How has this clash even occured? Surely you've had your tickets for glasto booked for some time now which means that:

Either you didn't check your dates when booking the tickets, in which case it's your fault and you should do the right thing and go to the wedding.

Or your borther has organised a wedding at short notice and not deemed it important enough to check with you before booking the date. In which case it's his fault and you should come to glasto.

I don't see why you can't do both! Go to Glastonbury wednesday, thursday and then leave friday afternoon so you get to Sheffield in the evening. Then leave Saturday night to get back to the festival for Sunday morning ;) Or even just go to the festival for the first 3 days. You need to find a way as you'll regret it.

However, you still need to get to the wedding regardless.

Just go to Glasto, you'll have so much fun you'll forget there was even a wedding planned for the Saturday, and you can deal with the consequences when you get back...

After all, Swine Flu's gonna kill us all soon, so this may be the last Glasto EVER! ;)

f**k the wedding off. He is clearly a bellend for booking a wedding that clashes with glasto. I would go to the festival without hesitation and wouldnt have the slightest shred of doubt.

ust tell him you'll go to the next one. Divorce rates are going through the roof these days

As far as I'm concerned if you only give your guests 2 months notice then you're asking for trouble.

At the end of the day it's up to you but if you do decide to come to glasto you can easily justify your choice.

What would you want your brother to do if the roles were reversed?

I voted wedding thinking you said Sunday. Still, on the face of it you could turn up Wednesday have Thursday and Friday, leave after the Friday night headliner, be home for Saturday morning (it is in the morning?) Larger shandy at the reception and then 300 miles back to Pilton for Saturday night, Sunday day and leave late on Monday.

Let's be honest though, if you turn up for Glastonbury, chances are, you won't be leaving till Monday!

Have you spoken to your brother about it? I take it, from the fact he's organised the Wedding for that particular weekend he has little interest in festivals. Or! Did you book your tickets knowing he was getting married?

Edit-Please ignore the repetitive elements of this post. I think on further reflection you should Facebook him back 'sorry broth' I'm off to Glastonbury that weekend. I'd love to come but it's me and (insert girlfriends name)s 10 anniversary. I've had it planned for ages and' etc, etc. You could even add 'actually I was planning on popping the big question myself'

invitation to a wedding on facebook thats shocking!!!

You know you want to go to Glastonbury and 10 years is a big deal for you and your girlfriend. You say you only knew your brothers wedding was in the summer its pretty short notice he has given you to the actual date.

At the end of the day if you go to the wedding your not going to want to be there, and will be defalt have a shit time. Your brother will be able to tell you do not want to be there, so whats the point. Get them a really good wedding present and get yourself of to Glastonbury

      Primavera Sound 2026

      Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.

      f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.

      Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December).

      After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
