    I'll be on the front lines of that campaign, been lobbying for more fuzzy-garage-psych on the farm for years, only really had king gizzy from that crowd.

    Absolutely. I find it amazing that Thee Oh Sees have never played. It needs to happen

    So gutted they've not come north and I've not been able to get down south, ZAM is a record and a half.

    I think the campaign to get them on the farm next year starts now. Bought Zam last night and they signed it for me. Great lads!

  5. In May 2015 my brother was diagnosed with terminal lung Cancer. He went down hill so quickly that he passed away on the Monday before the gates opened. I'd been in the hospice for 3 weeks straight with little sleep and very few breaks. Glastonbury was the last thing on my mind but my wife and sister convinced me to go. On the Wednesday and Thursday I put on a brave face and went through the motions but I wasn't coping well at all. However, that year it was a friend's first year and his enthusiasm and happiness of being there was infectious. He was completely blown away by the place and the experience. If it wasn't for him I might have gone home. The music started and on the Friday morning King Gizzard started playing and I felt myself smiling for the first time in weeks. It really is amazing how good friends and music can get you through the toughest times in your life.

    Did it rain in 2013 I have no memory of this, I remember sleeping in the park on the Saturday as I had over indulged on the Friday and I remember getting burnt on the Friday as a nice lady was concerned at my face and gave me sunscreen. That was my first Glasto and I have a lot of photos and none seem to be in rain or mud

    It only rained on the Thursday from about 2 until Friday morning. It was a very dull and damp start to the festival ( And I'm not talking Beady Eye) and then the Sun came out for about 3 or 4 hours and without a hat or Suntan lotion I thought it'd be a good idea to burn my face off. Moral of the story....It doesn't matter how damp or cloudy it is ALWAYS have a hat with you.

    Ah, that's excellent. Them and 'Smoking Buns' both excellent places. Genuilely bewildered how the other, inferior, dogshit burger vans are still in business at festivals.

    I've often found if it says 'Gourmet' it's best to avoid. I'd love to see The Grazing Shed to make an appearance. I had a couple of burgers there at Greenman last year and they were great

    Tropical Fuck Storm touring UK and Europe between May and late June, the least they can do is nip into Glasto if they're gonna be so rude and ignore Manchester. 

    Gutted they've ignored Manchester and Birmingham. I hope they'll turn up at the farm.
