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.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
