Team Orange is growing though, there are lots of people who have joined over the year's that are still coming and we have 10 more new recruits. We buy all our booze before we go and stick it down our oants, up tops etc... yes we did get caught last year which added to the fun as we had to drink 4 litres of wine at the gates Yaaaaay!!! I always nip back to the tne in the day for a drinkie poo's as well, not far too walk,

So stop bloody moaning, if you don't like V, don't fookin Go and stop at home and watch the highlights on TV.

I personally don't like Leeds but have never been on the forum to say that, Opinions are like arse holes everyone has one and some people act like them.

This was my first experience of a festival and generally I wasn't too impressed.

Overall I enjoyed the music, got to see a tonne of people but more than anything the most disturbing aspect of the whole festival was how vile some of the people attending it were. Sh*tting in the showers? Leaving god knows what in the toilets? Pissing anywhere that took there fancy, including in crowds of people? Is this what all festivals are like?!?!

I can't actually count the amount of times I had drinks thrown over me, or had someone trying to molest me in the crowd. After the first day I stopped going near the front so I could prevent both of these things.

As for the food, it was pretty bad. I understand the cost of the pitches and the increased prices as a result but the quality was severely below par - i didnt eat much because it was all pretty foul - thank god for my jammy dodgers.

I found it surprisingly easy to get alcohol into the arena, i think I was only checked once. We stayed in blue, it wasn't terrible and the people around us were lovely.

I know it sounds like I had a crap time but I did enjoy most of the experience because of seeing the bands I liked etc I just think that certain aspects of the weekend could have been improved. There weren't enough toilets for example - well why not?

I don' think I will go back next year - I've experience it now and if I had to go through the festival exp again I would def go to another one with a better line up to make it worthwhile. There just seemed to be something lacking with V, and I'm still not sure what it is

    • People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing.
    • To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘
    • I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either   
    • Selfish, but I've done the 2 days I'm there.. i'll try to do the rest through the day but might get beaten to it as it's editable....    https://clashfinder.com/s/ape2026/
    • I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
