Well the deed is done,i have just got of phone with Seetickets getting a ticket refund for myself and two others. I have had many good Glastonbury festivals in the past and a few bad ones, but i think at 65 its time to call it a day. two others in our group have had a change of plan and won't be able to go, so its down to the remaining two now. Best of luck to all trying in the resale on Sunday. Thanks for the goodtimes Glastonbury : )

Glastonbury next year...I think not,my love affair with Glastonbury is over now. Its been good to me most of the time,but all good things come to an end,

and reaching 65 the week before I no longer have any enthusiasm. I did think buying a ticket would help. Unfortunately the line up did not help,its OK but not very inspiring. So rather than wasting £450 / 500 including spends I asked for a refund and hope my ticket goes to someone who will enjoy it. Best of luck to all on Sundays ticket sale :-)

This would have been my sixth, not many I know,I was never really interested until I moved down to Somerset some fourteen years back and went on a local Sunday ticket,after that I was hooked,and tried every year for full tickets, some years it was successful, others not. I only ever did it for the music,had no interest in the weird stuff, best ever do me was the Neil Young year,worst was 2011 when I was really ill,hardly saw anyone,had to go home on the Friday night,mind you it was a very muddy year. I hope your gran gets my ticket. I will miss it I know,not giving up on festivals though,thinking of doing Beautiful Days, its only 20 mins from my house,much smaller,less push and shove,and I could travel daily.

For me it was the best and worst time ever, best because it was a dream to go, see bands which I have never seen live, do something without my hubby/kids, but the mud was awful, rain killed the mood, and I totally under estimated how physical it was carrying all my gear with that walking in the mud and how tired I would be. I hope it was a "bad" year and that I will enjoy a better one,I hope you do too :)

That's a hard decision Denwyn but only you know really how the festival affects you. Will you do something else that weekend, or stay glued to the Telly? Hope you enjoy your weekend whatever you choose to do

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
