Me and my group of 5 finally are paid up. Glasto #15 coming up. Just need to sort out childcare for the 3yr old. 😬

The group I found are via Facebook and are a lovely bunch. Apparently were banned from being mentioned on here so I don’t want to break any rules by linking. Camped in Oxlyers which was a new experience for me. Happy to share any info or answer questions. Also back up with @Scrumpthat the Wednesday meetup was great fun and well worth attending finally.

Lauren Laverne just said she’s giving Emily Eavis a call later on in the show…

Dua Lipa on Pyramid confirmed? 🫣

Blur just announced for Coachella in April - did anyone see this happening?

11/12 of our local groups. One persons code was rejected as not being valid, no idea how that happened but hopefully can be sorted during the resale.

Saw Air headline the Other Stage on the Sunday in 2002, sadly was it was dull as dishwater (I remember some dude running around the stage wearing a cape.) Won't stop me seeing them again though if they returned.

Your flies are undone!

To be fair, thought the Gold circle was tiny compared to other large shows I've attended - barely noticeable from where we stood and we were pretty close.

Last night was genuinely one of the best gigs I’ve attended. Crowd and band were all on top form and Damon was really feeling the love. Tender with the choir was so powerful, a real goosebump moment. Brilliant set list and not a dull moment. If I didn’t have other life commitments, I’d be there again tonight. Those attending are in for a treat! Would love them to headline Glasto next year but I get the idea they may feel they had that moment now.

2 females, aged around 19/20 walk up to the campsite stewards on Sunday afternoon and asked where they can find the Pyramid stage. When the guy noted it was the pointy stage in the distance, one answered saying they thought ‘it was bigger than that’.

I do think this massively helped reduce any dangerous crushes this year. It also meant there was gaureented space to move to if in need of a sit down, without annoying people who wanted to watch an act in the main field.

One year (2002 if I recall) a friend of a friend took his beaten up old banger, which had doors that wouldn't lock. As a security measure, he removed the steering wheel and left it in his tent. Of course on the first night, his tent was broken in and all his weed, beer and said steering wheel was stolen. Think he ended up leaving the car there and getting a train home.

I'm pretty sure they will, they've been much more clued up on not littering or leaving items behind in their last few videos. Rob even had a poll up on his personal insta regarding where to pee (options were 'On the land' / 'Leave no trace') which marked as wrong if you chose the former. Also, when I was talking to Danny, Rob came back from the bar and said he'd just talked to the nicest barman ever. Was raving about how friendly everyone was. I'm pretty sure they've caught the Glasto bug and realise it's on a different level to what they've experienced before. Very much looking forward to the vlog!

Missed the group photo but managed to speak to a few lovely people including @Neil @Crazyfool01 @Scrump and @Steveb72 Will Definitely make sure I make this part of the yearly traditional in future.

I'm pretty sure they ended up going back to bed after each headliner, but I know they did tonnes during the day. I heard that Rob ended up blacking out at one point due to heat, drink and exhaustion.

Bumped into the guys befor CRJ near the Other stage on Thursday. Spoke to Danny for quite a bit and they were having a great time. Think the festival has definitely broken them a bit, pretty sure they're not used to anything on this scale. Looking forward to the vid, they reckon it'll be their longest yet at 2hrs.

I managed to stack it carry my gear in just aftert the rain on Wednesday. Not the best start to 5 days without the use of a shower. Was praying for rain shower just for a wash! Weather was a little too hot at times, especially without the shade but I still prefered it to rain and being cold. As someone mentioned above, never wore any of my long sleeved clothes or warm gear, which annoyingly were the heaviest items I carried in. Only the period waiting for Elton did I ever feel anything like being cold. 9/10 year for me weather wise.

1. Elton John 2. Foos 3. The Last Dinner Party Special mentions to The Hu, Hives, Lizzo, Nova Twins, GnR

That's very true. It's very rare to have an act play a main stage who have yet to release anything more than 1 track. Very much live up to the hype though, great things to come from TLDP!

Gutted that it seems that The Last Dinner Party was t recorded for the iPlayer, my fave new discovery of the festival.

Drove straight out of Pink at 6am but no idea what it’s like now. Does seem that more people stayed overnight for the Sunday than usual, there was noticeably less empty campsite spaces on the walk to the car this morning.
