There's a Hanoi Kitchen near me in Walthamstow and their banh mi is S tier, absolutely fantastic

f**k it, i can't remember how to post images, but all my faves are there and happy to have bahn mi back - the tasty side of colonialism

Absolute scenes when you all join and it's just me and @Mardy spamming dank memes

I've had 3 different networks there and they've all been trash. Hell, in 2021 there was like 20 minutes you couldn't get a beer cos it was too bad even for the card machiens They used to at least have some wifi by the campfire. I don't need it for much - mostly telling my wife I'm still alive, but my mates tend to clump together cos we're like "we'll never see each other again" if we leave

I couldn't send a text message but those lads were streaming the cricket all weekend

Always been lush weather whenever I've been, so I feel like this may be my first wet one

The best part of the whatsapp group is that reception at the site is so bad you'll never get the messages

I'm a huge huge fan, so I'd like, die? if it was? But being realistic, it would be the coup of the century if they pulled that off. Feels just a tad too far fetched

that is......a very good point.

Wet Leg is an interesting shout as the mystery band because (and I say this as a positive), they're a band who are very aware of their own mystique, and this very much fits their idiom. The thing putting me off is that a long slot for how long their shows usually are

I would say there is a zero percent chance that's the case. The people behind EOTR are consummate pros

Regardless of my opinion on the line up, I'm glad it's sold out cos they are good people trying to do good things

Cheers people. I've managed to swag a large pitch ticket so we should be golden. Also we can only ever come from Friday so it also means not having to find a slot to pitch in which is less stress too

It is of course worth noting that Clashfinder is a self selecting and unrepresentative panel. The large amount of people who just come to have a nice time and sit in front of a stage aren't looking at it, and since chairs are banned from the Garden stage after like 5pm or something, they'll be at the Woods, whatever is on That said they do close the Garden stage if it gets too full so worth getting there early for Angel imo

my humble opinion - it still hasn't sold out, if it was PJ Harvey they'd have unofficially leaked it imo

My crew switched from Glasto to EOTR, mostly cos it's just so much easier. Yeah you don't get Elton's last ever show, but it also doesn't take 90 minutes to get out of the field afterwards either. Been to 3 EOTR's and I think I've cumulatively queued about 10 minutes for drinks, and that's pretty much just for lageritas

That's incredibly helpful mate, cheers. Tbh whilst I can party with the best of them, I prefer to do it where there's actual entertainment. Once I'm back, I'm going to sleep, so I don't mind sedate tbh!

Well, it appears we're now doing campervan for the first time. What's the field like? How big are the pitches? there's four of us and it will be tight in the van so we're gonna need to throw up a tent outside for the latest back to sleep in

Hey pal, is this still available?

it's still last year's map atm

My first fest was 07 and I was very much whelmed by LV. Shangri La the following year was like that concept taken to another dimension. Blew our minds!

No, Woods and Garden are a decent distance away, and Garden is enclosed. Folly and Big Top are tents. The bars don't really play music, and other music stuff is in the woods so well covered

Not totally comparable, as it was a much smaller pool of people, but ATP thought they could get the same 5k people to go to four festivals a year. Worked out well for them and their creditors. Oh.

I haven;t been since 2011 and thinking of making a return and quite sad seeing that all the places we used to camp are now completely off limits

in fairness, being able to afford transcontiental flights, a Glastonbury ticket and glamping at the fest is out of reach of what, like 95, 96% of the world's population?
