As soon as the tents are up in our group, we have our little ritual, out come the shot glasses and the vodka and we toast the tent and offer a drink to the people camped next to us.

After that, yeah, probably a stroll up to the Park, I guess, then down through the site towards the Jazzworld field, checking what stalls are back, which ones are new, that type of thing

Put our tents up with a beer, go grab firewood with another beer, help put other peoples tents up drinking another beer.

I'll be thirsty by that point, so might have a beer. Or a cider :)

We are arriving at around 6 to 7 am on Wednesday, and getting every last second from the festival. We'll pitch the tent, have a chill for an hour or so, go to lock ups to stash the cash, you can never be to careful ;) ,have a bit of a wander and then we plan a Wednesday pub crawl starting at the Cider bus at about 6pm. See you there!!

Empty the contents of my bag in the tent and have a smoke and cider with a great big Glasto smile on my face!! :-) After about an hour of revelling in that arriving feeling i will go for a bimble, still with aforementioned great big Glasto smile on my face! Can't wait, got tickets yesterday!! Although we both look really daft on our photo's, will bring extra id just in case!

lucky enough I am onsite the Tuesday afternoon so once the tent is up I will be on a wander to other crew areas where I know some people and we will see what we can get up to - there is claim there is three crew parties that night and we may even find more - who knows - its just a good day to relax and not worry about the shifts that will start on the Wednesday.

Bit different for me this year. I moved to the States just after last years Glastonbury. All my mates dont think im going this year so im going to surprise them. Once i get in i will just wander around the site for a few hours with a few beers and give all of my mates a chance to get into the festival. Knowing my luck though they will probably camp in a different area this year.

Im trying to think of ways to surprise them. Ive let my hair and beard grow longer hoping that they will not recognise me at first. Maybe i'll stumble into there camp and act smashed out of my face, then pass out right in front of them.

Usual ritual is tent up, blow up bed inflated sleeping bag unrolled, gear thrown in tent, chair unpacked, smoke and beer with huge smile

Got a myhab tent this year so no tent to put up, apart from that part same as usual

    • 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. 🙂
