  1. Same - TLC was horrible. Only other time i remember it was the crush leaving Bjork years ago from the Other stage.
  2. beginning my cooler based plans given its going to be a HOT ONE
  3. Another strategy is to book a later National Express off site, or indeed the train.
  4. Be there from the Sunday this year. Hope to make the efests meet on Monday!
  5. Looks like a decent line up to me! Can't forget that many of the smaller festivals with less pull than Glastonbury lock acts down for exclusives now, so that will contribute to why some people aren't on the bill. I'm sure Pulp are billed as a UK exclusive for somewhere else. Shania is a legend for a legend's slot. Not sure 90s throwback is an apt description of a country legend! I think its often just the case that "the best" Glastonbury was when we were 18. Roll on June!!!
  6. Not falling for those sold out tweets - gonna keep refreshing til June....
  7. Just clicked F5 on the forum page. Sure.
  8. Same - ticket from HMV two weeks before, saturday job money one week before as spends.

    Just got back

    Hard same. Vibe was immaculate. Felt like the 90s!
  10. Cat Stevens doing Father and Son by Boyzone
  11. That's really good to know! I hope you have a photo of MegaAwning for us!
  12. Red Gate is also Gate A on maps. Goose Hall, if you are using a festival map to guide you, is right by Williams Green by the meeting point. It's a big stone building with a red roof. Have a great time!
  13. A - Whose that coming out with him? B - It's Jake Shears C - It's not Jake Shears, it's Brandon Flowers B - No it's not, it's Jake Shears C - Look, it's Brandon Flowers! B - Who? C - Brandon Flowers!! B - Who??? C -Brandon Flowers, from The Killers!!! B - The Killers?? Never heard of them. Bloke then walks off never to return.
  14. You don't know why people are sitting. Some people are older and can't hack standing for hours on end. If someone is sitting towards the back of the crowd they really aren't harming you or anyone. I was sat very much at the back of an empty crowd and someone kicked my foot, I think on purpose tbh - maybe it was you? I was sat down cause I have a ton of tumours in my stomach, particularly on my right side. They kicked my right foot and I'm still in pain from that today. If you're so irate about it that you're "catching people on the way through" you might need a sniff of those baggies making everyone hug each other that you hated too! 😂

    2024 dates

    It's the first full weekend after the solstice - 21st June is on the Friday and so is not after it. So effectively the same thing.
  16. Pulled in Pylle Lane about 1pm Tuesday. Camped in E17 two thirds of the way to the back. Probably as far as we could be! But no big bother on the walk. Left site at 4pm. Took two hours to get onto Pylle Lane but it was fast flowing from then on. Was definitely poor traffic management on site. Got to Birmingham for 10pm after an obligatory Gloucester Services tea.
  17. I saw five Rovers tops! I was counting cause my camp mate was a rovers fan and wore one every day (he didn't count so 6) and I played spot West Brom (4) vs Rovers.
  18. Coventry. I've been to the Ricoh and I swear their entire home support was in attendance 😉
  19. I think you are on to something with reduced tickets for under 25s or there abouts. I really noticed the increased number of younger people on site this year compared to last and I think it's so important. I love Glastonbury and I try and get there every year - but it's a love born when I was 15 years old. I don't think I would ever be able to afford it today in the same situation, it would only be a pipe dream. I was able to get a ticket with one weeks wage from my weekend job having done a few extra hours as well, and I sustained myself with the next weekends wages which defo was mostly taking my own rice pouches and a camping stove plus sh*t whiskey! But still.
  20. I had a pie, mash and peas from Sam's Pie for breakfast one day for the same reason and it was an epic decision! Down with bacon rolls. Didn't eat a bad meal all festival. Highlights were the burgers from Eat the Farm - top chips too - and our now festival staple, the Mega Crepe from by BBC introducing. Cookie dough wrapped in a crepe. Too much, over the top, perfection.
  21. I think 2007 was first year of The Park? Saw Lily Allen open it. It was meant to be MIA but she was MIA.
  22. Same same - definitely up there with my best, it really reminded me of 2000 in lots of ways. Felt like an old school Glasto. Your avatar had reminded me of another delight. SO MANY QUEER PEOPLE. not just cause you can tell cause couples but like, groups of queer friends, lots of great content, the trans pride crew in Nomad. It just felt like the gays had come out to play! Was very cool indeed.
  23. Rapid!! I'm glad I didn't see this. I'd had two Pina Coladas!! My OH's and therefore my 2nd team. I was going to play Super Saturday and try and get a selfie with someone in every Championship team top I could spot but it was too hot for shenanigans.
  24. Elton Carl Cox Chems on Arcadia Honorable mentions to Texas, Beth Orton, The Unthanks and Carly Rae Jepsen who I didn't see all of but was excellent
  25. I thought they were excellent!
