2008 was my year for festival romance, that turned into a 6 month relationship, and some good loving.

2009 was less successful in that department, the closest I got was being leapt upon near the sacred space by a guy dressed as Howard Moon from The Mighty Boosh, with words that will remain with me for some time: "Soapy Titw*nk Sir?" - in a tone of voice that suggested he was just selling elbow patches. I think I set a new land speed record out of there.

Incidentally, is there a good place for tracking down the "I met you in a crowd when I was a bit wasted, but couldn't remember your email address" type of people? There were some lovely ladies, and some other very cool people that fall into that category, but I tend to meet most of them when "in cider"...

It was defiantely an interesting weekend for me and hoping to meet up with a couple of people I met. One in particular was working in the festival and we couldn't get a pen for love nor money for her to take my number and my battery was dead. Still, willl see what happens. I remember there was a website a couple of years ago which seemed to help people find those "lost" at festivals.

Funniest (or scariest) moment, depending on how you look at it was about 4am on Monday morning. I'm finally having some fun with someone in my tent when we hear the "zip" noise.... followed by her ex storming in and kicking off. Needless to say it kinda killed the moment and the fun!

I just don't wanna be back now! ;)

We dont discuss it...just blame Shangri La and Trash for not being open for kinda putting a huge dampener on any proceedings both Gay or Single!

Conga-ing to Trash and then receiving a text that began our rumour mill corner of Glasto was fun though...didnt beleive a thing...why would we have done?

Heyho! I had fun bimbling the site with my friends...no romance needed!

I have a horrible, horrible story from the Monday morning, but luckily I was saved at the last minute by a female friend who slapped me across the face whilst using the words "f**king" and "minger".

I hate beer goggles ;)

I had an incredibly romantic, loving & loved up Glastonbury. You all know Rabid & I met on efests & now I've moved from one end of the country to another to live with him, but it was his first time at Glastonbury.

We both enjoyed ourselves more than we could have imagined relishing every second together. I found myself falling more & more in love with him with every new shared experience. (Especially in that thunderstorm...... :D )

I already know he's the one for me & that was confirmed when it turned out that he was as keen as I was to get to Tom Jones in time, rather than being late for him while we waited for the Wedding Ceremony in Greenpeace. So, we exchanged rings & then spent the afternoon dancing in frocks & boas, in the sunshine. Singing our hearts out. We toasted ourselves with Burrowhill's finest & had some very special fudge for our cake! (Thanks for the fizzy wine Lucy).

Love was most definately in the air for me ;)

I hear you on that one. Me and the misses really did fall in love with each other again. She was a bit worried that going on our own wouldn't be as good as going in a group but we had so much fun with just each other. It felt like we were teenagers again just getting to know each other. It was fantasic and we're both gutted to be back to our normal busy lives.

We had planned on trying for a baby this year anyway but we got so excited with each other that we decided when we were there to start trying when we get home. Fingers crossed we have success soon!!

    • 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. 🙂
