So with that latest run does anyone think, in the next couple of days, forecasters on the telly will be predicting a hot and dusty end to the month. I know they too get it wrong but strangely when they hint at stuff like this with a cheesy smirk on their face I tend to believe them more than anyone else. Well apart from devonhammer!

Don't trust me. Seriously, it brings me out in a cold sweat to post on NetWeather. Also, I'm an eternal optimist.

For the forecasters to predict good weather it would need a succession of good runs, as pointed out by WorthyRaver. Also, they're not going to predict much based on just GFS, which is not that reliable. When the ECM data starts to come in on Sunday, then we'll get a much better idea.

Glasto & forum newbie. However this thread is taking over my life. I must check it at least 10 times a day. I dream of Germans duelling with frogs.

If it is not sunny, I will probably need psychiatric admission after all this stress!

TWO have had consistent sun forecast from Glasto Tuesday onwards for the last few days now. And what with that latest run/chart thing the hammer posted up I reckon things are looking on the up. :)

On a different subject Devonhammer, is the theme to Monkey the greatest TV theme ever or not?

    • This is a perfect storm of World Cup / Recession / Rising Costs / Ridiculous Prices / Awul crop of 2026 touring artists and the prices are tanking across the board.   I've been able to acquire 3 different golden circle tickets to stadium shows happening over next fortnight for 50% FV on Twickets by making crazy offers.    I have never seen such a bad Festival headline lineup as 2026. I think the market will get worse before it gets better - but no way people are paying the prices that they start off with for some of these shows. 
    • on another note, 3 weeks too early to tell weather wise, apparently they are expecting a heat wave soon but that will have probably past by the time rw comes around. Grim england this week, doesn't really set the hope too well right now but we'll see.
    • I don't think that the insider has ever got much wrong so it does seem like we'll be getting another act, rw always seem to be pretty good listening to feedback, probably why retention is so high so I guess if they can fill that final slot they will, always looked a bit strange on the schedule 
    • There is a misconception that off-site camping is run by neighbouring land owners. The majority rent fields off the land owners (Camp Kerela, Pop Up, Ziggu etc), so yes a farmer may make a few quid more renting to a camping company but relationships with Michael et al mean most prefer to rent to the festival. None of the festival's off-site camping is on their own land; Worthy View, Sticklynch, Campervan East, B&W.    Holt Farm is Steanbow Farms land, so it is likely they would rent to the festival rather than a third party.
