To true.

sorry your not going. Weather shmether. It will not be that bad. No- it isn't going to be a wall to wall speedo fest but after last years arrest I was hoping this year would be a little cooler. I tried to tell him it was only a potato. It wasn't until I sat down that i realised I'd put it in the back! Poor Potato wasn't even wearing a jacket.

The BBC forecast is definitely looking better than it was this morning. No doubt it will change several more times over the next couple of days but it isn't going to be a wash-out. The weather last year was a one-off. Seriously, how often is it in this country you go for five whole days with absolutely no rain? Especially down here in the West Country! 2007 was awful with rain from start to finish, but I still went back so it couldn't have been that bad! This year's weather is going to be nowhere near as bad as it was then, as things stand at the moment. One, possibly two days with some light rain, rather than five days of persistent heavy rain...

Thanks Ploppy ;-) I've seen some pics from the site from Saturday, and there is some mud about, but we all know it dries quick if it isn't churned up by feet. So by Wednesday it'll be a lot better. The site handles showers well these days, and there is very little chance of anything heavy and persistent. So you'll all have a blast. I'll be back in 2013, and I confidently predict that will be another scorcher. :)

Don't forget folks - you've got a ticket to the best party on the planet. A few showers can't spoil that. B)

At least if the sun isn't blazing into our tent at 4am we may be able to get a bit of shut eye.

Never worn wellies at Glasto. Had 3 years of sunshine in our 3 trips there in the early nineties. So rain will be a novelty. Not that it will rain, of course.

We're coming to the party and will have a ball.

to be honest, as long as it isn't pissing down and blowing a gale by 10am on weds when i hope to be setting up the 5 tents i gotta erect, then the weather can do what the hell it likes after that!!

I'll be at glasto, beer in hand taking it all in for another year!!! :D

Although, friday all day in the sun at 20degrees (according to bbc earlier) will be bloody great!

Must say, I am worried about rain and things as I was at Leeds in 2008 I think when it was pretty horrific it wasn't very nice that's for sure. To me I get the impression its going to be very average, nothing really hot but nothing really wet either. Im hoping nothing gets too messy on site but as I've never been before so it's hard for me to say, but we can only wait n see!

I want to love these people, but what a bunch of tw*ts they turned out to be. Are these the sort of cu*ts I~ want to be hanging out with? It will be OK, deep breaths, deep breaths. Anybody claiming to represent Glastonbury on-line is in no way representative of Glastonbury.

    • When are  the stage splits ??  
    • 13th Primavera (Thursday was definitely making me feel like this was the cursed year).  Blood Orange was such a party by the end of their set but we all knew that rain storm was approaching.  So gutted Massive Attack didn't play after the false hope of a new rescheduling, especially knowing that Elizabeth Fraser & Horace Andy were backstage with them!  Managed a bit of Melt Banana but was just so over the weather by that point.   Friday was awesome, Rilo Kiley were so much fun.  Never been the biggest Cure fan but made the effort for them after Thursday & Robert Smith sounds like he did back in the 80s.  PinkPantheress & Viagra Boys were also great.   The highlight for me was Sudan Archives on the Saturday, she was stunning & with the Olivia Rodrigo surprise set too it made up for the Thursday sh*t show.  Dijon & Knocked Loose also superb.   Shoutout to Cardiacs on the Tuesday too, they were so LOUD, played a storming set.    
    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
    • watching clips of the cure in Barcelona, wow 2 hours 25 minute set. That's gonna be tough on the Sunday but can't bloody wait for it
