I think you may have got confused in your Glastonbury excitement. There is the Brothers Bar and the Cider bus and never the twain shall meet. Unfortunately there is no Brothers bus... unless of course I am bery much mistaken?

Hehe much the same as everyone else; arrive wed afternoon..set up tent...sit down and have a cider (though to be honest there are usually a cider before we start as a reward lugging all that stuff from the car)...throw my junk in the tent and disappear off for adventures!!

Isn't kissing the ground a bit of a health hazard after the cows have been strolling round for the past 12 months!?

Anyway.. tradition -

Tent, Gazebo, BBQ, Tin...

Then off to take a big walk around the site. 2 years ago (while it was still dry) we found a football, which we kicked between us all the way round.

Last year we found the rave machine in the stone circle, then I talked to a man from WaterAid dressed as a poo.

This year I want to buy a hat.

Generally an earlyish night on the Wednesday - falling to sleep listening to the footsteps on the metal walkways...

I love waking up to all the new tents that have arrived next to us in the night!

Tradition in our group: Park the car, then with smiling faces pop open the cheap bottle of champagne that was chilling in the fridge just before we left home. All get a glass full, bottoms up, then rush off to get a good spot to pitch the tents.

Oh how I can't wait for Wednesday....

Stretch out on my airbed to get my breath back after fixing camp.

Put on the kettle for a cup of real ground coffee.

Then a traditional glass of bubbly and strawberries for everyone.

Say hello to the neighbours.

After that it's time to hit town.

    • 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). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • 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. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
