Not one drop of rain at Glastonbury-who'd have thought it? The hottest Glastonbury I have been to by far. It did get unbearable at times especially around midday. Hung around in the shade during those times. It was so hot the suntan lotion I was wearing didn't seem to work...

Spent Wed -> Thurs constantly saying how lucky we were to be having this weather... then by Sat I started to struggle with it a bit, made it tricky to see some acts. Had to leave West Holts because the sun was right behind the stage. I definitely noticed that people's moods starting to get a bit prickly by the saturday. Over heard quote: "Fcking hell Sally, it's hot for everyone, deal with it". :D

There were definitely points in the weekend when i thought that the NRNC crew might have overdone it slightly!

I found mid afternoon hard work and saw less bands than I would've done even in a muddy year. However - by Saturday i realised that this was leaving me more energy for the night time and enjoyed the delights of Sjangri -La etcc to a much greater extent. I have come back feeling less wasted because I drank so much less alcohol than usual, and all in all - yes - I would take that every year.

I plastered factor 30 on in the morning and didn't burn and we all started to just give each other tent showers by pouring water over each other to get clean (so much grubbier than a muddy year!). It was really simple and refeshing and i don't know why we've never done it before - Oh I do - it's never been warm enough before!

I stopped drinking on Sunday and stuck to water - something that wouldn't have crossed my mind otherwise, and it definitely sorted me out.

Even so, I remember the sun going behind a cloud near the start of Seasick Steve and thinking "that is bliss", which is massively ironic when you think normally there'd be a massive cheer when the sun comes *out* from behind a cloud!

Can I just say a big thank-you to the whole NRNC crew. I don't know what it was that worked, but whatever it was, please do it again next year. To those who have this strange deviant view that it was somehow too hot, harden up, drink some water and get a fan next time B)

i think i saw less bands cos of the heat than i do in m*ddy years! :lol: not complaining though. the novelty of wearing flip-flops round the site and being able to sit anywhere were worth it. even if i was a sweaty melted mess incapable of speech mostly.

as soon as i heard england had drawn germany in the cup i had a wry old laugh to myself. there was only gonna be one result with all that german weather!

we do maybe need to rethink our nrnc cloud policy for next year though. :P

    • 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. 🙂
