Yeah, a Q daily newspaper signing tent in the drag between the pyramid and other stages. Met three colours red there, rocket from the crypt, wannadies, etc. '97 and '98 iirc.

For me, bring back the greenfields as they were, the tipi field being the hidden little haven of chill out oddness, and all the small venue tents and parties over in green futures. Couldn't believe it in 2002 when i headed over there for the first night and found nothing going on.

You still find the same things at other festivals, but glasto's the poorer for losing that part of the festival. Or perhaps environmentalism's just gone mainstream these days.

Seriously though, I would like to bring back that feeling that I had at my first Glasto when I realised I was there and how bloody marvellous it was going to be!! :D

Yeah me too but not quite the same as the first time I stood and look down from my tent and thought: " I'm home" :D

Also bring back the outdoor cinema!! Bloody hospitality area, there was nothing better than late night bimble to see the goonies!! "hey you guys!!!!"

The 24hr KODAK Dance stage, loved that.

The small party tents in the greenfields that you just sit down have a smoke next to then realise that at the back there is a full on rave happening. Got a pic of us at about 7am monday morning in the year 2000 dancing with a lad dressed as a monkey from Doncaster, f**king maddness, never seen anything like this for ages.

    • Audrey Hobert getting a lot of traction lately and new single on Friday. Wonder if she could be round next summer.
    • 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
