Curious why?
Best friendliest place ever/best music ever is what people say about everywhere at glasto....? From the times I went just go to any gay club in your local town and it's basically that with a more interesting exterior and a honking queue
I'm sure that's the case, but you could argue that the Acoustic Stage is the same as my local folk club or the Other Stage is Indie Night at the O2...
I'll add it to the list. Along with climbing the Ribbon Tower, and we all know how well I've done on achieving that particular item on my to-do list!

This thread is making me regret never having been to NYC Downlow. It sounds incredible.

I didn't this year, but went in the past to see what it's all about. I have no issue with LGBT at all, my nephew is gay and so are two of my friends, the only issue I have with it is the behaviours that go on that would not be acceptable anywhere else. That's it in a nutshell really.
'Some of my best friends are black...'

I know, wrong choice of terminology, but you get the idea.
Accusing someone of being a rapist is extremely serious stuff. Very wrong choice of terminology, yes.

So you got raped on the way in then? If a woman gets a slap on the ass from a bloke in the crowd he is a rapist, but it's ok to tug on someone's cock without permission then try and take a video of it.....
Semantics, but those things are sexual assault by touching, not rape.

The darkroom sounds absolutely abhorrent. The kind of unintentionally homophobic homopandering that should be left to the last century, the idea behind it seems to be that a) gay people will fuck anyone, anwhere b ) gay people are incapable of finding a partner and taking them back to wherever there saying. Utterly ludicrous and should be banned, could you imagine if Glasto announced that they were placing booths up the side of the main stage for people to go and shag eachother in? The outrage that would ensue. What's the difference of it being in NYC Downlow.
You've obviously never been to a (straight) fetish club, because many of them have exactly that, and it's far from outrageous.

Better than fucking on the dancefloor, isn't it?
I was going to say 'it was probably a damn sight more comfortable as well' but by Sunday the grass was quite prickly, and the dust, the dust....... it would get *everywhere*...

Because there would be. A girl who was giving out the goods to blokes in a club in Ibiza made the news and was branded a dirty slag.
That's not outrage. That's one (tabloid) newspaper and its misogynistic view on life, isn't it?

Being asked to get your dick out for entry to the S.E corner, if true, is fucking ridiculous. And a dark room where people are fucking? What's that all about? If that existed in another area of the site and it was men fucking women there would be outrage and it wouldn't be allowed.
And before I get accused, no I'm not homophobic.
Why would there be 'outrage'? Would there be similar outrage if women were fucking women or women were fucking men?

Sadly we were selling it at The Glade Bar - by the cup or jug. A jug was £32 including the deposit, but one guy opted to ditch the jug when he was told about the deposit. He asked for pint cups instead and proceeded to pour most of it over the bar.
We also sold frozen Margueritas and Prosecco. It was a proper pain. When people came to the bar and said '3 ciders please' I literally wanted to hug them.
Yikes

I saw an old son flag at the top of the pyramid stage which made my smile ( assuming this was you old son)
Ah, I saw that all week and was dying to wander over and see if it was Guy, but I was too shy

Wasnt every tent a Pimms tent this year. Jugs of Pimns were on sale all over the shop.
Not any of the places I went. Clearly 15 years living in sniffing distance of the Chipping Norton Set hasn't given me the skills I need to sniff out posh fruity alcohol...

Fair enough, but I hope you are doing your bit to advance the cause
you catch my drift anyhow.
Put it this way, plenty of us round here were wearing non-blue rosettes on Election Day. And I did admire the guts of the Labour candidate who doorstepped me despite the fact that I had a fucking massive 'vote LibDem' poster on my window...

A few years ago, Sir Mick and Co headlined the pyramid stage. I encountered so many right wingers that year I thought that Chipping Nortan had decamped to Glastonbury (Did anyone else have this experience? Practically every other person I spoke to was of the right wing persuasion). Generally I don't mind hearing other peoples views, however much I disagree with them, but it reminded me that a diversity of culture at the festival is accompanied by a diversity of opinion.
Had I been deprived of entertainment from the arch-tory Rolling Stones that year, my festival might not have been as enjoyable (sic). This year we had a new addtion to the group who was a staunch Tory, and I ended spending quite a lot of time with her. So I welcome Tories to the festival, however much I resent their unpatriotic political views.
I live not far from Chipping Norton, in the Tory heartland of Britain. I can assure you that it had not decamped to Glastonbury. It wouldn't dream of it - far too common, dirty lavatories, no Pimm's tent etc. One goes to Cornbury with one's camping chair and sleeps in a yurt.

It did seem, more than ever, that politics was a binary 'Labour/Corbyn good / everyone else bad' attitude at the festival this year.
I understand why, but those of us with Green and/or Liberal leanings seem to have been shoved in the 'bad' box or worse (particularly in the case of the Green Party) rendered invisible, which given the environmentally-aware slant of the festival seems a missed opportunity to add some balance.

Emily Eavis is an anagram of 'Yes, I am evil'
Just saying...
Michael Eavis is an anagram of Achieve Malis, which is why I assume there are lots of African artists on the bill each year.
It's also an anagram of Claim Heavies. Perhaps he's secretly running a firm of debt-chasing bailiffs in his spare time?

Couldn't you post somewhere else as well? Such as the designated grime hate thread
Oh fuck off. I'm making a valid point that not every person likes the same music but that it's presence at Glastonbury is equally valid. Just like this post is equally valid in this thread.
-
I loathe grime music. I think it's crap.
I also loathe Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, the Kaiser Chiefs, Clean Bandit and Busted. I think they're crap.
Which I why I went to see something else. That's the beauty of festivals like Glastonbury.

They blocked off the cut-through between Avalon and West Holts! Seemingly to accommodate about 6 crew camping tents.
That was really irritating.
I missed the Greenpeace Farmers' Market too - although Lynda's Loaf was still there I missed the fruit and veg stall and the place selling ploughmans.

I hardly think conseunsual sex between two adults is seedy. Grow up.
And no, Glastonbury isn't just a 'music festival'. Far from it.
