This year will be my 7th Glasto and since 7 is considered to be a lucky number I think it will be especially memorable for all the right reasons :P

Number 3 coming up for me (and my 5yr old).

Slightly ashamed I wasted so much of my festi career at Titp (or should that be 'i was wasted so much at titp'??) but i was young(er) and didn't know any better. It took several years of persistence from my wife to make it all better.

(this feels like therapy - i'm glad it's in the open now, I can start to get over it)

I was just thinking about this yesterday funnily enough. 7th one this year for me. I've been the last 4 years, but I also went in '97, '98 and '99 and had to dredge my memory for the following:

'97 was the year of the mud and the only band I remember seeing was Beck. I missed Radiohead because I couldn't face the trek through the quagmire to get to the pyramid.

'98 was muddy again. Don't remember many bands (even after looking at the line-up), but saw Tricky and a bit of Robbie before standing in the cinema field to watch England v Columbia. Couldn't light my funny cigarette in the torrential downpour :-(.

'99

REM on the Friday and Orbital in the Jazzworld field on Saturday were amazing. Also saw Dodgy at the new bands tent.

Don't do drugs kids! :P

Strange isn't it, but there really isn't anywhere other than home that feels more like it. I had this conversation with a mate the other day and it ended with 'so, if you go frist I'll take your ashes down there and if I go you do the same for me.'

    • 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.
    • And all (or all but one) of the secret sets repeats though?
