I spend a lot of my late night time in the greenfields...the Smallworld and Tadpole stages in particular are a nice antidote to most of the rest of the festival

Free hover boots in the mud years (well maybe a depopsit based system)

A "not as good as it used to be tent". Folks could go and have a little moan, and then after they can enjoy themselves.

No ugly people policy.

I didn't spend much time in front of the Pyramid so may missed them but on the few occasions I was there I didn't see any consciousness raising films about the activities of Oxfam or Wateraid etc between acts. I'd like to see more promoting of the causes.

On the portaloos that flush - which are mainly on outlying campsites, could there be a really clear sign somewhere around head height to advise people that they do flush and remind them to do so? I swear that there are many people that seriously don't realise that you are supposed to flush them!

This may be because of the longdrops and the turdises like by The Other stage that you don't flush, but people really need to learn the difference. Once 2-3 people have failed to flush, everyone behind them will assume it won't flush and then all is lost, it is just a matter of time till they are a disgusting overflowing mess.

Guns on site. Randomly, or a deposit scheme. Would raise the stakes.

Naked beach.

One way system to be a big trick to syphon off all the wallys.

Bangface arena - I agree with that bloke (though Bez is doing a good job).

A big tower. Bigger than the one in the park. More like Blackpool tower.

I'm a bit pissed (can u tell?)

Some cows (like in India).

Dance village - take a little look at what's happening in the opposite corner and learn a few lessons about atmosphere, drama and spectacle.

Not sure what's the ratio like but being at the main stages I saw a lot more cans being effortlessly dropped to the ground than paper cups.

    • 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!
    • I left and went home, saw the Massive Attack update when I got in the door. Typical 💀 
    • They have posted twice in 4 hours with almost no info
