pauladam Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) @merago - I probably shouldn't bother (to clarify - I may have mentioned it once or twice before) Edited April 26, 2017 by pauladam clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesyp42 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I saw the guy who played "Barry" in the hit TV Show "Beaver Falls". Didn't have the courage to approach. He was chatting up 2 girls. Classic Barry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesuri Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 At Coldplay last year i turned behind me to see a very short Dermot O'Leary standing behind me enjoying the show, he was kind enough to have a quick picture with us and a chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioahed Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 10 years ago I stood next to Colin Murray at the Park stage seeing Willy Mason. He is an act of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamon Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Saw Tilda Swinton last year. She was wearing big sunglasses and a big hat so i didn't bother her, assuming she was incognito. Also saw Nick Grimshaw during Stormzy and he was absolutely off his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalopsia Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I've seen Gemma Cairney watching Alt-J, George Shelly by the other stage and think I walked past James Corden a few years back but I never speak to them just let them enjoy the festival ✌️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsell Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Not an act, but I saw Rio Ferdinand in 2015, absolutely off his face with a circle of 'friends' around him at Arcadia. It was one of the most sobering experiences of my life, when we remembered his wife had died a couple of months earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAMN. Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I saw Zoe Ball at Roisin Murphy last year. I didn't bother annoying her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 So no one's met any acts then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeble Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm celeb blind, plus I've no idea who half of them are anyway. i did see seasick Steve wandering past the bandstand with a totally bemused look on his face in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotchilidog Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Had a couple of pints with Phill Jupitus after his poetry set in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 After Royal Blood in 2014 I literally walked into Paolo Nutini outside the tent. He looked absolutely fucked and turned to me and went "Why's it so fucking hot mate?!" I didn't think it was that hot so was like "Umm I don't know" and walked off. He was surrounded by a gaggle of girls seemingly following him around. Same day (I think) I was stood next to Royal Blood for a bit during Robert Plant, but they walked off half way through. Don't think I've met any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Soldier Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Literally bumped into Josh Widdecombe at the back the Other field. He was out his mind. We were also stood behind Catlin Moran and that bloke off Rougue Traders, not the bald one the other one, at the Pyramid last year.

sisco Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Bumped into Wolf alice as they were heading into a the back entrance of JP Tent and was hanging about with Florence and I think Eliza Doolittle around Arcadia a couple of years ago. Her friends were more talkative than her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familiar2billions Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I nicked a fag off of Miles Kane after he played a set with is old band The Rascals back in 2008. Im fairly sure they were on The Leftfield. In my head the stage is in an entirely random location which i cant pin point. Probably as it was my first year and i had no bearings. I envy first timers who get to experience that... Adds to the whole mystery and suprise of the festival as you dont know whats around the corner. Although you can kind of recreate that at 2am with the right substances! Also, not Glastonbury, but that Irish Super Vet dude was stood behind me watching the Chili Peppers at Reading last year. A fairly surreal sight whilst hammered trying out some very poor Anthony Kiedis style dance moves to Give it Away.

Hugh Jass Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Not a Glasto story but Jarvis bought me a drink backstage at Leeds a few years ago. A top guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermerv Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I've met Diplo, Norman Jay, Pete from Big Brother, Florence Welch and Maverick Sabre. I generally annoy them all for photos, so far no one has told me to piss off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
