People shouldn't attend Glastonbury as their first festival. It is too vast and can be slightly overwhelming even as a seasoned festival attendee. Plus it will ruin all other festivals for you as you will make constant comparisons or feel underwhelmed. Only after attending smaller scale ones such as R&L or Creamfields etc or even day festivals can you truly appreciate how incredible Glastonbury is and all the work that goes into making it the best. I think going to Glastonbury as your first festival is like going on a 12 month round the world trip without ever having drizzly caravan holidays / Butlins / 18-30s holiday to [Insert holiday party island here]. That isn't to say I want to gatekeep Glastonbury or that there is anything wrong with the holidays listed above btw. I'm no snob.

Initial thoughts That beat on Mr Morales is going to be a special moment live. Definitely enjoying the second half of the album more than the first but overall really like it. Felt pretty emotional listening to Auntie Diaries. Not sure there is anyone else out there who would have the balls to write a track like that let alone put it on such a long awaited album.

Just about to come in here and say this. I was already a big fan, but the person I attended with knew nothing beforehand and was blown away come the end of the set. I could not believe how good it was & would have been happy to never see him play live again for fear of tainting that memory. But Glasto changes everything and you will see me down in the pit having the time of my life.

I was the original poster of that info & I am assured it was accurate at time of posting. However there has now been a change of plan & more sets have been secured.

I wouldn’t get hopes to high for multiple Kae sets. A friend is a good pal of theirs & apparently they have asked for fewer & smaller slots this year so they can enjoy more of the festival.

I am the notorious crier of my group. Pretty much anything can set me off. Some stand outs are: - London Grammar in 2014. - Adele as soon as the eyes opened on the big screen and the first notes played. Plus Someone Like You & When We Were Young. - Encore of Arctic Monkeys in 2013 - Worst was probably sobbing when Attenborough walked out in 2019. Felt completely overwhelmed that he was really there. Continued into Kylie much to my pals amusement. No stand out obvious contenders for 2022 but I’m sure someone will get some tears.

The dream would be for Silver Hayes to get a stage with a wrap around screen like the main stage at Dekmantel. Saw Orbital headline there the year I went and it is just mesmerising. It would definitely help draw some more people to that area too to help with the crowd distribution across the site.

Current availability as of 16:08 on 11/04/2022 for anyone in need. Haven't included 2 person options in screengrab as all sold out.

Seeing Massive Attack headline the Other over Kasabian in 2014. I had seen Kasabian before so opted for Massive Attack who had been on the “to see” list for some time. Other people speak so highly of it, but I was stood there bored shitless & found it very dull. I was gutted listening to Kasabian from a distance & knew the few from my group who opted for them would be loving it. I was right, and I felt so bitter watching it back on iPlayer I don’t think I even made it through the entire set. I know they are not everyone’s cup of tea (even more so these days) but it looked like such a party.

I don’t think I’ve ever made it on to my assigned See coach back to London on a Monday in 5years of getting the coach. I’ve gone both earlier & later than my reserved one. In 2014 I went for my assigned one & it was filled so ended up being put on the next one anyway. Like others have said, they just want people off site ASAP. They don’t even pretend to look at tickets. You will be fine.

If anyone is still looking for a ticket for this, I am about to put one back up for resale. Unfortunately was going in pair but my friend has now been called up to be bridesmaid in a wedding & I don’t fancy going solo. https://ww2.theticketsellers.co.uk/q/725e1ca57da94d288c26669e36b6692b above is the link for the ticket if anyone is in need 🎟

Saw Dave at the O2 last night which was incredible. The sound was spot on, could hear every word even over the super loud crowd. The stage & light set up was fantastic too. He played all the hits & a couple of older ones which is fab along with loads of special guests as was his hometown show. Even had a very touching tribute to Jamal Edwards at the end which was great. To anyone going to round2 tonight, I am very jealous! If he is at Glasto, it would take someone incredibly rare to keep me away from his set.

Just signed up for the Vitality London 10K as a charity runner. Did Couch to 5K in May - July of last year and was happy to comfortably get to 5K and finally started enjoying it. However Covid caught me during the Euros which really messed up my lung capacity. Could barely break into a jog without feeling like I was going to hyperventilate. So I sort of lost heart after that and have done very few runs between July and now. Managed 3.5k on New Years Day without any issues so know I can build on that. Just a case of putting in the sessions again really and getting back into a routine. Whilst a charity run isn't about speed, I would still like to come out of it with an ok time and my pride in tact. So any hints or tips welcome. I will be running with my mum who started Couch to 5K with me, but has managed to keep it up even as I sloped off. She has been working towards a half marathon with the Nike training plan. If I can keep up with her on the day I will be chuffed.

If you think that is bad, a friend of mine left early Monday morning, headed to Bristol airport to catch a flight to watch the game in person. He says it is one of the most miserable experiences of his life. Although it can't have been that bad, as he said he would do the same again if it came to it. I feel most sorry for the people who had to sit near him on the flight considering he didn't have the chance to shower between festival & flight 🤢

Also this looks like it could be great

The people behind The Cause in Tottenham which recently had to close due to redevelopment have announced they are holding a 3 day event at Pontins Camber Sands 20th - 23rd May 2222. Former London club The Cause to host UK seaside festival in 2022 · News ⟋ RA If it is anything like Bugged Out Weekender used to be, it will be great fun!

Jesus Christ that was awful. Whoever signed off on that needs to have a long hard look at themselves.
