Now that would be amazing! 🤩

With Coldplay headlining, Chris can’t very well bring himself out as a special guest (or can he? 🤔😂). I was at their gig in Manchester last year when they brought our Aitch, taking pretty much everyone by surprise! Now Aitch isn’t my thing at all, but he certainly went down well with the majority of the crowd. Some of their guests and collabs in the past have been pretty crazy! How about Dua and SZA, do we reckon they e got anybody up their sleeves? Megan Thee Stallion, Calvin Harris and Miley Cyrus have all collaborated with Dua. Doja Cat, Polt Malone and even Kendrick Lamar with SZA. Elton threw all of our theories out of the window with his guest list last year, so I’ve no doubt we’ll all be wide of the mark whoever we guess, but looking forward to hearing everybody’s crazy ideas!

Midnight coach from Liverpool for me, so in the queue sometime between 5 and 6am. Big group of us camp just inside Gate A, so with a bit of luck I'll be in, pitched and cracking open a celebratory breakfast cider by 9! 🍻

Following the discussion ahead of last years festival, I grabbed an international eSIM which can connect to any UK network (in much the same way as when we "roam" abroad), the logic being that it should automatically connect to whichever has the strongest signal, but I could manually change to another if the first was congested. Found this worked well, it usually connected to Vodafone as you'd expect, although I did switch a couple of times when I was struggling to get signal in big crowds. Since then I've been using a Lyca eSIM permanently alongside my my contract SIM (because O2 signal is awful everywhere!) so a bit torn on whether to revert to the international eSIM this time based on past success, maybe grab a Voda based eSIM, or potentially just leave my contract SIM at home, keep the Lyca eSIM for EE coverage and grab a PAYG Voda SIM so the two main bases are covered. Added advantage with that last option being no chance of accidentally answering a work call whilst "incapacitated". 🤣

Very strong lineup announcement this morning! 😍 Very much looking forward to my 3rd Beat Hearder, working the bars. Anybody else already got tickets for this year?

Car parks were rough this morning! I managed to get out with a push from some incredibly kind fellas who were also stuck and awaiting a tow, made it into the office for 09:40. Absolutely bloody amazing festival, even if I went far too hard after my shift on the last day 🙈 but by far the wettest I’ve ever known!

Rumour has it there’s a terrible cold doing the rounds which originated in Columbia. 👀 😂

I feel your pain! In until 5pm today, had cleared my diary completely and blocked it out with an 8hr "Worthy FM" meeting. Then got in today to find some joker has rescheduled a meeting to 3pm today. 😭

Rough and ready reckoner based on unit prices - best value (ie. cheapest way to get sozzled!) is Burrow Hill at £2.11 per unit.

Whilst I'm sure you're already aware, and I'm not suggesting for one minute that the people who've joined this forum just to comment on this thread asking for your ticket aren't genuine, be wary of scams - it's not just fake ticket seller scams doing the rounds, often buyers can be trying to scam too - whether paying with fake cash, dodgy bank/Paypal payments that are reversed, stolen money, spoofed paper trails of payments that don't exist etc. etc. Be careful, hope you manage to get rid of it and that your wife is soon on the mend.

Probably just getting back to my tent and trying to grab a couple of hours sleep before the coach home. 🙈🤣

One of the things I miss about being self employed was being able to sign off my Glasto OOO with "See you next Tuesday". 😉 Not sure I'd get away with that in the corporate environment 🤣

Sarah Crean, and she is indeed from Dublin. 🙂

Sat in work, procrastinating on eFests. Much like today 🤣 In roughly 1 week and 12hrs I'll be on my way 🤩

Stepped up the subtle messaging a little this year. 😉 FullSizeRender.MOV T-shirts, hats and hoodies follow a similar theme. 😁
