The Camp Triangle Glowstick War 2009


Guest glasto_mongrel_2008

Recommended Posts

Due to the numbers now on the list (over 250!) I think the Glowstick War may take a little organisation this year. Maybe half the fun last year was that it was totally spontaneous, but with the numbers forecast for this year I think a tiny bit of organisation could make it intense. Anyone got any ideas? Maybe we could have two wars. One at the camp and one at a pre set location where everyone just turns up and starts chucking. Probably best when it's going/gone dark. Anyone not involved will just see a melee of colour spring out of nowhere. Should we have teams or just a free for all? Maybe you think it should remain as a totally spontaneous event. Do you have any suggestions for time/location? Your input would be very much appreciated :lol:

Lovely idea BUT...in this ere credit crunch AND lots of fundraising for WaterAid...would it not be a total waste of money to indulge in such a thing? I know that sounds extremely spoil sporty and I dont want to ruin anyone's fun but perhaps this year save your money or donate the glow stick cash to Wateraid. Longer lasting fuzzy feelings gained from doing so than an hours bloody good fun but at the end of it all just a big excuse to waste money you dont need to waste?

Meep :lol:

I tend to agree with this comment, I would have thought a glow stick could do some serious damage.

I was at Leeds years ago and some cocks thought it a good idea to throw empty plastic bottles at each other, except some had water (or piss) in, and what do ya know, a guy near me got his head split open, and I mean split open, 20 stitches at least I would guess.

It's not really the 'sticks,' it was more those bendy ones that you can join together and make wristbands/necklaces out of so the risk is fairly low.

Brilliant idea Glasto Mongrel. Yes to teams. Yes to spontaneous. Yes to any type of glow stick war.

And thanks 22m for the tip-off - We've had a brand new Poundland open in Lewisham so I'll go and check it out and buy me some ammunition.

Safety concerns noted. Plastic goggles are fairly cheap from hardware stores, so we could kit ourselves out with them and then we'd really look like we were ready for battle! Howabout those 3D glasses - would they make the glowstick wars look even more spectacular? And would they suitably protect our peepers?

Can we all make sure we pick up all the sticks afterwards so that we're not adding to the Glasto litter mountain?

I actually think this is a great idea and would love it to be arranged, can pick up stacks of cheap glow sticks from poundland so the sight of hundreds of glowing sticks being flung at mid night would be quite fun and entertaining. Count me in :lol:

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
