2005. Was great and then turned into a disaster.

This year is going to be a disaster too. I know, it, you know it and Eavis knows it. Big thunderstorm, site gets flooded, we all churn up the site and we're fucked.

Get out.

I think a light morning rain wouldn't be too bad, stop by mid day ish on one of the days. It won't flood.

You remember how in about 2007 they spent 750 grand on improving drainage and you're talking utter shite?

Thats a myth. It was still a mudbath for parts of 2009 and 2011. There just wasn't the same amount of rain. You're kidding yourself. Time to live in the real world. The fact that the weather has been nice is a bad thing. It simply can't last.

Its going to be awful. Hailstones the size of snooker balls, swirling gusts of unforgiving wind, relentless rain, winged serpents descending from the skies and snatching folk away like subbuteo men, the ground opening up like The Great Pit of Carkoon with loved ones dropping into the bleak darkness forever, widespread fires, swarms of locusts hollowing through peoples eye sockets, Bryan Ferry playing on the West Holts. Really, really bad.

Didn't accidentally put acid in your corn flakes this morning did you?

I remember a bad trip like that, except the Bryan Ferry, never got that bad

I thought you had got your ticket sorted now? :P

I think we're talking a different scale of mudbath tbh. Maybe a couple of acres got that bad (crossing into Dance from camping, path through Park...) but the rest was hunky dory

If noone's using a canoe it's not really wet

    • Plenty of good stuff this month. Very difficult choice, but I'm going with some of those I've listened to most (the sunny weather may also have been influential)...   1. The Coral - 388 2. Kurt Vile - Philadelphia's Been Good to Me 3. The Lemon Twigs - Look For Your Mind!   Others I've been enjoying... Laurie Anderson's live album, Broken Social Scene, Pigeon, The Black Keys, etc
    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.
