One Tonne Baby

Not actually peed myself but I was determined not to miss any of Paul McCartney so didn’t really have any booze until just before he came on. The moment he did I felt a need to pee. Ive always felt embarrassed and ashamed (cos it is disgusts) peeing in a cup but decided that if I need to then I would. An hour later I’m desperate and starting to scan the floor for cups - nothing. Every act I’ve ever seen at the pyramid in treading on hundreds of cups. Nothing. so i essentially am desperate for the set to end. But it goes on and one and I’m enjoying the songs but half hating it. The encore allows me another search and I find a cup. I wait and wait until I can no longer and start going and feel it dripping out - a hole. I tense everything and stop. I find another cup and can feel it getting to the top so quickly throw it down then go again. By the time the set finishes I need another one and we are standing in an emptying field hysterically laughing and passing this cup round. all night I was pissing every 5 minutes. Think I did some serious damage

TBH, if i was going the positive outcome of this would be that it's quite exciting to do other things other than pyramid headliners.

That's a good point. Can see that causing some issues.

Lets face it, for the average efester, it's shocking. probably plays better to the younger crowd going but i missed out in October and it's the least jealous I've felt. Might not bother in April. I literally dont know one SZA song, which isn't a reflection on her music but I wonder, why not give the opportunity to Little Simz? She smashed West Holts a few years ago. Also, might be in the minority but i think IDLES deserve the chance. They've been at loads of festivals, have just released a decent album, are local lads and put on a good show.

Self-Esteem just said she needed ideas for her outfit at next years Glasto…could have been a joke…

Probably my ultimate headliner of living bands!

Looking at Mitski in London in May next year. £60-70 is insane for that level of artist - as much as i love her. Will have to pass and hope we are both at Glastonbury.

Maybe I’m the only one but i think it would be great for the festival to book the spice girls

In 2015 I had a sh*t time and was worried that was it but then 2017 was my favourite year. Missed it badly and got back in 2022. our group basically agreed that, as hard as it is, we will be trying every other year and I’m comfortable with that. Lots of us now have young kids so 5 days away is hard on our partners, the cost is effectively a holiday and frankly I mentally need a year off between. trying for next year and one thing I want to do (easier said than done) is to adjust how I approach the festival. I’ll be 37 and still approach is like my first one at 21. Last year I did 35k steps on the Wednesday which shattered me before it started and messed my feet up. I also plan a million things to do and see and would like to relax and go with the wind a bit more, enjoy the moment rather than the path the next act. We’ll see how that goes

Think I need to listen to them properly because watching half hour of their set it did nothing for me…

My 2.5 year old was watching some on tv and I said we can go one day. It feels like something I’d love to do and could do, even though his mum won’t come but also worried I’ll want to come home after 3 hours. I think I might try when he’s 4 in 2025, a last hurrah for us two before school steals him away.

I don’t get it either. She turned up on stage late cos her hairstylist was late and her hair was part of the show so she couldn’t do it? Ridiculous. if it’s that integral, make sure they are on time and if they aren’t you adapt and wing it because you are a professional and owe your fans a full show. if her hair wasn’t done not one person would be saying ‘Lana was great, but that song where she didn’t have big hair really let it down’ get over yourself and get on with it

Similar. I think I need to listen to her as reading this forum, I’m missing out. Not denying her star power. She’s headliner size, I’m just missing something

Similar to my 2022 experience. It is a minor thing but it wound me up that I’d be up at 8.30 and still have to queue 10-15 mins for a coffee or something to eat. That was replicated around the site though tbf. shower queues moved relatively fast and it was refreshing. Toilets were quality but agree there weren’t enough. However, I did find people queuing at the main ones when there were a few blocks 20 yards further on with no one in. that hill almost killed me, especially when I stupidly had a race with someone up it at 3am (and won) and its genuinely a question mark in my mind about doing it again as it such a pain in the arse. It did help me stay out more though!

Watching Young Fathers on iplayer...what am i missing here? 😄
