    There were people getting over the fence in pylon, no idea how but this was confirmed by campsite crew and some had their entire tents stolen too. 

     

    I was camping by the wall next to hospitality camping near the John peel stage and there was people removed from site because of suspected robberies and they didn't appear to have wrist bands. They said that a friend of theirs was working on site don't know if that bit was true but I suppose that could be a way in.

    I love this place and visit here every day, many times, particularly in the run up to the festival. However, when I read threads like this it makes me despair. 

    People can be so bloody judgemental and plainly think they’re better than others for no obvious reason. 

    It can definitely seem like that sometimes and has put me off posting in the past but I generally don't think it's done on purpose or with bad intentions it's more a case of misunderstanding what the other person is trying to say. Body language and tone of voice helps with people being more respectful which sadly is hard to come across in text.

    There's loads of companies that I personally don't like but that wouldn't determine my opinion of a festival if they were there (unless of course it was the only option).

    Yes that's why I said not all. Lots of people have sensory issues with food and/or lots of allergies that make it easier to stick to plain food particularly in crowded fields. I was referring to the percentage who stick to good old fish and chips or burgers and chips because they don't to quote my ex-colleague like foreign muck! 

    I knew what you meant. I was kind of confirming what you said.

    I have met plenty of people who say stuff like your ex colleague, including my nan, who say they don't like it but it comes down to more of a fear of the unknown.

    I used to work with someone who only ate fish and chips, toast with lemon curd and cornflakes but without milk. She did used to refer to anything else as foreign muck!! 

    I suspect that not all people who like plain food are Brexit but that there is probably a fairly high percentage of them who are. 

    Being autistic and working in the field I know many autistic people love their plain food and most I know definitely aren't brexity.

  5. I'm possibly seeing;

    Beans on toast

    Will Varley

    Squid

    Boy Azooga

    Lauran Hibberd

    All on the Greenpeace stage. Saw a few acts there in 2016 including Will Varley and really enjoyed the area and stage.

    I went with a few people that 2016 was their first ever Glastonbury experience. They hated it and will never be back. It's a shame. It was awful.

    I also vowed I can't do this shit anymore.... But here I am! And I can't wait!

    2016 was mine and my wife's 1st Glastonbury experience, though we had done plenty of other festivals but it was my dad's 1st ever festival.

    We all loved it and can't wait to go back no matter what the weather.

    My dad's been to one other festival since and that was Y Not and that year the festival got cancelled due to the ground/weather conditions. He's a curse.

    Big fan of Lauran Hibberd as well. Quirky Indie guitar Pop. 

    Playing BBC introducing and Greenpeace stage 

    Perfect for an afternoon slot. I think I've scheduled in to see her on her BBC introducing slot.

  8. I love the variety of acts people are planning to see for their headliners. Other years it's seemed like more or less everyone was going to be at the same headline shows but this time there's a nice mix.

    Mine is most likely to be

    Frank Turner

    The Killers

    The Cure

    But all of them could change depending on where I am beforehand or what the mood is like.

    Them and Sundara Karma. Doesn't make sense why they aren't playing JPT or Other. Especially with the likes circa waves and wombats getting slots. 

    I love seeing acts in smaller venues than what they would normally be in and it's a reason why I'm loving the lineup so much but some of the placings are strange.

  10. It's a nice surprise that they're on the line up but Sunflower bean booking seems a bit odd to me. Maybe it's my inflated opinion of them but surprised they're not doing another gig somewhere else over the weekend in a bigger venue.

    Adding this which someone put in the day and stage thread as it's also a (good) self confirm. Would presume JP.

    Oh that's good news. They are excellent! Think they have a Dog Die in Hot Cars vibe to them.

    The thing listed as Spike Sessions are little live sets in Spike early afternoon, could that be a possibility for her?

    Yeah that would make sense I suppose.

  13. Southampton based artist March, previously known as Kitty O'Neil said that she was playing in the Glade area. If you like Laura Marling then she should be your bag.

    Can't see her on any of the Glade posters so not sure where she's playing exactly.

  14. I find it sad that people feel the need for a woman only venue at Glastonbury and I don't feel it should be there but that's not because I think it's sexist or anything but because we live in a such a shit state of a country that even in a place like Glastonbury there's enough people that don't feel safe while trying to enjoy entertainment.

    We should have a festival without any segregation, no matter how small the venue is but if even 1 person needs a safe space then so be it and I am supportive of it.

    The problem is considering its in an area where people are at their most mashed and when people are mashed tends to be when they use that as an excuse to act out of order how are people that feel unsafe get the benefit from the venue? If I was worried about getting abused I don't think a wander down the south east corner in the early hours would be appealing and that makes the whole sad state of affairs so sad.

  15. For me Jonathan Pie is like an uncle or a family friend down who is down the pub all the time. Funny at times but also times when he says things that are just a bit embarrassing for him really but he's too oblivious to notice or knows he's saying it for laughs. 

    Can't really take his character seriously but if you're a fan great. If you're not then fine. He is a bit of a marmite character.
