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.

You what??? 😂
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.

She chose Rio because they will pay her more than Glastonbury by a landslide. I don't think she'll ever do it. She received enough publicity from her tour to not need Glastonbury and reviews were far from poor.
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.

Her live show is very energetic and she engages with her fans really well. Which songs did you listen to? I’d recommend Raw Thoughts, Want Me, Colours of You and Ride or Die to get a feel for her various styles.Couldnk grab a link to your Avalon playlist?
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..

you would think so but last year this wasn't the case when i was working at least. saw a few leg it in and no one chased after them.
I saw lots of chasing from security up at worthy view gate on my shift there in 2019.. they caught them too.

It would be dead easy in the back of a van. The only people allowed to open a vehicle to look inside are security and they didn't seem to ever open anything up.
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.

Ooh.. fancy!

Seeing Cassyette at the Leadmill in Sheffield on Monday. Really excited as I missed her at G last year due to clashes.
I’m going too. Not really listened to her stuff, my friend suggested it.. so interested to see what she’s all about.

Bayou better be there.. if the arancini place could return after its year off that would be appreciated.

All paid up and ready for my 18th Glastonbury.
Can’t wait to see Dua headlining, looking forward to having a dance to LCD Soundsystem and Justice..I finally get to see Cyndi Lauper, not seen the Breeders for years, so much to be excited about. It’s going to be amazing. 🤩

Pre 2000 I used to go down to Glastonbury with a big gang who either used to jump the fence, were working there in some capacity or had blagged hospitality tickets... I always had a ticket, preferred the normal methods of entry to sneaking around the perimeter trying to find a gap or a dodgy bloke selling routes in.. a lot of them used to spend most of the weekend at the travellers field anyway, I popped out to visit occasionally but preferred to be inside the fence seeing bands. I remember the fence coming down behind the stone circle and everyone cheering. I’ve been working on gates when people have tried legging it in.. that’s always exciting 🙂

Nah, the Beautiful People were in Woodies having an amazing time watching Phoenix. It was half full and the atmosphere was fantastic!
Ben
Phoenix were amazing and the highlight of my festival but I wish the tent had been full. I prefer it when the pyramid doesn’t suck the life out of the rest of the festival.

My first two Glastonbury’s were the epic mud years of 97 and 98. It was a revelation to be able to sit on the ground without a bin bag the first dry year I went to.
Weather > Line up every time. I’d rather just spend a sunny year wandering the site looking for randomness than see my favourite bands in the rain. -
I love the first two days.. it’s all stretching out in front of you and there’s the excitement of reacquainting yourself with the site and seeing what’s new. By the time Friday rolls round I’m already feeling like times slipping away 🙃 I would repeat Wednesday and Thursday a few times before Friday hits ideally!
