Was Metallica that late?? Definitely the winner then.

What’s the biggest full line up surprise to date? I know there’s been a couple but I can’t remember.

I think you should join that sleazy bowls club 😁

It hasn’t been an issue yet tbh and it’s definitely not worth even a slightly heated debate, but it basically comes down to either absolutely everyone being able to read this thread or some people feeling like they have to exclude themselves from it. Politely asking for any spoilery photos to go in a separate thread isn’t too much bother I’d say.

Sure. Or… Maybe people who want to post site pictures that aren’t from the webcam could do it in another thread that isn’t the webcam thread where we talk about the webcam 😁

This is what I’m looking forward to! My old man is having an absolute whale of a time in his retirement, bought himself a camper van and is constantly off somewhere exploring and meeting new people. He’s doing it right, well proud of him.

Maybe a separate thread for photos with spoilers would be nice. Then people who want to look at the webcam but don’t want spoilers can still have their fun. Starting a separate thread for no spoilers webcam chat doesn’t seem right.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned, there’s now a proper co-op on site with all sorts in it. Might be worth sticking your head in there for some quality snacks at least. They definitely have lots of fruit 👍

When I got into my 40s I realised how wrong I was to ever think I was old in my 30s. No doubt when I get to my 50s it’ll be the same with my 40s. And so on. Dunno what the moral of that is tbh. You’re only ever as old as you feel maybe? Basically I’ve completely stopped worrying about it now. A DJ I follow on Instagram was moaning about how old they felt on their mid 20somethingth birthday the other day. I definitely made this actual face ->🙄

I am displeased at having to tick 41-50.

I’m that partner! It’s almost like I’m her festival support vehicle. She’s lucky I like her so much tbh

This post wins the thread. I’m definitely getting one, does anyone have any recommendations?

Even as a rampant bag wearer I have to agree with this tbh

The evolution of the festival between about 2007 and 2014 is mad really.

Messenger bags are handy because they’re very easy to swing from back to front in crowded spaces, and also easy to get into without taking them off.

It was kinda being born back then, all sorts of weird shit was going on down there that wasn’t part of the official program. Nothing like on the scale it is now though, think the first year of Shangri La was 2008? Mad how much smaller 2003 was, definitely didn’t feel it at the time. The map looks well sparse!

Why is it that whenever people discuss how they choose to do things slightly differently based on their personal preferences it always rapidly descends into petty tribalist squabbling?! That’s a question for society at large btw, this thread is just the latest in a very long line of examples. Bags vs cargo short ffs 😂

That sounds really interesting, hope I can fit it in.

Reckon that this... ... is the big motor that made the crane spin round? Must weigh a bit.

The aesthetic inside that tent is always so jarring, I actively avoid looking in lol

😂 We need to be allocated more upvotes tbh

Curious how people without bags carry their water bottles?

About 5 years back at the stone circle on the Wednesday night I saw a group of full on clichéd hipsters with immaculately manicured beards sat grilling various meats on an actual BBQ they'd brought along and carried up there. Looked like way too much effort, on many levels. They were gazing about seeming a bit bemused that about 20,000 people had turned up in their BBQ field to watch fireworks.
