Top Five Glasto Tips - things you always do/take

Before you pack line your rucksack with a strong bin liner, then pack all your clothes and seal the bin liner before closing the top of the rucksack. We all know it isn't going to rain no way jose but there is just a micro chance that we are all wrong. Nothing worse than unpacking and finding all your clothes are soaked!

My tips would be,

1. Instead of decanting spirits into plastic bottles get the Capri Sun with the lids on and pour your spirits into them, 2 for each day should do. They take up less space in your bag and can fit into pockets. You could also freeze them and when they start to melt you will have a nice cool drink. Also a shot glass is similar to a pub measure if you want to pace yourself drink wise. And a hard plastic picnic glass is also very handy.

2. If its a really wet year put sandwich bags over your socks before you put your boots on, so if your boots do happen to let water in your feet are still dry.

3. Clip on battery fan, we all know its going to be a scorcher so this will help keep your tent cool at night, of you could even clip it onto the brim of you hat. http://www.iosss.com/shopping/review.asp?prod=2631

4. Evian face spritz, you can buy it in Boots for a few pounds, keeps you refreshed if you are in a big crowd or there is no water around to splash your face.

5. Gloves, if the weather is cold/raining your hands get freezing holding onto your drink.

I actually DID forget our tent going to Electric Picnic a few years ago. Was half way to the festival when I realised. My missus was NOT impressed.

A word to the wise, don't go to a wedding in Ibiza the monday before a festival and stay out all night/the next day on a bender.

    • Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they're advised not to do the fire/fireworks this year, I live in Crickhowell and we've had maybe 10 minutes of rain in total in the past couple of months, there've been a couple of big fires in the area (one peat fire above Blaenavon will be burning underground for quite some time yet) and all eyes will be on GM. Fingers crossed we get a good soaking next week 😁
    • Around £400 this time, possibly slightly over.   Think what you've said sounds about right
    • Glastonbury 2025 general admission tickets cost £378.50 (including 5 booking fee ) plus £10.25 postage . what are the thoughts on next years price ? ...... im going for £395 plus postage so they can say its still under £400 ..... but I think the deposit will be £100 up from £75             
    • 100% doing Knebworth, said it for a while.   Celtic, Etihad, Knebworth been signed & sealed for a number of months (I had it confirmed categorically in May). Just a case of when the dates fall, and how many.   Can't remember if I mentioned at the time, though probably not a major secret given that they were seen leaving Abbey Road on the same day - Liam/Squire album two in 2028.    Dunno where that leaves Oasis beyond 2027, though Andy is active with Ride in early 2027, so maybe it will just run alongside Oasis like that, if they carry on.
