The best way to cope with the sheer scale is to plan like fuck. Map out the distances between stages - allow plenty of time - and plan the optimum musical itinerary based on the Clashfinder; you may need to make hard decisions. If, at any point, you are down to meh! bands for a bit, then eschew the stages and race round the Greenfields; get the feel of the hippy stuff, but quickly. Look through the food thread and plan your meals too - don't limit yourself, you wan the full Glasto experience.

I would recommend doing all this on mushrooms - again, getting into it wholeheartedly.

Bring a welcoming and accepting attitude, you'll fit right in :)

This thread has lit my excitement torch for the year. I am now finally accepting that we'll all be back there in just a few weeks, a little merry and all the better for it.

PM James Bolivar immediately and ask if he'd mind being your guide for the weekend. He's a crazy mo-fo but you will have the weekend of your life due to his unbounding joie de vive!

Your only challenge will be to keep up with his non stop dancing and merry making! ;)

Just take your time and mark out about three acts you really want to see each day and take it from there. Glastonbury has so much to see and do it would be a waste to rush around and miss everything.

Please do come back to this thread after the festival to reassess your usage of the word 'overwhelmed' :-D

You will have an awesome time, it's easier than it might appear and certainly easier than many other festivals due to the extra freedoms so you'll be fine with your experience

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
