  1. Have been to 7 glastonbury's including this one, has never been this busy before. Everything i went to see was pretty crowded, including fairly small stuff on park like confidence man. There were 100% more people there than usual. As for why i don't know. I did meet someone on Friday who claimed to have come in through a tunnel in the unfairground so maybe there was some truth to the people sneaking in thing. Getting to any of the late night dj stuff without leaving for it well early was basically impossible. Wandering about in the day was far more difficult than usual. Just endless people. I remember festivals where west holts and park was fairly quiet for the entire day even when decent acts played. In 2019 the likes of Lizzo and Janelle Monae did not have crazy crowds. This year both were fairly packed for anything beyond lunchtime. Part of this was a poor lineup, sometimes no clashes so almost everyone would go to the same stuff, sometimes mega clashes, like on sunday night when there were 6 acts at once i wanted to see. Why not spread this stuff out. In addition, seemed like, less toilets, less oxfam water points. Just worse in every possible way. I loved 2019 and found this way below par. Probably the worst I've been to, despite a few memorable acts, particularly kendrick and macca. Really gutted, and don't think I'll go next year. If there was mud this would have been a total disaster and probably the worst for a long long time. The crowds were ridiculous and it would have taken hours and hours to get anywhere
  2. Simply seeing a rainy day image doesn't mean much, 1-2mm of rain is pretty meaningless
  3. It's annoying how it swings wildly from incredible perfect or even too hot conditions, to an outright shitshow from one day to the next. I'd settle for mostly dry and mostly warm.
  4. No scum this year then it looks like. Lame
  5. Would warn that the Chinese ones often over state their charge. Stick to the likes of anker for solid quality.
  6. Yes they are, but if you look at what they are referring to as rain there, it's very low amounts. 0.7mm on Thursday, 0.8 on friday, 2.8 on Saturday. Only the Saturday one is of any consequence.
  7. Am i right in assuming at this point that the scum stage doesn't exist anymore? Seems a real shame if so, offered something truly different and I know plenty of people made the effort to go. Napalm death got a great turn out.
