    Crowdsurfing?

    A few during Skindred on the Thursday. These days so many people are holding up their phones instead of the old ways of enjoying a gig!

    young fathers

    Missed their Glasto set but they were superb opening for Depeche Mode a couple of weeks ago.
  4. Took us all day to get out of Campervans east, ready to go at 11am, didn't get out until gone 5. Marshalls said there was a number of broken down vehicles on the narrow lanes causing the tailbacks.
  5. Making myself a coffee at camp, looking on in amazement as one of my friends just gets in from their Friday night!

    Celebrities

    Martin from Homes Under The Hammer was omnipresent at Glasto. Felt like he was following me all weekend! 😅
  7. I had just 5 must-see acts which I saw. Other than that just went with the flow and had a great weekend for it. Its the random acts you stumble upon on the smaller stages that always make the festival for me.
  8. Rick Astley/Blossoms sing The Smiths. Knew nothing about it until too late. Looked and sounded amazing on iplayer!

    Glasto flu

    Just done a test and its covid, very annoying but thanks for flagging, as was under the impression it was just a cold.

    COVID

    I've also got covid, bollocks!

    Glasto flu

    Yep me too, exactly the same symptoms, started Sunday evening
  12. High-viz jacket and a step ladder. Job done.
  13. Mate, I once opted for Gay Dad over Joe Strummer. Do I win?
  14. Would love to see Tool, Rammstein or Slipknot headline The Other stage. Can't imagine that will ever happen though! Whenever metal bands are booked they always seem to go down well - have seen NIN, Deftones, Gojira, Metallica etc all knock it out the park there over the years.
  15. I saw them a couple of times on small festival stages in 2000ish and then again headlining Glasto in 2005, and they were always really good. They have a handful of excellent songs, for me most of the first 2 records, and Fix You gets me every time as it reminds me of a friend no longer with us. Since then their music hasn't really done it for me but I like that they put the graft in playing the toilet circuit pubs in the early days to now headlining stadiums. I'd go and see them again at Glasto if they didnt clash with anyone I liked more.
  16. I've not been able to listen to a single Ryan Adams song since all the allegations came out about him. Such a shame, his music is amazing, but he is clearly not a nice person.

    Sam Fender

    Yes definitely the pick of the support bands at Finsbury Park for me. Loads of energy, attitude and great songs. Well worth getting in early for at the Inhaler gig I'm sure, enjoy!

    Sam Fender

    Brilliant gig, what a talent he is. Really enjoyed 'Stone' on the 2nd stage as well.

    Sam Fender

    Just got to Finsbury pk and they are being shit hot on your bag being no bigger than A4 size. You have been warned!

    Sam Fender

    Yes I've done the same! A few acts on the bill I've not heard of so will be cool to see some new music before Sam, and better than sweltering in the office all afternoon.

    Neil Young 2023

    I opted for Ray Davies over Neil Young in 2009 (brutal clash!) so would love to see him return to the Pyramid.
  22. His versions of Wonderwall, Whatever and Half the World Away sounded like school end of year concerts played at twice the bpm. Still, really enjoyed the singalong on the day! And still 100000X better than Oasis in 2004...
  23. Get a high-vis jacket, ear-piece and some kind of lanyard and you can move wherever you like! 😉
  24. First year I went (98) there actually was a group of Scousers who had dug a small tunnel under the fence and were charging a tenner a pop to go through it!
