Thought I read somewhere that Crowded House would be playing the Pyramid Stage Saturday.

i got the Make Bono History one. they came out in 2005 to coincide with Live8.

Great shot for the BBC producers too - get your mug on the telly!

I'll be taking my Tesco value gazebo which has been used at many events now, including 2 previous Glastos, so for the £12 it cost it owes me nothing. If it's windy it might break at Glasto and if it does the poles will go in the recycling bags and the cover in the rubbish. But all being well it will return with me to live another day.
Ever since my scouting days I've always insisted that all who camp with me sweep the area before we leave for all traces of rubbish.

I'm treating this year's festival as one of my stag do's and my best man has hinted that I will be required to wear a selection of dresses over the weekend. I'm not bothered though, having been going to Glastonbury for 10 years now I know I won't feel out of place, doubt I'll even get any funny looks! In fact I'm kinda looking forward to it... don't tell my fiancé though!

Excellent - Cheers Brothers!

Wasn't there a couple of other rides next to the ferris wheel? I could be wrong.

Here's what TOS has to say on it.
The Jazz World stage has been through many incarnations, but has now firmly established its identity within the Festival. It started life as the first extra music stage after the Pyramid and was called Stage Two. The programme has evolved over the years and the stage now hosts a generous helping of jazz and a wide range of World music, and touches bass with many types of funky fusion in between. There's been a lot more hip hop there in recent years, too. The field is also home to some of the finest food stalls at the Festival. Fact. -
There are a few in the circus field if I recall correctly and maybe a small ride or two in the outdoor performance area.

They should use Propellerheads - On her majesty's secret service. It's got most things - brass, orchestral and some of the deepest loudest bass ever!
-
I'm torn by this one too. Kasabian were fantastic in 2005 but I've never seen Pendulum. I guess it comes down to whether I'm in the mood for a dancy or rocky act. We'll see...
-
Thought I'd have a go at this. Below are the walking times in my opinion when conditions are ideal - walking (not running - chill man), daylight, you know where you're going, dry weather, no crowds. Add any of these factors and these numbers will obviously go up - as others have said, it can take an inordinate amount of time to get from place to place sometimes.
If anyone thinks I'm wildly out on this... well... do you're own one

Top work as usual Halvin - cheers.

It's not a widely known thing and they specifically don't advertise this, but you can pay for your parking on the gate. At least that has been the case in the past, I don't see any reason why this wouldn't continue. So by all means help someone out who has a spare (although I believe it's technically against the Ts & Cs of the ticket purchase) but if you can't get hold of one it's probably not the end of the world.

Perhaps someone could make one of these for the Glasto site:
I would quite happily create it but being at work I have no means to get the file uploaded anywhere.
We'd only need the main areas I think, ie.
Pyramid
Other
Jazz World
JP
The Park
Dance Village
Acoustic
Glade
Caberet/Circus
Trash City/Shangri La
Greenfields
Stone Circle
Avalon
Perhaps on one side of the table would be "without traffic" and the other "when crowded/drunk etc"
Who wants to have a go?

The past few times we've been to Glasto, we've bought all our booze from the Tesco at the end of the M32 in central(ish) Bristol at around 7am. Before the licensing laws were relaxed we had to time our drive from Norfolk to get us to Bristol just after 8am as that was when they used to start selling.

Thanks, all good info, keep it coming - I might just point him in the direction of this thread.
I think the promise of a pre-pitched tent and minimal traffic on the way in might just swing it, we'll have to see what he says. It's a training course for a new job so he has to show willing, I know he'll love it though, just need to convince him! Dontcha just love taking virgins along? I've got 4 going with me this year and 6 old schoolers - can't wait!!

Has anyone arrived on the Friday evening before? Me and most of our group are getting there Wednesday but one bloke (A Glasto Virgin too!) has a training course he has to attend that finishes at 5:30pm on the Friday. In Northampton. He's now thinking of a refund. Bad times. But I think we can persuade him that it'll still be worth arriving on Friday night. Good times.
There must be a fair number of people who don't/can't take the Friday off work and arrive on Friday evening... but the site is normally pretty much full at that point so it can't be that many? can it? So is he going to get a smooth (relatively) traffic free arrival to the site at around 8:30pm? Or will the masses that couldn't take the day off be big enough to make hours of queuing a necessity?
Personally I've had the time booked off since October as this is my stag do, so I'll be there Wednesday morning. But has anyone here arrived on the Friday?

As I've just said in the donations thread, it's a shame that the project I'm working on isn't quite open to the public yet as we could have raised even more for WaterAid - Virgin Money Giving
-
I've just donated a few quid to the cause. A great idea I think, I'll be along to watch and cheer the lions on!
Just a shame that JustGiving's new competitor hasn't quite launched to the public yet as we could have raised even more money for charity - Virgin Money Giving.

Only morons believe the Daily Mail.

I think you should arrive from the east side. Actually if you don't know where you're going to camp it doesn't really matter whether you arrive from the east or the west, but if you arrive from the east it'll be one less car in the queue on the west side where I'll be driving in from
