Mine probably is going way too hard on the Saturday night an having an 8am extravaganza with some strangers I'd just met, much to the annoyance of my girlfriend. I didn't leave the tent till 1800 on the Sunday which I'm particularly gutted about as I wanted to see so much on the Sunday day. I'm especially gutted about missing Herbie Hancock, and I was annoyed about missing Diana Ross although I hear I didn't miss a huge amount. We did decide to watch Bicep instead of Kendrick though, which was definitely the right choice.

I ruined my knees on the first day of 2019 by doing this, thinking that it was perfectly safe to carry 48 tins and a few boxes of wine in my rucksack wearing trainers after having already done the trip once. This year we got the coach, so we were forced to only take what we could carry, which drastically reduced the amount of nonessentials and made us pack a lot smarter, which definitely made the entry trudge a lot easier.

I actually heard from a friend working at the Park that Wet Leg were actually supposed to play bigger stage (John Peel/Other Stage) but their manager absolutely insisted that they play the Park stage. Something about remaining indie and having the 'kudos' of a absolutely rammed set. Made the experience of trying to see them a bit miserable to you ask me. Regarding the overcrowding, I definitely noticed it this year, whether or not there were more people, it must have been poorly managed as I was involved in quite a few crushes. Once on the Thursday(!!) on the railroad between the Avalon and Glade exits, and another trying to get out of Arcadia on the Saturday night.
