- I've never seen security going around confiscating drugs at the festival before, unless you're obviously dealing and then it's usually the police.
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.

I mean you surely spent enough time on the shit thread to know that having it with little / no symptoms exists ? So a test would be sensible if you were to be doing this ? It’s a test that’s available and not hugely expensive … which might Prevent someone that has to avoid such things getting it … we don’t have available tests for flu so obviously we can’t test for that
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.

Do we go back to our ways of letting those at risk look after themselves and take their own steps to shield themselves from picking things up, or do we change our attitudes and begin to look out for, and protect, each other a little more? I'm not sure what the right answer to that question is honestly. But it seems to be something we have to collectively come to terms with.
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.

I would think so too, living with it doesn't mean willingly spreading it.
You wouldn't go to a gig with a nasty flu and spread that around would you?
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.

To be fair if you go to see Bob Dylan you know your not getting the classic. Probably why he's never headlined Glasto recently (can't be bothered to check if he did it back in the day)
I could have stomached it if they were at least Sinatra classics but they weren’t either 😆

Bob Dylan did hey jade??
😆 😜
No but he did do a Sinatra cover album that I paid £85 for the privilege of watching him play instead of the classics 😬

Stop shouting "w*nk" at your TV while a multi million selling legend plays some solo tunes to an absolutely massive pyramid crowd.
Oasis aren't getting back together no matter how hard you wish for a brit pop return 😉
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 being shown on BBC 1 from 10:30 but I think the stream should be from 9:30
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.

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?

Nothing to do with a rise in drug use, more a change in drug use.
Just wondered if there had been a shift from things like MDMA and acid to coke? I may be completely wrong of course, but it would possibly explain a more disrespectful attitude in the crowd amongst some people.
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. -

Unfortunately, I think you are generally right.
It’s all subjective though, one persons c**t is another persons best friend they’ve never met.

I know a lot of the problems at football this season are due to the rise in people doing a load of coke. Could that be a contributing factor to a change in crowd behaviour at Glastonbury too?
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.

But that means not booking Macca or Kendrick just so Foals can play a slightly bigger stage. And that would be very stupid.
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
Fake Security Stealing Drugs

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.
