A bit of rain, maybe on the friday doesn't hurt, as long as things have enough time to dry out so you can continue on with your festival.

Does anybody remember years gone by where they had to wet the paths because of all the dust been chucked up when it was too dry? I'm sure that was Glasto, may have been another fest tho...

Look everyone, it is obviously going to rain at some point, no one has a clue when but it will.

It probably won't be a mudbath but bring wellies and expect a least one shower.

The forecasts are pretty much the same as last year, and last year was fine for me.

There you go, no blind optimism or pessimism, just what's likely to happen.

The saving graces last year were these:

1) It rained the heaviest overnight so there weren't that many people tramping around to create a mudbath

2) It rained lightly on the Friday

3) When the sun finally came out it baked the ground quick fast so it was OK to sit on the ground within a few hours.

I was so lucky that 2003 was my first glasto so I know how great it can be in the sunshine, if my first had been 2007 (like a couple of my friends) I don't know how inclined I'd be to go back...

oh i just can't handle the stress!!

Local update - i'm in Bristol and it's currently VERY humid out there. Overcast with no immediate looking threat of rain, but the humidness worries me as it backs up the mention of thunderstorms.

Lovely and warm though :)

I have only been in 2005 & 2007 so mud is always on my mind.

One good weather memory in 2005 I had just arrived on the Friday morning, done all the walking camping stuff and collapsed with a beer and family on the green grass hill in front of Pyramid stage, sun was out, I think Elbow were playing (??) and I thought I was in heaven.

Would be great to find some soft dry green grass this year. Think I will.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
