I will find this magical 'cider bus' everyone keeps talking about.

I will go down the rabbit hole (if it is still there next year).

I will bring a chair this time (spent most of glasto 2007 standing up because of mud, except when in tent asleep. I was so envious of the chair people)

I will send messages to all of my friends who are not at glasto just to make them jealous.

I will pick a headliner to miss, and instead spend some quality time at Trash City (or its equivalent) at the sweet spot between it beginning to liven up at night, and it getting rammed full of post-pyramid crowds.

I will make everyone in my group fried egg sarnies for breakfast every morning

I will try to not be precious about the ice in the Icebox

I will take a brolly but only if it's sunny

I will play Millie Riperton's Loving You between dawn and 8am each morning

I will go to the Park more often

I will go to the Dance Village at some point

I will not moan about 'Twats in Tweed Hats' or 'HOW BLOODY HOT IT IS' or 'HOW BLOODY CROWDED IT IS'

I will not bang on about 'When I cam here in the 80s/90s' or Stonehenge

I will drink before 10am each morning

I will watch more comedy this year

I will dress up

I will leave no trace

    • Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.
    • Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
