Is it Glastonbury if you don't project Love Island before a 10pm bedtime?

BUMP. Queue photos, people!! Here's my current on site photo, getting ready to bed down so I get a good night's sleep for our first proper festival day tomorrow!

I am not entirely sure of what road closures and such are in place but normally yes. You want to end up on the A361 going eastbound from Glastonbury town to get into orange

Get on the M5 around Bristol and get off I think j23? The one after Weston. You want to come in from Glastonbury town end.

Have been here since Sunday, but I can hear you all the other side of the fence getting ready to join us and it's made me a bit emotional! See you all in the morning!!!! I start work at 8.30 but hoping to at least catch a bit of Gate C opening up.

Maybe, but singing with covid is pretty tough for at least a few days, even when you get it mildly! I do think we'll see some cancellations.

I admire the grift Zahid, but there has to come a point where you accept people just don't agree with you. Plurality of opinion is the spice of life. See you in the fields!

OH NO!!! really hope you come out the other side in time for the festival.

I'd offer you a lift down too, but I think Sunday might be a bit TOO early for you 😂. Good luck, what a shitter mate.

Today, I tested negative for COVID for the first time in 8 days. COME ON!!!! The best prep day ever.

No shade at all on trolleys, love a well loaded trolley. I once fixed someone's trolley that had collapsed literally at Gate A as we were going in. We drank 2 lukewarm Strongbow together in celebration and he went on his way. I'm simply volunteering myself for a Glasto Olympics team. I could definitely carry enough alcohol for 5 days on my person, on the basis of say my 2000 Glastonbury drinking total, not on the basis of my contemporary drinking habits. I don't really drink, which is probably why I could carry all that on my person nowadays... 😂

I would love to take that call. I'd keep them on the phone for ages asking questions.

If you don't leave your tent, what's the point of going?

I am not personally in this tense bidding war, but I feel invested. Is there parking in with it? As a campervanner - yes you probably could rent a van for cheaper, but that's not necessarily a better option than this. You have to drive it there, great if its your van and you enjoy doing it but can be a bit hairy, plus this has extra facilities. If that's what people want to spend their money on to have a fun festival then fair play. It all also helps get more local buy in and support for the festival as local landowners can set up things like this that help them make a bit of money too.

I know its an early start, but theres a 2am coach from Cov (swap in Brum) gets you on site for 7.30 thats £50. Always worth checking what the difference with a coach railcard is (I assume you can get one cause you have a train one) cause it shouldn't be massively expensive. Most rail companies are allowing refunds on tickets bought over the period so hopefully you can get your £70 back, or the outgoing bit at least, and getting BACK from the festival, even though it might be a bit of a pain, probably isnt as time sensitive for you as making sure you get on site! If you're really stuck getting back, drop us a DM because we'll be driving back to Brum Monday afternoon although there's a big awning to squeeze your feet around haha
