I decided last year was my last festival - I watched Elton John from the front row of the Pyramid (for me that couldn’t be topped). When it finished I made the long trek to Glastonbury sign and just sat there for a good hour taking it all in for one last time and celebrating how lucky I’d been to get tickets every year since 2013. Whatever the line up has been, I’ve had amazing times even going the last 4 festivals solo and now I’m looking forward to watching it on TV having handed the baton over to someone new. It will always remain a very, very special place.
Just watched him on iPlayer - I’d heard about his performance in the news.
It was so sad to watch, he was really struggling out there and I’m so glad he’s taking a break.
Huge credit to everyone there who sang along and helped him get through it - I’m not an emotional person, but it bought a tear to my eye watching him.
Get well soon fella
BunnyChow - a scooped out half loaf filled with red hot or mild chilli, or a mix to make medium, topped with sour cream and a large garlic crouton.
Didn’t think they were there this year as they had moved from near the The Other stage, but found them along from Leftfield/West Holts
From what I watched:
1) Elton - incredible and I was 3 people from the front
2) Chvrches
3) Manics
Just back home and I’ve watched Editors and Fatboy on iPlayer and those sets looked epic also
Example on The Glade - it was carnage !!! With not a great deal on elsewhere and no Williams Green, they should consider using West Holts maybe if they want to continue with Thursday big acts.
I’ll be putting my Out of Office on in 2 hours 15 mins, then home for a packing session. Tuesday drive down to my mates in Bristol for a craft beer pub crawl before getting the 9:30 coach on Wednesday. sh*t getting real now 😂
