Kinda same reason we didn't bother, got a son aged 3 months so all abit hectic at the mo.. :D

That said, not bin back since 2007 so long overdue..

Don't watch the webcams, you know what it looks like and you know its not gonna help :lol::lol:

Flip - it was not one of the best - crap weather on Wednesday and Friday pm + 30000 too many tickets sold to make it comfortable to get around. Lots of people with prams were struggling with mud!

Not going this year wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected TBH despite being the first I've missed since the fence went up. Mind you, knowing that it was a tad wet 'n' muddy probably kinda helped a bit I think even tho I'm well aware that it doesn't ever prevent a bl**dy good time being had ! I didn't watch any of the TV coverage at all tho as I thought that almost certainly wouldn't help but did enjoy looking at all the piccies/comments posted on the official site as well as reading the shiny new paper and having my own action replay of Glasto 2010 on Saturday night :D

... wanders off to finally remove 2010 wristband and add it to Ye Olde Wristbande Collection as it's defo way more than a bit sad still having it on now !

    • 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!
