4 us drove down from Scotland for it - all our first time there but all with a fair amount of festy experience otherwise... In most ways Glasto is incredible and they do so much right compared to others - no overly heavy handed security, LOADS of different food and drink options as opposed to the super limited corporate options, friendly punters and a massively eclectic line up. I'd say one thing that you get more of elsewhere is being able to chat to folk around the site. Several times I'd try spark up a conversation with someone about who they were going to see etc and they all just seemed to be in survival mode with no time for chit-chat. I'd also say, and this is totally personal, that the line up wasn't THAT good. For the sheer volume of artists performing, it was fairly rare that there was anyone who I was desperate to see and when I did take a punt on one of them I usually wasn't that interested (again, this is a purely subjective take). Compared to the majority of other festivals where every decision is taken with profit in mind, Glasto is incredible and I'm super excited at the prospect of going again next year with a brand new line up.

I read this article today and this thread was the first thing I thought of https://thequietus.com/articles/31725-glastonbury-festival-review-people-eh?fbclid=IwAR2D5NB3e9t8QmOCah3y9pDHFk7TOFnCtxe8USZoviE0PqlkwuXtYwKXmls&fs=e&s=cl

When folk go to a 200’000 person event and act surprised when it’s busy

The toilet queues were fine

Heading down from Glasgow in half an hour. First time at Glasto and actually cannot believe it's FINALLY here. Yas

Iphone says sunny/cloudy That's good enough for me

Thanks so much everyone for your replies. We're all really good pals and all very familiar with the festival environment (just never managed to score Glasto tickets before) so there's nothing to worry about on that front! A shed is a GREAT idea. I see Amazon have even started selling tiny homes 🤔

Hey. Me and a bunch of pals are heading to glasto for the first time this year. We’re thinking that instead of individual tents we’ll just take one big one (4m wide bell tent). I’m just wondering if there’s a cap on tent size? I know it’s not the biggest tent in the world but I really don’t want to be made to take it down after we get there! cheers!
