Michaels denim shorts Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I never made it to shangri la acoustic or strummerville this year. I went to many places I've missed in previous years so I'm happy with the trade off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeGalvin Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I didn't go anywhere near John Peel or Silver Hayes this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Cineramergeddon, looking at pictures on instagram earlier it looked pretty cool, and where the wings from the pyramid ended up. Also never made it to the rabbit hole, strunmerville or acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faymondo Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Strummerville and Acoustic. Pretty much nailed everything else you could walk by and pop in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Also never made Strummerville. Only made The Park and Cineramageddon after the Monday wander back on site after packing the car. Cineramageddon looked epic and I wish I'd made the effort now. Just pretty much a brief walk through of The Wood, JP, and SH this year as well. In thirteen festivals I've still never fount The Underground Piano Bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandolin Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Despite all my pre-festival intentions of doing some of the exactly the same stuff I've done and enjoyed in previous years I didn't make it to Strummerville, Crows Nest, Avalon or West Holts. Only excuse I can think of is that I appeared to be in some time warp continuum that made Friday morning to Sunday night seem to last about three hours. Spent more time in areas that I've not experienced so much previously so no regrets though. Still can't work out how I managed to miss out West Holts - I was supposed to be spending all Saturday there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, it's my first Glastonbury, but still, it was a wicked spot and gutted I didn't spend more time there during the 5 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Despite saying I'm going to do it every year, I've never yet been to the Rabbit Hole. I'm perfectly happy with what we managed to do this year though, had a couple of hours at Strummerville which turned out to be one of the highlights of the whole festival, chilled out there with a few drinks and lots of laughs, did the underground piano bar, and saw the festival from the high points N,S,E & W (Hill of death, Strummerville, CV West, and top of Michael's Mead).

FuzzyDunlop Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 This year I missed out on the: Acoustic, Rabbit Hole, Crows Nest, Strummerville, The Ribbon Tower. I didn't even go in the Avalon or The Croissant Neuf fields surprisingly. We camped near Cinnemargeddon and didnt have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not far from the stone circle its moved a couple of times though the original I believe was somewhere in the south east corner, the stone is still there, I'm sure someone will have a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpfranks Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I've still not been to the Rabbit Hole, tried to get in once a couple of years ago but queues were just way too big. Haven't been to the Woods either. Not been to Arcadia properly at Glastonbury (walked past and looked etc) but saw it properly at RockNess.

stuartbert two hats Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 6 minutes ago, Homer said: First one to say Pyramid stage wins Glastonbury. That was last year for me, other than walking past just before ELO. But 2017 was the most time I've spent at the Pyramid for years. What a cracking sounding stage! This year was the first time since it started that I've been to the festival and not seen a single act at The Park Stage. Went through The Park area a few times Wed, Thurs + after hours. I love that stage, just the way the lineup fell this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Despite doing absolutely tons (I mean, I went to the Astrolabe twice), I still didn't manage Strummerville, Ribbon Tower, Rabbit Hole or piano bar. Did find Crows Nest though (albeit without actually watching anything in there). Have come to accept that these places just aren't important enough to me. Also, why queue to go up the ribbon tower when you can just walk up the (higher) hill behind it instead?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEF Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Where was the piano bar this year? Usual space up the hill from the Dragon seemed to be closed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
