With Dua for Levitating? That would be amazing 🤩

I got an oxfam place 4 days before the festival in 2019 via an alert from distill. There’s always hope! Good luck!

Look how empty wicket is! I really hope they give some of that back to general camping this year..

I’ve got a fluffy pink Joe Bananas blanket that I got at one of my first festivals (97/98) and it’s come to many festivals since, though I’ve gone super lightweight now and bring a Eurostar blanket instead.

Somehow they seem to fit epic sized crowds on Copacabana beach.. 4.2m (the world record biggest crowd for a gig) for Rod Stewart (why!?) and 1.5m for the stones. The estimated crowd for Madonna is 2m.

True, I was forgetting about the bank stumping up loads of cash 😂 even if Glastonbury had the cash I think being able to just repeat the show exactly as she’s been doing it for 7 months is probably a big factor.

From what I’ve read of Madonna’s celebration tour finale in Rio it’s basically “the same but with sand” so they’re going to do the floating box and all the catwalks it seems.. which might explain why she chose Rio over Glastonbury to end the tour. (Being able to pull a crowd of 2 million probably swings it a bit too). I feel like that was maybe the last chance of Madonna doing a headline Glastonbury set.. would she ever do the legends slot.. not sure I can see it..

We ended up in lime kiln last year because Wicket was all family camping.. so wondering whether wicket will be back in use this year (there seemed to be so much unused space last time maybe they’ll leave a section as general camping again). Not sure I can be bothered to trek any further from Gate A.. lime kiln was perfectly fine, the view is good and neighbours were nice, liked calling in at San Remo on the way home every night.

If that’s what GFL need to do to keep the ticket price down for us all then I don’t have a problem with it, it’s definitely preferable to on site presence for a lot of brands which would just feel weird.

I agree, she’s really great at between song banter and she has a great voice (which I was worried about after seeing some poor quality you tube videos from gigs and festivals). I was really impressed by how much bigger and more guitar heavy the songs sound live. I can’t get my sh*t together was epic! Really can’t wait to see her again.

Very happy to see BabyQueen, she’s one of my favourite artists atm. Though I agree it seems a weird stage for her to play.. I would’ve put her on woodsies.. Lots of others like Go Team, Toyah and Kate Nash that I might see depending on clashes.

Rarely see anything on the acoustic but I’d go see the gypsy kings if there’s no other clashes..

I saw lots of chasing from security up at worthy view gate on my shift there in 2019.. they caught them too.

But it’s such an obvious route in, been happening for years.. surely they’d have figured out a way to stop it!? If they weren’t being strict on vehicles coming in surely that would be a breach of their license?

I’m surprised there’s so much of it apparently going on. Having worked the gates for oxfam I didn’t think it was that easy to sneak in.
