  1. I'd get them if I was you. Haven't seen them on this tour. Saw them support Biffy, superb! Do think they'll be somewhere on the bill though!
  2. I feel like this should be in the controversial thread... not sure if it's happened at Glastonbury but a few times a can of Hooch has brought me back into the game. In fact, a few eFesters have actually seen the healing power of the lemon nectar on me..!!
  3. Snap! Fatboy Slim is still an option for the Friday, and whatever the Park may hold. Sunday I could be swayed depending on what else is announced. Saturday is a certainty.
  4. His granddaughter is okay, he did check in on here a few days ago. 👍
  5. Kidzfield tomorrow, and The Common on Friday (6th).
  6. The Common is coming Thursday isn't it... I wonder if that's all we will get this week due to being spoilt by 3 last week! 😂 If anything else comes this week, I'd bet the Kidzfield.
  7. Yes, it just usually costs a little bit more - think it was an additional £5 last time.
  8. But compost toilets are the best... especially early in the morning!
  9. But at least you're making it back to your tent... 😜
  10. Daft Punk 78 (-1) Elton John 70 Kate Bush 40 (-9)
  11. I feel like Common People is permanently playing.
  12. Sorry to hear that, hope everything is okay!
  13. Cheers @Matt42 I'd much rather she headline the Park. 😂
  14. What's the predictions for the Friday headliners other than Pyramid and the Other? Didn't someone say Little Simz is Saturday?
  15. Do you think any 'bigger' acts have been held back? In my predictions, there are a couple of headliners up in the air still.
  16. Daft Punk 69 (-5) Elton John 99 (+2) Kate Bush 76 (-3)
  17. I don't know if I cried but I was certainly emotional... Saturday, Glastonbury 2017, as Everlong came to it's crescendo on the Pyramid. I didn't know if I was going to make Glastonbury that year. I hadn't been able to go a few years previous as I'd had to have major surgery. So from October 2016, it all became about making it to Worthy Farm in June 2017. Everything seemed to be falling in place - I had been working in my new job for a couple of years, I had a beautiful 18 month old daughter and life just seemed good. My wife and I, found out she was pregnant with our second child in February 2017 and the future seemed bright. I won't go into the exact details but at the 20 week scan, we were told things weren't quite as they should be. We were taken into a side room, and essentially told to terminate the pregnancy due to development issues with the baby. We were told the baby would be unlikely to make it to birth and if she (we found out the gender) did she may be in an incapacitated 'vegative' state. We believed in giving life a chance, so decided to see how life played out. This meant have regular weekly scans at the hospital and trying to press on as 'normal'. It got to June, and I didn't particularly want to go to Glastonbury. Not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't want to leave my wife. To her credit, she insisted I should go. At the scan the week before Glastonbury, we got the first sign of movement - my unborn daughter was clenching and unclenching her hands. This was a huge thing - it showed there was some communication between her brain and limbs. It was decided I would go to Glastonbury, but take it easy, as we didn't know what was around the corner and what the future would bring. So cut to Worthy Farm, the whole weekend was like a dream, full of strangers who became temporary friends and an aura of magic. Saturday was all about the Foo Fighters for me, a when those words hit: "If everything could ever be this real forever, if anything could be this good again..." It just hit. I can't remember if I cried, I just remember the wave of emotion. Who knew what my future held, but for that moment, lost in the music there was joy and optimism. Anyway, what a festival. For those who don't know, my second daughter was born premature that summer. She spent a few weeks in intensive care, and then the first two months of her life in a hospice as they thought she would pass away each day. Things improved slowly but days are not without challenge. Right now? She is four, just started a specialist school and is currently threatening to eat my nose whilst sat on my knee. She is the strongest person I know, and an inspiration for those that know her. And me... I always think back to that moment in 2017, and thankfully, I'll be back in those fields in June! Take care all, and sorry - I don't know where the long post came from!
  18. Sainsbury's sell them in store (I haven't looked online).
  19. You must simply radiate festival knowledge! 👍
  20. Enjoy... and pictures please 😉
