Ok, so if you had a magic flying carpet that could transport you back to Glastonbury for just ten precious minutes where would you be and what would you be doing?

I think I'd be stood in the crowd singing 'come on, come on, come on...' along with Blur, happy faces all around and my friends all looking like it was the best night of their lives

I would be in the John Peel enjoying Gaslight Anthem - just at the amazing moment when Mr Springsteen came on stage and I turned to my husband and screamed ITS BRUCE - and then was absolutely blown away with what I witnessed for the next 10 minutes - didn;t know whether to stand there with my hand over my mouth in awe, or jump around like tigger on a pogo stick !

I hardly had a voice the next day coz I'd shouted so loudly - an amazing amazing Glasto moment and I still get goosebumps thinking about it !

OR

Sitting on the floor of the vege cafe in the craft fields (?) on Thursday morning eating the most yummy vege breakie wearing amazing wings, my face painted looking out and feeling so so content and like I was meant to be there - if I could bottle that feeling and use just a little every day I would be a very content bunny !

Now that im sober Id go back and check out 10 mins of Kasabian or the Boss.............

was there in body but not in mind for Kasabian............too much Brothers!!

was sitting on a chair asleep surrounded by 90000 people at the Boss!!! :D (I blame the early Rolf Harris start beside the Brothers Bar!!)

But if I actually think about it, id go back to our campsite the time when some prick from North London came over and robbed a wallet with £300 quid in it..............I would use the 10 minutes to tie him up, gag him and strap him down nice and tight on the inside of a portoloo, which not even the drunkest of drunk would consider using!! Leave him stew there for a day or so............... :lol:

I'd be at the Stone Circle, watching the sun rise on Friday morning and listening to the bongos and djembi drums. A magical moment.

I'd then throw the magic carpet on the fire so it couldn't take me back to present day, sitting in an office typing up case-notes.

I'd be back here in the Healing Field with my beloved greenfairy. I could have spent the entire festival there.

Walking from the Queens head through to the jazz field on a barmy sunny day with cider in hand and ending up at the Avalon field to see the Mummers ,who finished with their song " this is Heaven", it was so apt, it left a lump in my throat, through happiness and sadness that this had been the best weekend of my life and that it was soon to end.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
