So I've been lurking for a while but tonight I've drunk enough wine to convince myself to register.

This will be my first Glastonbury. I've been going to various festivals since I was 17, I'm now 43.

I'm obsessed with it. I read EVERYTHING I can find about it. I talk to everyone I know about it. I drop it into conversations whenever the opportunity arises. Random people I work with have suddenly started talking to me about it.

All in all. I'm a little bit excited. More than is sensible for a man of my age.

Everyone in my work knows I'm counting down to it. Shame they don't know any acts playing, i wanted to go mental I was so excited when gorillaz got announced but they are clueless.

I'm really lucky in that all my friends are quite used to me rattling on about "whether they will have sorted the access to shangri-la this year" or "Gahhh....this clash is doing my nut in" or "in <insert number of days> time I'll be <insert band, field or substance>"

At work a few people usually go who can't this year, so they are very understanding and happy to join in :)

I do tend to give a disclaimer on facebook to all my friends at the beginning of the year that I will go on about Glastonbury Festival and it will get worse the closer to the end of June. There is no escape! and I am vowed to encourage everyone to go to Glastonbury at least once in their life. Its an experience not to be missed :wub:

Heh, I only encourage those people who I think would add to the experience. My old boss (who thought that victimisation and harrassment was a management technique) was always announcing she wanted to "do glastonbury", much like she wanted to "do travelling", none of which she would ever do because she was all about something very, very different.

To be fair this is why I end up on forums like this because people who havn't been to Glasto just don't get it and have no interest in it. They can't understand why I get so excited about camping in a field full of loads of other people and lots of mud but for me it's like going home. All the people on this forum are so excited and I love it especially the closer it gets, can't believe it's less than 4 weeks to go and i've got a week in Turkey between now and then and couldn't care less about! Bring on the warm beer, insane conversations, late night dancing and the tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunes!!!!

I'm driving my workmates and patients mad, and I fear I am even starting to piss off those people who I am going to Glastonbury with!! My whole life is currently measured in 'sleepies til Glasto' :lol:

This year I am not so bad because I have my wedding just before it which is taking up a fair bit of thought and conversation - although I do keep getting mild panic attacks that whilst I've been wasting time planning for the wedding, I've forgotten something really important I need for Glastonbury!

Even so - even my husband to be - who also wouldn't dream of our annual holiday (or honeymoon) being anywhere else - is starting to give me a look that says - "If you mention that "Plan B V Florence" dilemma one more time it's all OFF!"

I'm meeting up with the bunch i'm going with this year at my local in an hour, an evening of drunken Glastobation is on the cards... it could get messy :D

trying to get through my final exams at uni has been a nightmare. Every 10 minutes I convince myself I deserve a break from revision and end up spending far more time than i should either on here, debating where to camp (i'm going with some housemates) etc. Recently i decided i needed an opinion on whether i was happy or not with Gorillaz and so have been trawling through as many live videos of them as i can find on youtube. Still not sure.

My flatmate who came last year had to cancel his ticket because of exams, so I'm trying not to mention it at home in sympathy. Every time I see the mates I'm going with though we discuss the same Glasto-related things we've already been over a million times :P

    • Saw David Gray 8 times between 2000 and 2025 (including one solo acoustic performance in Wexford, IE, 2017) and he always delivered. I enjoyed every show, never felt bland or let down an iota. To each their own. Yeah, it’s just that he’s not your cup of tea I’m afraid.   Agree that David is a bad dancer though lol.
    • Its massively bonkers the cost now amd it means missing out on some gigs but buying into only promotes it. Im more annoyed at gigs that are cheap that I have to resist as I'm far too tired after work.
    • Yeah I mean first time seeing them sure, I was the same in 2010. Their arena tour got a bit boring, it was like just get on with it. Feeder being in a tent was silly really, there is a difference between being around 4th down on main stage snd then moving that crowd into a tent.

    • I think they'll be playing in a suspended platform, you can see it in their instagram, they've done that before in Lisbon   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZKSRZ1qIDe/   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP6J4KIjMAG/
