Went on the Saturday, always a good day out and I can walk home which is a bonus!
Nice friendly crowd with a good mix of people and the sun was out so all good.
Slurped on some powerful bright orange cider they were serving in the guest bar which was decent but didn't catch the name. £6.20 for a can of Thatchers a bit painful but i guess that is where we are at nowadays.
Look forward to see what they have on next year.

I wasn't really thinking about until I had the registration email pop up but now I'm a bit concerned!
Last year was my 12th in a row but i feel that luck's got to run out sometime and that resale system got me worried.
Worst case scenario I'll hide in a ditch for a few weeks and pop out once the fence is up👍

I'm giving yoga a go this time. I try to run three days a week, so I'll use my rest days for a bit of stretching.
I'm on day three of this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBu-pQG6sTY
I did one of Adriens 30 days of Yoga recently (one of the newer ones)
Was really good so may try another one. Def helped with back and hip issues

Rejoined the gym on the weekend, busted out a tremendous weights routine after many months of inactivity felt great!
Today I cannot move and I am in terrible pain all over..
Onwards and upwards

Does anyone know if the Hives were one of the Rabbit Hole TBAS?
Someone told me on good authority they were but I didn't really believe them tbh!

Rick Astley battling with 40mph winds would not have been a great vibe!

Might do a little rewatch now. I did enjoy the Brandon Flowers appearance, Elton seems to support and mentor a lot of new artists as they are coming up.
-
Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode and Pearl Jam would be good from the bigger bands who have never done it.
And of course the Swiftmeister

There were a couple of naked chaps in the stone circle one afternoon.
Would be a bit worried about getting sunburnt but they were wearing hats!

Looks like I saw about 20 acts of the weekend.
Was hoping to see a few more but the hot conditions meant hardcore traipsing between stages was not on the cards.
-
Guns and Roses was an emotional one for me as they were the favourite band of one of our Glasto group who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.
Was good to be able to share the memories of him during the GNR show but also shed a few tears.

I've been lucky enough to get tickets for 12 years in row (for a group of 6 with different people getting through)
All I can say is get organised but you really need to work that refresh key.
No stopping for a cup of tea or a WhatsApp or Facebook Post. You need to keep pressing that F5 until all hope is lost and then press it some more!
Several times I have got in at the least minute. Just get in the zone with no distractions and focus on the task in hand. I must have refreshed solidly for over an hour before I got the shot at the booking page!

No Bones Jones / Fritter Shack still the undefeated 🐐 I love them so much, staff are always a great bunch as well
New to me this year was the milkshake stand opposite BBC, we got big Biscoff vegan shakes on the Sunday after CMAT. The big queue ate up about 20 mins of Nova Twins set, but you know what still worth it. So needed in the heat. Hope they're back.
Nice to see Paellaria expanded to have like three sites now, and especially appreciate one is fully vegan. Had two paellas from them this weekend and could've happily had more. Hopefully sample them again at Green Man.
Had a lovely big plate from that Peacock curry place near Rabbit Hole. Had it for the first time last year and it's become a staple. My go-to curry now that Ghandi's Flip Flop's candle has burned out long before its legend ever did. The almond milk mango lassi, mercy me, what a sensation 🖤 and as we sat down by the Park stage to eat it, who should turn up and start smashing the covers on the mic but Mickey Eavis! A highlight!
Disagree, love the burgers from here. Every year I make sure to get one. Proper old school wholesome handmade vegan comfort food that you don't see so much any more now that big pricks like KFC are muscling the OG Birkenstock Animal Liberation Front gang out of the frame. And they've got sauces out front for you to moisten up that burger. If you didn't slather that righteous muscle sauce all over it then that's a you problem frankly.
Vegan Pyramid was disappointing, not awful but p plain and way too expensive. Was a bit school dinners and cost us £12 each.
That breakfast burrito place up by the Woodsies with all the scoucers working it, why I oughtta... Big sign saying they do a vegan breakfast burrito. We queue for ages because seems like one of the few games in town pre-noon and we wanna go CMAT so we can't go further afield. Get to the front and the staff don't even seem to know what vegan means, asking us which of their ingredients is suitable, my sibling in Christ this is YOUR sign saying you do a big vegan breakfast burrito. In the end all we get is a sh*t tortilla with a small dollop of bean chili and salsa. No salad, no jalapenos or owt. f**ken disgrace. We did remonstrate a little bit about how they'd stuck us for £8 and given us sh*t but they got arsey and we had CMAT to watch so we left it and took our disappointment burritos. But still, f**k those guys.
I had the meat breakfast burrito from there and it was pretty horrific, the worst thing i had probably. My only real regret foodwise.

Only Jerkin on the West Holts was pretty awesome and a huge box of food!
Also La Pizzeria behind williams green was good.

Those walkways have been there since 2019 I think.
Oh right, I must have missed it in that case!😂
Pleasant vibe in the Woodsies area nonetheless.
-
There were plenty of new bits and pieces this year so what new additions were doing it for you?
For me the tree walkway and platforms in the Woodsies area were very cool and a nice relaxing spot to get away from thr mayhem at night.

No issues with the water this year following the purchase of the water filter bottle!
Was a game changer for me (felt I had to share my love for my new filter bottle friend! 😁)

Suppose that's what I wanted to figure out if it's me getting older or the crowd actually changing!
But then I'm working class and have been going to Glastonbury since I was 15 and can't say me or my friends ever felt the need to throw my dirty pants in someone's tent or nick their tent pegs for a laugh ...
Probably just a bit unlucky with your campsite but sounds annoying.
The 45 year old me would probably find camping next to the 19 year old me a bit annoying so maybe a bit of an age thing but sounds like they were very inconsiderate to say the least!
As I get older I tend to seek out the campsites on the outskirts which are nice and quiet. Also spend more time in the Theatre and Circus, Green Fields, Woodsies etc away from the really hectic bits as can't handle big crowds that well any more.
So I didn't really see any bad behaviour or drug usage and most people were really nice and pleasant so I was lucky from that point of view.

First time I've seen people sat on top of the long drops by the Pyramid to get a view. Pretty rancid smelling spot I would have thought!

5 quid for a smallish can of lager is a bit steep, thought the workers bars might be a bit cheaper

He did quite a big outdoor gig in Bristol the Wednesday before Glasto this year, was supposed to be a good show, suprised they didn't get him in this year.
