does Glastonbury have a winding down point, or is it pretty much 24 hours a day? And if so, is it more than dance music/DJs? Hoping to just go wandering a few nights and find some interesting things.

monkey1989 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Pretty much 24hr, the naughty Corner goes on till around 6 but you can find the headphone disco till 7 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomfromStroud Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Don't worry...even after 6am you'll probably be able to find somewhere to sit and watch someone play Tibetan nose flute and drink a cup of tea whilst the sun comes up.

clarkete Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) If you look here you can see what was happening when, so you can see which venues tend to list stuff until later, or just follow your ears and nose. http:///s/g2016/ Edited November 14, 2016 by clarkete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid_Haze Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I always have trouble finding many good late night places. There is a total abundance of drum & bass and techno. Does anyone know anywhere good that plays disco/funk and soul/hip hop or anywhere that plays actual tunes/songs like you'd find in normal clubs opposed to just having DJ sets heavy on the samples and minimalism. I know i sound a bit lame saying that but that's usually what me and my group of friends want when we're drunk late at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread on this very subject before the last festival, but as I didn't manage to get tickets I wasn't paying that much attention. However you can try the Deluxe Diner/Rocket Lounge as they like a bit of soul there (it's a favourite with Craig Charles). They also like a bit of old school rock n roll and ska, so it may be pot luck what's on at the time but whatever it is it won't be drum and bass or techno.

Yeah, I was in the Deluxe Diner a couple of years back at about 2am and the DJ was playing really great obscure American pop and R n B tunes. I wanted to ask him for a copy of his set list but I was a bit too drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugworth Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I would have thought there are lots of bars playing music other than DnB/Techno but only until 3am. After that you're left with DnB/Techno wonderland until 7am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamber Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Every type of music there has ever been, has played somewhere in a field in Somerset, near Piton between 3am and !1am in the lat 40 years.

Cornelius_Fudge Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Pretty sure I fell asleep/took a nap in Block 9 around 5/6 am one year and then got up for some more raving before giving up, but there were plenty of people still going strong when my friends and I left as the sun came up. Hoping there will be new additions to the site this year to accommodate how popular the SE corner is! In muddy years it tends to get a bit chocka as all the sitting/sleeping areas are no goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 If there's one thing I do next year it'll be stay out raving in the Naughty Corner until sunrise. Just have to stay off the booze until a bit later that day to ensure I last all night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that difficult to make it right through if you pace yourself, if your peak comes around 3am, that's absolutely ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
