The joy of shouting "hey you guys"

[glastolover19]

Does anyone know what happened to the outdoor cinema up by wicket ground? I know it was something about licensing but can anyone elaborate? One of my happiest memory was watching The Goonies at whatever time of night and everyone joining in when Sloth says it. I know they got the new drive in thing this year so hopefully be as good

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

This is too mind bending. What's going on?

[Chipbarm]

I think they had to get rid of the cinema to make room for crew camping. I expect the queues for the drive in with be huge this year.

Haha sorry mate. It's like when I'm at Glastonbury, I want some chips yet everyone is still selling bacon in stale baguettes.

I thought it was due to license issues but don't know for sure. Such a shame as it was awesome and within stumbling distance of camp. There was something magical about 300-400 people going mad and losing their sh!t when Sloth say the iconic line or when Doc Brown said "Great Scott" at 2am

I thought someone had posted on here saying the reason the cinema moved to an indoor venue was because the council thought minors could easily get into a field and see stuff deemed inappropriate for their age.

But if that were the case surely this new drive-in thing wouldn't be allowed. Unless it's inside a fence or something.

You could be right that seems like a ridiculously stupid thing for the council to do

The idea of an open air cinema posing the greatest risk of a minor seeing inappropriate things at Glastonbury genuinely made me spurt my tea back into the mug when I read it.

Exactly sir,well put.

Remember my son when he was 4-5 saying "daddy what's that" turns out it was a crack-head in neon tutu sh!tting and puking at same time behind a generator. Admittedly its hilarious now but at time it was bit awkward.

I'm out of likes already. I didn't say it made sense. Just passing on gossip really. I could believe it though. Council minion thinking "Hmm. there's clearly a breach of a well defined rule here".

As always it's the thought that counts

They don't teach that level of real life experience in schools.  I call that solid parenting.

Wasn't it more about the noise? I remember trying to get to sleep in Pylon and being kept awake by The Frighteners. Happy days.

It is true though. Was an article on Glastonbury website a couple of years back. Open air cinemas only allowed to show u certificate films now. 

Oh I know.  It's the context being applied somewhere like Glastonbury that makes me chuckle.

So by that principle will the same ruling be applied to the drive-in this year? Or is it different if access is controlled?

Same experience, but I was in Spring Ground and the movie was Transformers! Remember thinking I'd never get to sleep.....but suddenly I was waking up and it was at 9AM

This is my thinking. Filth and the Fury, Joe Strummer - the future is unwritten, Great rock n roll swindle, etc. I might well be tempted if this is on at some point:

That was few years back,he is now well versed in skinning up and tent robbing he just needs some more time to develop his gurning face

I remember camping right next to the fence at the bottom of Wicket Ground in 2007 and the Cinema was in the next field facing me (I think near where JP now is). I struggled to get to sleep one night because all I could hear was Borat booming out from the next field at 3 in the morning. Surreal experience
