Unless you have proof this is just stupid scaremongering. apology edit: proof below v blimey!

LDR had it all booked out for her hair appointment.

Well, I guess it's still going to be F5-ing for me then 🙂

whats the approx cost for a campervan pitch and ticket(s) - I'm already paranoid about not getting a ticket for next year 😄

I loved it 🙂

In no order as I can't decide # Lottery Winners at Strummerville - I've only ever heard their stuff on the radio, they were amazing live, it was bordering on a comedy show at points, I laughed and laughed, the crowd interaction was on point, I planned on seeing them at Greenpeace etc, but it didn't pan out. An amazing gig # Foo Fighters - a blinder of a set, so much energy! # Phil Hartnoll djing at Tow and Hitch - some amazing tunes, but on my list as I struck up the courage to go to the little window in the 'booth' and shake his hand 🙂 A memory to cherish 🙂

been going to the festival for nearly 30 years, and I reckon this years was the best one so far for me. A lot of the stuff in this thread (chairs, flags, temps/shade, beers, prams, pinch points) have been 'issues' for years and are never going to change, they are ingrained in the festival now, the festival has been very popular for years now, so people that started going in the 90s will have kids/prams/chairs/need shade/have flags etc - I'm not a fan of flags, but it's just how it is. I genuinly don't have anything I'd change, apart from fantasy land stuff like 'cheaper beer', I put up with flags, and people with kids are as welcome as anyone else. And 'busy on Thursday' has no fix, other than to fully open the stages, which we know Mendip Council will probably never agree to, so its always going to be crowded at the small amount of venues open, because 90% of people are already on site by then. anyway, I loved every second, and very much hope I get a ticket for next year.

I met up with some friends i haven't seen in a few years and we got chatting and time ran away, I cycled past later, but couldn't see anyone I recognised from last time, so didn't stop. Hopefully next year 🙂

yeah, this was my 21st Glastonbury, I live in a constant state of either wanting to be at Glastonbury or actually being at Glastonbury

My phone logged 136km from Tuesday lunchtime to about 3am Monday morning. I like walking when it's hot 🙂

lol

Banging out the ageism I see. Glass houses and all that.

The fabled and rare triple-down

found the beeb article with the early starters: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66013113

Is that you, Lana?

9/10 on the weather for me (a bit too windy for my liking) my nose is sunburnt and the backs of my legs are practically glowing red, but loved it. even the showers on wed am weren't too bad.

There was another article where they interviewed a guy from Portugal (I think) who had got to the front at 4AM to get a spot, had a full costume and food/drinks for the day 🙂

deals, favours and excellent friends got me this set for this year, saw the sun come up at Broke Britain dancing to jungle, shook hands with Phil Hartnoll in T&H but mildly dissapointed (but can understand why) that the T&C rules changed this year so that guests were not allowed in until after 12pm, which meant I missed the cut off for the fry up in the catering tent 😕

I met up with friends who only got there on sunday evening and were 'making the most if it' so ended up crashing out at about 2:30am (I left them to it at Lonely Hearts) so I didn't get packed up to leave E17 Camper (I was right at the back) until 11AM, at which point I moved about three car lengths, then didn't move again until 3pm, inched out the fields for another 2 hours, and by the time I got to the road, the nearest camper fields were empty, so quite possibly it was a free for all to get out. Home by 6PM - I got home earlier than that in the last muddy year when we all got towed out 🙂 Still, enjoyed the lie in 🙂

Any ides on what other crew bands can get in there? abuddy of mine is working there but is terrible at replying to mesages, othersie i'd just ask 😄

This is my 21st Glastonbury,and based on last years crowds and previous pinch points over the years, I'd say it's a normal year so far. It was busy at the bandstand for the two guys who do dance covers on guitars, and I was at strummervile for Lottery winers, whcih was rammed, but not dangerous, but it's thursday and there isn't trhe amunt of things going on to spread the crowd.

security at the top of the hill were getting very shouty at people doing that 🙂

I have a quest(ion) though - is there anywhere on site (probably green fields) that sells mead? 'discovered' it earlier this year, and it's simply amazing!

still got the ale selection thought:

Very strict this year, I have a T&C band but that is only allowing acces from mid-day to 3AM - so i can't get in early for a fried breakfast 😕 I don't think they are allowiing any other wristbands in. Interestingly Maceos is also mega strict, so far anyway, I have a plethora of other bands, but not a Block9 and not allowid in last night or tuesday night.
