Glasto Tent Check


Guest Grateful Ghoul

Recommended Posts

Last year I aired my old tent on the Sunday, realised it was knackered. Ordered a new one from Millets on the Monday with next day delivery, it turned up on Tuesday.

You'll be fine!

Finally put mine up this evening in our tiny shoebox flat. It looks ok, barring some gaffer tape marks after I foolishly used it to attach survival blankets last year.

We set ours up yesterday ... Still had the Glasto mud smell :-)

I've learnt to check the tent the hard way. In 2009 I bought a big two room six person tent for three of us from eBay. I thought it would be brilliant for the whole group (6 girls) because it had a living area in the middle so we could get out of the rain. Well, after trekking for four hours we finally found a spot to set up home. We started with my tent as it was the biggest, got everything out ... But shite, no poles!! I couldn't believe it! I was told by a few people to check the tent before so after nagging from the third person, I opened the bag, saw that it had never been taken out of the bag because it was perfectly folded, and zipped it back up again. I was so thankful millets have shops on site, and so were the girls sleeping in my tent! Although three of us squashed in a three man tent wasn't that cosey lol. Mistake, learnt from!

Nothing wrong at all being attached to a tent, I was the same with my big 8 man tent til it died at Glastonbury 09, and if my chair which has been to every festival I have ever been to ever dies I will be inconsolable lol

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
