Even the Met Office are unable to get the weather right a lot of the time, so no-one else stands a chance! Whatever the forecast says takes clothes/footwear for all eventualities and you'll be fine. Seriously, if the forecast says it is going to rain for five days solid are people not going to bother going to the festival?

I think we all appreciate this, but obsessing over the weather is part of the fun! And for some people, the weather IS a massive issue - if it looks like there is a high likelihood of 2011 style mud then the chances are my husband won't come - due to mobility problems he would find it extremely difficult to get about, and wouldn't cope with being in wellies all weekend. We knew this when we got his ticket, but now the festival is so close we would both be devastated it he had to stay home!

All the model updates are really transient, and ever changing </usual legal caveat>

But I have semi-realistic! hopes, as of RIGHT NOW ONLY!! folks! that JACKONE will be able to post a better update tomorrow. Basing this on some models from the 6 pm (18z) run from both GFS and ECM, which do seem to favour, even confirm, the prospect of a High Pressure build from the SW next week.

Not at all! I've lived here for 2 years, been to my fair share of festivals and would much prefer there to be actual weather than just blistering heat for 3 days straight.

Although if (when) it is a warm one, it would be wonderful if Glasto could set up some misting tents. Those things are lovely. Anyway, I'll stop running before I can walk..

but you couldn't enjoy the weather in the american festivals, where they herd you into areas to drink (and you can't take your drinks outside the bar areas).

The grass is always greener.

i don't believe in the weather Gods - but this one is going to be dry and sunny.

6pm BBC forecast tonight: No rain around for my cycle in to work at 6am tomorrow morning.

10.30pm BBC forecasttonight: I'm going to be like a drowned rat for my cycle in to work at 6am tomorrow morning.

Yet I still have to follow this thread avidly all day every day....

      Primavera Sound 2026

      https://www.20minutos.es/cataluna/barcelona/primavera-sound-cierra-asistentes-preve-devolver-entradas_6980180_0.html Refunds will only be given to Thursday pass holders, which means only 15,000 people. And last year's attendance was higher than this year's.

      A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.

      Legend Slot candidates 2027

      By sheffinghell · Posted

      I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
