This was my 7th glasto and probably my 20th festival and I’ve never seen anything like it. Barely moved anywhere any quicker than a snails pace, couldn’t buy a coffee before 2pm because all of the queues were a mile long. Had a horrendous crush at Skream on the Thursday night where I spent 30 minutes pressed against a barrier at the entry to Stonebridge bar. Luckily I’m quite a big guy and I was literally holding the crowd back for about 10 mins as there was only one guy working the entrance. They finally got some proper security along but when I finally got in, everyone inside was too afraid that if they left they wouldn’t get back in, so the right hand wall was just an ocean of piss.
I probably sacked off around half of the bands that I wanted to see because I just knew I didn’t stand a chance of getting there.
Would love to see some official stats or statement on how and why this happened.
