You've read my thoughts!! Just spent the best part of Sat night watching my hubby play football over here in OZ and was watching the full moon rise over the river behind the pitch thinking wouldn't it be bloody fantastic if we were able to see something like that in 4 weeks time when we are at Glasto - and whola there it will be.. getting the tingles just thinking about it all

Watched the Hunters Moon of 2008 rising over the Murray in the Riverland in October that year. Was bloody stunning especially the way it reflected off the river.

It will be lush but I am a bit sad as it means that the star gazing capabilities will be massively reduced and I was looking forward to a star geek sesh at the rumoured telescopes that are set in the Green Fields.

Hey ho. Full Moonlight plus Glastonbury...bloody marvellous.

I'm fairly sure Sunday that year was "Hand of God" day, although we didn't have mahoosive screens to watch and had to make do with radios on mediumwave (ask your parents/grandparents)

Sounds like a bad football-related omen to me :P

A full moon is an instance. An infinitesimally small amount of time not a day like most people think. Not a lot of people know that. Is this really the first full moon at the festival? Has anyone checked that?

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
