Well, looking at that Metcheck Glasto forecast they can f**k RIGHT off. I don't use Metcheck anymore as it's f**ked me over so many times. Useless twunts.

One of my compadres tells me this morning that's he's invested considerable money in some good quality waterproof trousers and a jacket. Purely as a sacrificial offering to the Gods of Fate you understand. If we all prepare for a monsoon, they'll realise we respect them and leave us alone.

As an aside, it looks like the lovely weather we've had all week is going to change to thundery showers just in time for the RATM gig at Finsbury on Sunday. I'm more than prepared to get pissed wet through on Sunday as a further karmic offering. That way I'm sure that Glasto will remain dry and warm, (with a 90% chance of alcohol induced dehydration and sunstroke).

I am also preared for it to chuck it down right through my wedding day on the 19th june, if it can just see it's way to clearing up nicely for the 23rd - 27th.

Great forecasts above guys but just a little bit of humour from last years brief but powerful downpour

I called home and someone had been watching jonathon ross on the box (i know the shame) and he had a weatehr map up which showed almost unintrrupted sunshine except for a gurt black cloud over the glastonbury area.

What a larf hey, you couldnt make it up

I'm attending 3 weddings in the space of 5 weeks later in the year. Now I havent told any of them yet, but I'm more than happy for it to be cold, raining, blowing a gale on all three of those days, in exchange for 5 long, hot, dry, sunny days at Glastonbury.

(Already had my wedding day this year, and it was sunny - sorry about that!)

Actually - it's my dad's birthday on June 19th (it's normally around the same sort of time every year, conveniently).

Speaking on behalf of my father, I too will except torrential rain on this day as long as it clears for Glasto.

My mate's coming. She is a renowned rain god(ess) - Rhodes in August, Egypt in Oct, Peru's Nazca Lines, the list goes on. So, seeing as it frequently p*sses it down at Glasto (I've not yet experienced one without at least heavy downpours), I am VERY confident that her presence will have the opposite effect and we'll have a scorchio fest to remember.

BRING IT ON :D

PS If I am wrong, who cares, it'll still be awesome and I'll be p*ssed on the pear cider ;)

Er hum! I AM the missus! Luckily the Mr is also of the same mind!

It's my mother i've got to convince - she's actually joining us at Glastonbury on the Friday and I have tried to explain to her how difficult she'll find it if it's muddy (she's 68) but she still says we've got to have a sunny wedding! i have to keep working on her!

    • Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.
    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
    • No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
    • Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
