You know, it's all good fun and all. But wearing your lucky pants on match day has no effect on how your team does, and saying it might rain, or how you'd feel if it does, has no effect on what the weather is on the day (*).

I think most of us are joking when we say things like "don't jinx things by saying the r*** word, but sometimes I'm not sure.

Anyhow, it'll take a *lot* of rain to dampen my spirit. Having said that, I've been to at least three Glastos that had a *lot* of rain. Statistically, the chances of this being another are low.

(* alright, the Butterfly Effect, I know. No *predictable* or *significant* effect.)

Wales is a make it r**n bomb already. That's like science and that.

To anyone who thinks that wanting nothing but pure, glorious sunshine is because we are wimps, who can't stand a bit of moisture, it has nothing to do with that, it has everything to do with how your legs and back feel at midnight when you haven't been able to park your arse since breakfast.

To illustrate this point here is a picture of a squirrel on a teapot:

I have only ever seen squirrels when the weather is good. I suspect that when it is bad they stay in and watch telly. Technically German squirrels must be the ones to watch for.

We need the latest run (06z) to be the start of a trend of similar runs, if this does not happen then the 06z was the outlier. This time last year and indeed closer to the festival these runs switched between good and washout and only at the last minute did it go fantastic, so still time but we would like to see more runs like the last one very soon.

    • Muse new album out soon , European tour announcement for Nov and Dec, no Spanish date and north American tour starts in July and in North America for all of July and August. So primavera and Glastonbury 
    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city!
