Not really a tradition as this is my first time but the plan for me is to -

- Pitch up.

- Have a beer/cider and a joint

- Walk away from my friends for a couple of hours

- Find some cool people to have a beer with and maybe another joint

- Find my friends again

- Wait for the magic to happen :)

But then again, nothing ever goes to plan.

My second time this year but this year i am going with three newbies ( brother and nephew and friend), we are going to get there really early, find a pitch and then relax and charge ourselves up and go to the Pyramid for the footie. Them i plan to take them to the Brothers bat and with coder in hand take then up to the Stone circle to see the view.

Perfect day ( weather permitting!)

slide your fingernail beneath the aluminium ring pull of the frosty friend of your choice, and life, until you hear a sharp but satisfying hiss.

Smile.

Find a camping spot.

Lay out tent, dump stuff on top.

A couple of cans of lager, and maybe a few glugs of vodka.

Tent up.

Let the missus make her little nest in the tent.

Chuck all my stuff in as messily as possible.

Go wandering.

Smile even more.

This thread for me has to be marked as 'the thread that got me most excited so far'!! Thanks

...after we get the car parked the tradition starts, we do not unload the car without first having a few cans and greeting the glasto goers!!

head loaded with gear and cross fingers for safe passage

We pitch tent

throw gear in and get suitably buzzed up

wander to nearest long drops for that real feeling that 'we are here'

Bask in glorious sunshine (need to add for fortunes sake!)

be happy....

oh cannot wait!! :D

Last year was my first year, but there're a couple of things which I think will stick. Shouting "YEAAAHHH! YEAHHHH! YEAHHH!" For a minute or two is one. Lighting a VERY satisfactory fag is another.

Once I've pitchced my tent (It's a popup thank god) I have another fag, open a beer and wander off in a direction.

when the tent is up, go find a stand pipe and fill up my water butt.

back to tent, tune in to the festival radio station on my radio, brew up. Chill, watch the world, slowly slip into festival mode while sippin a cuppa. ;)

Whan that is done, go for a slow wonder through the traders to the Cider bus.

    • I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer 
    • That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.
    • Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
    • Lifelong Carlisle United supporter here.🤦‍♂️ Good luck for the coming Season and see you in October!
