Never stumbled across this thread before, but wish I had. I've had depression my whole life and spent many years drowning the negative thoughts with alcohol and playing at being a "normal" citizen. My first Glasto changed my life as it opened my eyes to so many things, but also showed me that humanity and society could be inclusive, supportive and differences were to be celebrated. In 2013 I split with my wife of 10 years, with whom I have 2 kids and the event triggered me. I hated being on my own away from the kids and after 6 weeks attempted suicide. Luckily, I failed. I got some therapy and support and have been largely OK every since. At G last year, I had an altercation with a coked up selfish w*nker and went to throw a punch. Luckily, my group stopped me and his stopped him. That night I went very dark. By the end of July I was still in a bad place and blaming myself, feeling guilt, shame, self loathing and work pressure was ramping up. My mind broke. My wife had to stop me slashing my wrist. I went back into therapy, on to antidepressants and had 10 weeks off work. I'm lucky. My family, friends and employer were nothing but understanding and helpful. I now feel like myself again. I'm a little concerned about this year's festival and for a while considered not going, given what happened last year. There was so much inconsiderate behaviour, open cocaine use and (to me) tension in crowds that I'd never really felt before. The flashpoint when I lost it was by no means the only incident of pushy (coked up) selfishness I'd experienced that weekend, which felt a million miles from previous festivals. Maybe I was already in a downward spiral, but I still have a degree of nervousness about this year. Luckily, I've had a refresher in coping techniques. Per the YouTube clip above, I think most of the attendees will have some demons. I'm 49 so struggle a little bit with being open about this IRL as my upbringing was very 70's/80's. All I will say is get help if you need it. I've decided this year that if the "vibe" of the festival is more 2023 and less 2019/previous and there are selfish, pushy w*nkers and blatant coke-heads everywhere then this will be my last. For my own good.

This is a great one, 90mb! https://storage.googleapis.com/p-oaf-ibe-back-00e-strapi-uploads/.ImageGallery/2023/Pléiades Neo - Glastonbury festival.jpg?fbclid=IwAR1Mr-JUooclt-p43B8oBkAWFL87vg46Rc8QkPeqKsFayNlC4Ae_e9NKOvY

I bought these in 2007 from Ian Gill Sculpture in The Greenfields. One is a stork and the other is an acorn leaf bird bath. My mum died in 2006 and my dad gave me her secret money stash he found in her purse. These both represent my mum, the stork being the carrier of babies and she carried me. And one of her sayings was "From Little Acorns, Mighty Oak Trees Grow". They always make me think of her even after all this time! 💗

I decided last year was my last festival - I watched Elton John from the front row of the Pyramid (for me that couldn’t be topped). When it finished I made the long trek to Glastonbury sign and just sat there for a good hour taking it all in for one last time and celebrating how lucky I’d been to get tickets every year since 2013. Whatever the line up has been, I’ve had amazing times even going the last 4 festivals solo and now I’m looking forward to watching it on TV having handed the baton over to someone new. It will always remain a very, very special place.

No Grimes DJ set. Gutted.

I am in! Thanks to a lovely Efests user! 😭

There's something perversely fair about the Glastonbury ticket drama in my opinion. Those who really want a ticket will generally hang around longer to try and get one. While those who are half-arsed just "trying" will drop out after half an hour or so. I don't know, I'm sure it will change one day, but I personally don't have any complaints.

Personally I hope Avalon now stays away from the novelty pop acts. It looks like they are now being given slots on bigger stages and pulling huge crowds in many cases. Leave Avalon to be one of the few places with folk/rock/punk stuff on.

Everyone knows how much I adore the festival, but losing Williams Green still really hurts. There was and is no other venue that had/has that identity and curated line-up. It was like a small version of the 'New Bands Tent' that JPT was once and for many of us was a key part of our daily line-up schedule. Yes, the big bookings, especially on Thursday with so much less on around the site, became untenable. Fine. Stop booking those bands. But, that combination of upcoming bands and also daytime sets by more established artists who were playing elsewhere during the weekend (Everything Everything, Courtney Barnett etc) was unique to Glastonbury, and its passing is one small step towards the Farm feeling more like 'all the other festivals'. And that's a huge shame. With the loss of The Rabbit Hole, the only vaguely comparable daytime venue (though I do understand the reasons for its end), that type of experience at Glastonbury has taken another huge hit for those of us less interested in chart popular stuff and nostalgia acts. I truly hope they knock it out of The Park with a replacement for the ol' Hole. Ben

I'm in lads! Inject that techno in my veeeeeeeins!!!!

This is a really important issue. The world is looking in disgust at a state which is currently killing women and children by the tens of thousands and weaponising the term 'antisemitism' to try to silence any principled criticism of it. It's incredibly depressing to see how effective this tactic has been - the world has been cowed in its criticism of Israel's barbarous acts for fear of being branded antisemite. Even on this forum, you can see the tactic working: the cowards that spend their lives in the political discussion section have long been falling over themselves to brand anyone who asks 'surely we can criticise the actions of a state without being called racist?' as racists. It's not just Paul Currie - there are many highly-principled, decent people who've been taken down by these false claims of antisemitism. One of the most outrageous is the Guardian's political cartoonist, Steve Bell, who for many years has been an outspoken critic of tyrants and butcherers, and someone who no sane person would ever accuse of racism. Yet, when the heat was applied, The Guardian backed down and sacked him. I'll support any pressure on Glastonbury to rethink this cowardly and wrong decision. It's tempting to just duck out of this debate for fear of also being called racist. The following video, which I've linked to before on here, explains why keeping quiet about this issue might give you an easy life, but is, in fact, just displaying cowardice in the face of the real right-wing bigots:

Blimey Neil. Someone asked for a quote and I posted it. I don't care about the downvote (but thanks to those who have upvoted me) but this is a bit of an odd response to a fairly innocuous post. Let's just be clear - I couldn't disagree more with Frank Turner's comments there.

Apologies for the length of this post! I went on a bit of a ramble, so tl:dr; Glastonbury is a special place and is unlike any other festival. There be magic/dragons here, or something. So glad to see this thread still going strong! From my experience, Glastonbury brings a lot of emotions and experiences that I’ve just not encountered at other festivals. It’s not a bad thing - I think it’s just testament to how Glastonbury is truly something special, and connects to people in ways no other festival does. I’ve been to a number of other festivals in the last few years, and although I’ve had some great experiences at those, nothing is as era-defining as my attendance at Glasto every year since 2014. And so, this year is the first year since I started my Glasto journey that I WON’T be attending. In a way, it was a difficult decision to make - how could I possibly break my privileged streak of attending the most sought-after festival in Europe? - but in another way, I realised that I have always formed a potentially-unhealthy emotional connection to Glastonbury that I’m sure 99% of people wouldn’t relate to. I first started going to the festival with a “f**k it, I’m completely unhappy in my relationship and I need an escape” approach. Then a few years later, I was going to the festival with someone who I saw myself going to the festival with for the rest of my life. And then Covid happened, and we inevitably broke up (mostly amicably), and so when the ticket rolled over for 2022, I was still trying to keep the emotional spirit going. Then in 2023, she had moved on much quicker and easier than me, and brought her new boyfriend into our group, and I probably catasrophised the whole situation and made it more awkward for everyone than I needed to. I had also discovered ketamine (as a self-medicated antidepressant, because all NHS-recognised mediation wasn’t working for me) by that point, which in many ways has changed my life for the better, but at that time, I had no stable footing in reality and I’m kinda ashamed of how I might have come across to my peers. Why am I talking about this here? Well, Boomtown was a festival I started attending in 2022, with absolutely no emotional connection to anything. I was entirely unfiltered, made a great bunch of friends who were all as f**ked-up as I was (but in their own special ways). I don’t know which festival is BETTER on paper, but I know that I feel “safer” returning to Boomtown than I do Glasto. And so for this reason, I didn’t go for a ticket at Glasto this year, because I feel like I need a “mental health break”. I’d love to go to Glastonbury and not be carrying all my emotional baggage with me, and just attend the festival as a “normal” person, because there really is nothing like it. I just find that every Glasto, even at my happiest, I spend at least a day trying to hide from everyone - I thought I was doing okay in 2022, until I saw my ex on the screens during one of Kae Tempest’s most emotional songs, and a few days later, Sea Girls defined my life with their opening song, Sick. I don’t even remember 2023, when I was (in retrospect) at my worst. And trying to hide from everyone at a festival like this, camping in a wonderful, intricate group as I do, is quite difficult. Of course, I am strongly considering going for a resale ticket this year, because so much has changed in my life in the last year and anyone who knows me will probably say that I’m a completely different, more stable person now. But I’m just incredibly anxious that I’m going to have an “episode” at Glastonbury yet again, and I feel like it’s my own fault for setting this festival up in this way when I first started attending back in 2014, and so the cycle continues… This festival is truly unique, in that there is literal magic going on here somewhere and I’m not educated enough to explore it. Or maybe it’s just me. But yeah. Something so amazing and fun shouldn’t be so difficult, and so taking a year out is probably the right decision for me. (I’m also probably taking a year out from Boomtown, because I f**ked my back up last year and I’m still not sure if I’m recovered from that either) If you’ve read this far, thank you! I appreciate you! I don’t have any useful information to share, other than that Glastonbury is unexpectedly difficult and stressful for some people and it’s okay if you’re in the same boat - you can enjoy something and be dreading it at the same time. I think that’s the new “normal” now.

Yes, but only if it's expired

Is this the ideal line-up based on who's touring this summer? No. Is it worth the 40 euros per day I paid for my six day ticket? Absolutely. Liam doing Definitely Maybe - I'm in. Fred Again.. showing why he's truly headline material - yes please. Editors, Fontaines, Yard Act and Nova Twins bringing the guitars. Thank you very much. Plus excellent female representation with Raye, Halsey, Aurora and Janelle. And one more headliner (plus Jungle and Charli?) still to come. Perfect? Not even close. But as awful as comments of socials would have you believe? Not at all.

Well you could keep a lenor bottle by the side of your bed. Or wake up needing a pee but wait till the last moment and then rush to get dressed, with wellies and run to your bathroom. Buy some expensive food and pop it in a small cardboard container and believe it's a proper meal. Leave some cans out to warm up then drink them at 11 in the morning. Find a set you want to see on TV then get some mates around to take a load of coke and talk all the way through it Neck some laxatives then go somewhere crowded and try and get to a toilet. Arrange to be somewhere great, but actually be somewhere not so good and remember the good thing nearly when finishes. Get a branch from nearby tree and whittle a spoon. Buy old forks then spend an hour fashioning them into a mobile. Get friends to link hands and keep walking past you whilst some stand on your feet. Pop to the park and mutter w*nkers under your breath to anyone on a blanket. Get a friend to dress in a leotard and recite crap poetry Monday find a car tailback and join the end Walk around your house muttering it's not as good as it used to be.

I've heard this before but, as a Scouser who's been four times in a row (with my fifth upcoming 🥳) I think this is just copium from people who fail to get tickets. The reason you see (or you think you see) loads of Scousers round the site is a combination of: Glastonbury having semi-mythic status amongst Scousers. I was always told this was because the security firms all came from Liverpool in the 00s (presumably ex-gangland/door staff?) and spread the word about how great it was back home. Simply put, it just seems to mean more to people in Liverpool, and we're a bunch who like to follow the trends of others. Scousers stand out. The accent plus the uniform mixing sportswear with hippy chic makes us clearly identifiable. I'm sure there's also thousands of Londoners, for instance, but they're less sartorially homogeneous, so stand out less. Plus, being the trendsetters we are, it's caught on outside of Liverpool too - so a good chunk of the people you visually clock as Scousers may well not be, but it makes you think there's more of us than there are. Possibly linked to point 1, I think Scousers (especially the young ones) have fewer qualms about getting in via unorthodox methods. Liverpool is a little village, and the odds of you knowing someone who knows someone who can get you in the back of a van are pretty high. Linked to point 3, a lot of Scousers are quite happy to put down hundreds, if not thousands to get hold of a VIP ticket or to buy a ticket off someone who looks like a bit like them. Our flash-the-cash culture, being (unfortunately!) the credit capital of Britain and the legion of young Scouse men who seem to carry wads of cash for reasons I couldn't possibly speculate on all engender this. So I'd say all of the above in combination are probably the reason you see more Scousers on site rather than a sinister cabal hoarding all the tickets.

Got straight in for Thursday tickets from my Dublin hotel room at 5.59. Bring on the guinness!

Would love to hear of Arcade Fire playing to 17 people at brixton academy, due to a nationwide crackdown on a) people who don't understand the concept of consent and b) sh*tty ticket prices.

Any helpers would be massively appreciated, I am in the coach resale group (along with my Glasto buddy). I'll check what arrangements are for sharing the spreadsheet. Payment would ideally be made if you get through to keep it speedy. I would then refund anyone that bought for me immediately I have proof of purchase. The confirmation email comes through very quickly so them means the repayment would be made almost immediately. I will also be buying drinks on the farm for anyone that gets through for me. I understand some would be nervous about paying for strangers so an alternative would be to call for payment details if you get through, but that also relies on trust and takes time during which tickets may sell out, but whatever works is good! I can provide some ID and have been on here for years although not a prolific poster.

my last: number 30, was last year, and i didn't think of doing anything special cos it was my last, except relaxing into it and enjoying it to the full, getting around to see a few old friends who have been a constant part of my glastonbury experience

Nah, they're playing at my house.

Maybe not a spreadsheet but here's a big list: Pyramid Dua Lipa - Friday Coldplay - Saturday SZA - Sunday Shania Twain - Sunday LCD Soundsystem - Friday Little Simz - Saturday Burna Boy - Sunday PJ Harvey - Friday Cyndi Lauper - Saturday Michael Kiwanuka - Saturday Janelle Monae - Sunday Seventeen - any day Paul Heaton - any day Keane - any day Paloma Faith - not Friday Olivia Dean - any day Ayra Starr - not Saturday Other IDLES - Friday Disclosure - Saturday The National - Sunday D-Block Europe - Probably Friday The Streets - Saturday Two Door Cinema Club - Probably Sunday Anne-Marie - any day Camila Cabello - any day Avril Lavigne - not Saturday Bombay Bicycle Club - not Saturday Bloc Party - any day The Last Dinner Party - any day Nothing but Thieves - not Saturday Confidence Man - Friday Headie One - any day West Holts Jungle - Friday Jessie Ware - Saturday Justice - Sunday Heilung - Probably Friday Masego - Probably Saturday Nia Archives - Probably Sunday Danny Brown - any day Black Pumas - not Sunday Brittany Howard - any day Sugababes - any day Nitin Sawhney - Saturday Jordan Rakei - any day Asha Puthli - any day Noname - any day Corinne Bailey Rae - Saturday Steel Pulse - any day Squid - Friday Sofia Kourtesis - Friday Woodsies Jamie XX - Friday Gossip - Saturday James Blake - Sunday Sampha - Probably Friday Sleaford Mods - Saturday Romy - Sunday Declan McKenna - any day Yard Act - Saturday Arlo Parks - any day Alvvays - Sunday Blondshell - Sunday Kenya Grace - any day Soccer Mommy - Saturday Remi Wolf - any day Mannequin Pussy - Saturday NewDad - any day High Vis - not Sunday Kneecap - Saturday Park Fontaines D.C. - Friday Peggy Gou - Saturday London Grammar - Sunday King Krule - Friday Orbital - Probably Saturday Ghetts - Probably Sunday Aurora - Friday The Breeders - Saturday Mount Kimbie - any day Dexys - Friday Lankum - any day Baxter Dury - any day This is the Kit - any day Arooj Aftab - any day Mdou Moctar - Sunday The Mary Wallopers - any day Otoboke Beaver - any day Barry Can't Swim - Friday bar italia - any day I've put "Probably" for acts where it isn't confirmed but all signs lead to it.

Reluctantly, i will take on the job of Pudding chaser, and will comb the site on monday and tuesday ahead of gate opening to find out what other goodies could potentially be at least a part replacement for the Crumble Shack. They'd best bring their A game though.

Managed to lay from my holiday without any hitches. The wife and I are officially going to our first ever Glastonbury Festival!

Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 states in section 15 what an employers' liabilities are, which is what makes it legal. List A is detailed here on gov.uk website: Employers' right to work checklist - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). List A, item 1, states passport - current or expired.

I think most of us are in the same situation re: headliners. I can't wait for Fred Again... and, no matter what people think, he's a massive booking with serious credibility. I'm not sure I've ever met a Sam Smith fan in my life, but on Spotify he has four songs that have reached 1 billion streams and, by the end of the year, I suspect all four will have broken 2 billion streams each. So, someone is listening to him. I thought Garrix's show was excellent in 2019 and will watch again. Stormzy is the weird one. Due to be a sub in 2020 and, yet, is a headliner in 2024 with no significant release between the two dates. Strange. Two (potentially three?) headliners to go. Subs are looking good though if rumours/leaks are to be believed. Raye and Janelle Monae provide excellent female representation and will both be great live. Line up just needs more guitars and live music, rather than button pushing IMHO.

So one of my friends won the Chilly’s competition! Her + 5 friends. Her and her partner already had tickets but her other 4 guests didn’t so she’s done well there!

Excellent! In 2017 we were passing back through the Unfair Ground late on Friday night when one of the “carney” girls ushered us over to her fair game. The game was to throw a crushed can into a tiny slot which surprisingly I managed to get it in (in my state). She quickly rummaged through a draw then pulled me over the counter and softly whispered in my ear “here’s your prize, it’s a cast of Michael Eavis’s asshole”

Loving my dinner tonight 🥰😂😩

I'm relatively new here, and this might make me unpopular, but here goes: As a left-wing Jew one concern I have about this year's Glastonbury is the likelihood that I'll be exposed to the combination of ignorance and antisemitism that has been allowed into the open, particularly on the British left, in the last six months. That's not to say that Israel's government, military, settlement policies etc etc don't deserve strong criticism and Palestinians strong support, and I am expecting to see both, but people have to be very careful with their language if they want to avoid causing offense. At Coachella for example towards the end of Young Fathers' set Graham Hastings shouted "Ceasefire now!" and "Free Palestine!". I don't really have an issue with that, but I'd say that ideally it should be something like: Ceasefire now - Free the hostages - Overthrow Hamas - Free Palestine. Hastings didn't say anything that suggests he supports Hamas or that he does not support innocent Israelis, but I did find the omissions curious (and I find the perception among some on the left that Hamas are defending the oppressed rather than another means of oppression completely bizarre). Really I think if someone with a significant public profile wants to state their opinion they should ideally make the effort to actually form one, something cohesive and suggestive of independent thought and genuine conviction, rather than just say a couple of random slogans. With Paul Currie, I think he clearly handled that moment poorly, but nothing I have read has remotely convinced me it demonstrated that he is an antisemite. I also have very profound issues with the Campaign Against Antisemitism's methodology. "We have contacted Paul Currie for comment", as they put it in their initial release about the incident, is nowhere near good enough, given the potential (and actual) impact of that release on Currie's career. There is real and rational fear of rising antisemitism in the British Jewish community, and while intending to protect them from the antisemitism the CAA also sometimes seem willing to weaponise the fear. Finally, I hope people avoid the temptation to make inflammatory and unnecessary comments, such as the one I've quoted above. It isn't necessarily antisemitic, but there was no need in the context of the rest of the post to make it at all and it seems, at best, wilfully provocative. Happy to discuss any of this either online or over a pint on the farm.

aaaaah yes... the first of many posters that list 99.9% that i never heard of!

Thanks guys! I really, REALLY want to get @Lucy92there. We are long overdue finally meeting and enjoying a cider. I think I'm going to go for it guys 🤪

All my friends 😎

I didn't know it at the time, but I have already had my last Glastonbury. As I didn't know it, I never got to have the mindset that 'this is my last Glastonbury'. If I had known (and if it was allowed - no idea if it is or not these days) I'd have one last camp fire on an evening when the light was beginning to fade. I'd look down the hill from my campsite (what used to be Top Webbs Ash (and still maybe called that) at the 'town' below. I'd carry on watching until I could now see the place all lit up in the surrounding dark, and I'd say to myself 'I'm f**king going down into there in a bit'. And I would go down there, into town. I'd immerse myself in the frolics and shenanigans like an Emperor of the night.

Jesus Christ, we get it. It's bad but isn't this year bad everywhere? Noone is getting fired when even Coachella and Glastonbury struggle with their lineups. I don't know why you keep expecting miracles.

Hi Lisa, Full disclosure, my preference would be to just buy a ticket but cannot face the idea of watching Glastonbury on the tv so needs must and when I've missed out on a ticket I've volunteered for Oxfam in 2019, WaterAid 2023 and Avalon this year! I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to public toilets but is wasn't that bad, breath through your mouth, wear the gloves provided and never look down! Campsite is in a great spot, behind the Eavis's farmhouse, with hot showers and great catering in the next field with a subsidised bar (shared with the recycling crew) though the camping field does have quite a slope and you're packed in but everyone was friendly and respectful, but take ear plugs. Our Loo crew Shifts were 4x 6 hours, but spread over the 24 hour clock and five days so as an example we worked: Wed. 6pm - midnight, Thu. midnight to Friday 6am, Sat. 6am - noon and Sunday 6pm - midnight. But has been mentioned 'travel time' is included, so on early shift you could roll out of bed fifteen minutes before you start, sign in in the camping field and then walk to your starting point, we were SE Corner that took at least forty minutes to walk there, longer if it was crowded and then the same going home, so if you're volunteering at a far point the shift ends up being closer to four hours rather than six. You also get reasonable breaks during your shift and as been mentioned you can be in the middle of the action as you walk around the site and people are SO grateful for what you're doing, imagine the SE Corner loos at 4am, quite the spot, but tens if not hundreds of people thanked us for the cleanish loos! Of course Oxfam has it's advantages, parking next to the campsite, more space etc., I had eight hour shifts on a quiet vehicle gate that did drag, but I could breath through my nose... Either way you're in the fields and not watching on the tv, good luck! Steve

Primavera Sound is next month!

Spoiler alert: Everyone who goes will have a great time and it’ll sell out again next year.

I too am fuming about the lack of edgy bands Air and Echo and the Bunnymen.

Ellie Goulding as a headliner is a terrible idea

Alright, got you. A female headliner is coming as well.

Pretty sure I've been to the festival more than all those that have thus far contributed to this thread and I don't share the sentiment about the line up, already plenty I'd like to see and that list will massively fill out. As ever there were some acts hoped for which have played before and would have delighted others, but I'd have just shrugged at, so I don't pine for them. I come from the olden days when there were two stages for and many of the acts on the second one were not well known. Also there were often some acts on the Pyramid who had played before.

No need to have your today ruined with the lineup, wait until tomorrow for that XD

Yes plan is to have a Monday night Tow and Hitch meet again for whoever from efests is on site on the Monday. I'll post more details closer to the festival and have also set up a WhatsApp group in the past.
