It’s not an assumption. In the past Silver Hayes security have been taking peoples drugs so they can sell them. I have seen it.

I have. In silver hayes (especially wow) every year. Entering the crowd and confiscating from anyone young enough to intimidate and then you can see them behind the stage handing them to their mate in “plain clothes” who takes them back out into the festival and sells them.

To be fair asymptomatic flu spread is also a thing, although much less likely and they recommend you don’t go swimming for two weeks after having norovirus but I bet most people had never heard of the latter and nobody tests for flu unless they’re ill and we managed in the past. I know Covid has been a big deal for you and Glastonbury was an even bigger deal in more ways than one but the truth is you can’t avoid it forever and there’s a very high likelihood when you do get it, it’ll be completely fine but probably a bit unpleasant for a few days and then replace the previous “worst thing I’ve ever had”* I also thought that since Omicron came along, although it’s milder for most people, it’s also less likely for people to be asymptomatic. Could be wrong but I’m sure I’ve read that a few times. So people still testing themselves without symptoms probably need to be a bit careful they don’t end up falling down an OCD rabbit hole for life. *I’m generalising there I have no idea what your medical history is.

It’s a bit of both really isn’t it? The same as most bugs we pick up from year to year. If you’ve got the flu, avoid the elderly for a couple of days after the worst. If you’ve got norovirus avoid the elderly and infants for a couple of days after the world has fallen out of both ends. With Covid you may need to add a couple of days onto that if you’re being extra careful. But at the same time if someone is willing to put themselves in a big crowd of people touching shoulder to shoulder then in my eyes they have already accepted any perceived risk. It’s not everyone else’s responsibility to make sure they’re free from all viruses.

Isn’t that exactly what we did pre covid? (Maybe not real flu because we’d be bed ridden at the start at least) Lots of comments in this thread saying they thought it was the usual virus they pick up every year at Glastonbury. Did any of those people ever consider the consequences of spreading that virus around? No, because we didn’t have a little home test kit to find out what it was, we just got on with it.

I’m 2 minutes delayed and this finally made sense 😂

I could have stomached it if they were at least Sinatra classics but they weren’t either 😆

No but he did do a Sinatra cover album that I paid £85 for the privilege of watching him play instead of the classics 😬

Just like Bob Dylan

What the hell is this set list? Have the bbc cut out all the good ones?

Exactly. Oasis aren’t needed.

Nobody wants Oasis to get back together. Avalanches were great on the park, everybody having fun except the guy in blue who is clearly annoyed that he’s been dragged there by his missus and didn’t get to see Noel play a shit indie disco.

Stop playing the w*nk pop songs and play more from the masterplan you boring old man.

It’s not been listed on the stream all day. Noel is the last thing on the schedule..

Don’t tell me he’s not letting the BBC show it live or in full 🤦🏻‍♂️

If it wasn’t for tiktok I’d have no idea who OR was. Seems to be doing great.

Aren’t the TBA’s tomorrow?

Paulo Nutini is performing a song for the BBC on their little TV set above the park at 8 this evening so looks like tomorrow is almost definite now?

I’ve always assumed coke was quite a popular choice of drug at Glastonbury due to how easy it is to get hold of and the energy boost. 5 days of drinking, dancing, walking around a huge site and sleeping on the cold hard ground is not easy work. I’ve never really found MDMA to be a consecutive days drug either. I need a couple of days break if I want it to feel any effects from it.

It’s all subjective though, one persons c**t is another persons best friend they’ve never met.

If there’s one place that wouldn’t notice a rise in drug taking it’s Glastonbury. For me it’s the yearly shift towards a pop festival from top to bottom. I would never have gone to v festival, not because I didn’t like some of the lineups necessarily but because it was full of c**ts. If you start attracting those people expect a shift in the dynamic of the festival as a whole.

Can’t work out how it’s busier than 2017 and the EPO wristbands. There would have been far more people on site that year.

I mean without Covid McCartney wouldn’t be playing THIS year anyway. He was booked for the 50th not because Emily wanted him to play. Could have had Eilish, Foals and Kendrick.

You cannot tell me Foals shouldn’t be headlining the pyramid stage tonight with this back catalogue, they’ve barely got started and it’s been massive.

Foals are fantastic
