Just had a call from daughter on site. The mud was *BAD* at the gates and around the Main Market areas yesterday. But no real problems where she is camping in Pennards. She also says that what mud there is is drying out fast. But being a typical teen she hasn't ventured far from her tent on Pennards today so this report is strictly local to that area of the site.

For anyone looking at this thread from the site.

Lots of rain tomorrow night so make sure that you waterproof up tomorrow eve when leaving your tent to hit the stages.

Lush on Saturday & Sunday. :D

It's going to be a wellie weekend for sure, but wear sun cream as well!

Friday nite was grim, I nearly slept in the pussy parlure as I couldn't face trekking home in the lashing rain! BUT overall the weather wasn't that bad, and we were blessed with a seriously glorious Sunday with insanely warm temperatures right thru the night, I was sat on flagtopia in a t shirt at sunrise which seemed very strange but totally made up for the mud

A real mixed bag this year.

To me it felt like each day encapsulated the conditions of a previous festival:

Wednesday - HEAVY shower at annoying moment = 2005

Thursday - Rain early but generally quite decent = 2008

Friday - Will it ever stop pissing it down? = 2007

Saturday - Thank God it's stopped pissing it down = 2009

Sunday - Scorchio = 2010 (and then some!)

Don't give the forecasters too hard of a time for failing to call it. I'm just pleased the "severe weather warning" (can't remember which day but it was for 12 hours of heavy rain) that out campsite stewards were warning us about never came to pass!

A comedian at the Cabaret tent summed it up well

'to all you newbies you have experianced every extreme weather condition Glastonbury could throw at you within 3 days'

Friday - Pneumonia

Saturday - Trench Foot

Sunday - Heat Stroke

This year proves what a complete waste of time analysing, debating and trying to predict what the weather will be. BBC had white cloud forecast on Friday morning! NME confirmed a 'rain free Glasto' on Wednesday. You will never accurately predict the weather, best thing to do is forget about it and get on with it.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
