Would someone please be able to give me some reassurance regarding his safety?

To my dismay I have today learned of my sons plans to attend the Glastonbury Festival next month.

Obviously I am extremely concerned about this - Patrick is only 27 years old and has never left Switzerland before. From what I understand this festival is attended by drunks, pickpockets and even people from the country of Wales.

Would someone please be able to give me some reassurance regarding his safety?

With thanks and good day to you all.

Unfortunately I am having issues comprehending many of these postings which has only heightened my anxiety.

Does anyone know how many of these people from the country of Wales will be attending and how does one become aware when such a person is approaching?

Good day to you all.

This is a total hoax by the way. There is absolutely no way that anyone from Geneva would spell it Geneve. It should be Genève. French language keyboards have the accentuated è on it, and no-one from Switzerland would spell it like this bloke.

Fake!

Get at least one of these kinda threads every year :P although it's usually someone mega worried about all the druggies and over-sexed hippies rather than the (in)famous residents of a certain Country immediately to the West of the River Severn. Just avoid wearing a sheepskin jacket or furry boots and perhaps put on a Scottish or Scandinavian accent or something to avoid the problem of appearing to be a non street-wise resident of a land-locked European Country and I'm sure he'll be fine. Otherwise, it's just gonna be a case of lie back and think of England Switzerland I'm afraid as you're repeated mounted ninja stylee. You'll never know where or when an attack may happen but you'll defo know all about it when it does :P

sheep.gif:lol:

Oh yeah, cuckoo clocks are apparently an aphrodisiac so best be leaving it at home, and be *very* careful with the yodelling as well, it's often misheard as a mating call :P

This has to be a joke right.. he's 27!? :lol:

If it isn't then don't worry... in my experience everyone is amazingly friendly.. although whenever :D 100,000+ people get together in a field there will always be a few bad apples, but you have to be pretty unlucky to run into them...

He will have the time of his life! :)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
