WHAY WAS IT NOT THIS WEEKEND!!!????

BECAUSE IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE FINE NEXT WEEKEND!

Seriously, I haven't seen a single report in the last week - ECM or GFS - that indicates anything other than the proverbial 'enough to keep the dust down', which, my friends is a very very good thing. Things may change over the next few days, but it's not looking that way.

If the Accuweather forecast is any good, then this year could have the most ideal weather for a festival:

Cloudy (yes, cloudy!)

Warm

No f*cking rain

I like the sun, but if it was over 25C every day, it makes it all a little bit tougher. Scorchio is certainly better than a mudbath, but very high temperatures brings its own set of problems.

I don't think I'm alone on this opinion...anyone else with me?

Jackone (or 10) basicaally doesn't have a clue at this stage (or arguably at any stage). You'd be better off consulting my Auntie Fanny's seaweed (which incidentally is bone dry at the moment).

It is possible that JackONE is actually an advanced cosmological mystic, who is actually charting out all the possible different alternate timelines- in one the weather is fantastic and we all have a great time, in another the weather is merely reasonable, in another it rains every day and sinks in a quagmire of mud. In which case we can but hope we don't end up in the darkest timeline...

Agreed, of the years I've been 2007 was the worst for weather, 2010 2nd worst for me. No sleep, dehydration, missed so much in the afternoon

You're jinxing us! You're like the person who says "cheer up, it will never happen" and then when it does happen, is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! ;)

I actually quite like wearing a coat, as I can get away with not carrying a bag around if I don't mind getting a few from the bar.

Has anyone noticed that 3 days ago there was panic and depression as forecasts showed that Weds/Thurs might have a bit of wet stuff.

Now pretty much all forecasts show Weds/Thurs are dry!

So whatever it says for Fri to Sun I think it is best ignored.

There was one GFS operational run that suggested quite a bit of rain but as pointed out at the time this was a massive outlier, other than that the forests have been pretty consistent.

Also very remincent of 2002/3 when the weather all week was warm without being oppressively hot, with the odd light shower, thus is exactly how the forcast is currently looking.

I think 2003 was the best weather I've experienced at Glastonbury. Preferred it to 2010 simply because it wasn't ridiculously hot - it was just very nice.

2002 was good too, although I have vague memories of it being seriously cold at night that year.

One thing I have noticed is that the weather is never shit on the Monday after the festival. I've never had to pack up my stuff in the rain. Even in 2007 the sun came out on Monday, just to take the piss.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
