'MyLondon contacted BST Hyde Park about the rumours. They assured the gig is still going ahead and the support acts will be announced this week. A spokesperson told MyLondon: "This is going ahead and supports will be announced."' https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/bst-hyde-park-lana-update-27247755 ETA: aidenlangan95 beats me to it.

I was looking round at other people expecting similar bafflement, it was utterly bizarre and really out of touch.

Apologies, she was absolutely crap and spat on the people at the barriers. Really unpleasant, I got out of there sharpish.

Really enjoyed! Had a really considered set design and handed out sunflowers for the crowd to have, which was a nice touch. Saw someone in the SE Corner holding onto theirs for dear life at about 2am. A decently-sized crowd and very into the music. She then followed us to the John Peel popped up an hour later to join Phoebe Bridgers on stage!

Friday The Libertines (full set) Wet Leg (full set) Confidence Man (full set) Arlo Parks Phoebe Bridgers (full set) The Jesus and Mary Chain Little Simz (full set) Saturday Katy J Pearson (full set) Self Esteem (full set) Haim (full set) The Avalanches (full set) Mitski (full set) Kurupt FM (full set) Four Tet (full set) Calvin Harris (full set) Camelphat B2B Patrick Topping Joy Orbison T-Menace Sunday Lianne La Havas Diana Ross (full set) Elbow Kacey Musgraves Porridge Radio @ Crow's Nest Courtney Barnett (full set) Bicep (okay it was probably the last three-and-a-half songs but it was a good half an hour's worth)

There should be a poll option for 'no it won't put me off going but if the sort of people who are obsessed with Covid don't go I'll be even more keen to attend'.

I finished up at Diana Ross, went and got some food and came back to go to the loos nearby. Caught more of it than I would have liked because of queues, that's for sure. And no I wasn't getting a space for Lorde.

Wet Leg were far too quiet, somebody at the label must've forgotten to tell them to stand closer to the microphones. Elbow, I mean it's hard to say disappointing when you have zero expectations for them but christ it was awful. Third last on the Pyramid in the year 2022.

Should preface this by saying it was my first Glastonbury, and the only festivals I've done before were either Latitudes 2009-12 as a kid and a few day festivals in London more recently. As such, I've got quite a limited frame of reference to work off. I felt that all in all the crowd was largely lovely and kept themselves to themselves even during busier changes between sets. I was on stuff Friday and Saturday and did not feel intimidated by others in the crowd, nor did I feel like the festival was 'oversubscribed' or 'full of the wrong people' as some on here have suggested. I would say that the movement between Arcadia and the Park on Friday night was noticeably bad. Having been caught up in that, I don't really know what to suggest, but it was a hairy moment and one I would not like to repeat again. Beyond that, there were no other 'bad' crushes I experienced the whole festival. People's general sense to keep to the left meant that the two-way traffic was minimised, and it was a better time for this. The phenomenon of large outer crowd smaller front crowd was noticeable, and I was often a beneficiary of this: both Haim and Diana Ross were better for having had (relatively) empty crowds at the front of the Pyramid Stage. Ultimately, I think that the crowds do not deserve the navel gazing this thread has warranted. Yes, there were a couple of bizarre scheduling choices - such as Wet Leg on The Park at 2pm - but there were many good choices which helped to split the crowd up enough to avoid worse crushes. Ideally, you would experience a festival free of any kind of difficulties, but I have enough realism to accept that is extremely unlikely. I enjoyed my first ever Glastonbury tremendously, and nothing I experienced would put me off again.

As a first-time attendee, is this definitely the case? Seems mighty generous of them and negates the whole point of having timed exits no? I hope you're right mind you.

Didn't even know 4am coaches home on the Monday morning were a thing. 🤢
