I have just brought some waterproof stuff and dug out the old wellies, so hopefully that will ensure it doesn't rain. Of course if I forget to pack them, we will be swimming between the stages in a storm of biblical proportions. In 1998 I didn't take any waterproof gear and look what happened that year....

Just to add in a dose of blind optimism - this reminds me a bit of 99.

After the hell of 98, waited till the week before to buy a ticket. It was warm, dry and forecast to stay that way.

Come the weekend, it was forecast to break down and everyone was predicting showers for Thursday - Saturday. Was gutted.

In the end, Saturday was a bit cloudy and there was some light drizzle, but apart from that a mix of clouds and sunny spells. Friday ended up being 2010 level roasting.

You know what kiddos, I think we're going to be just fine with the weather.

Look outside right now! Tis bleddy hot! A little bit of cloud and a slight bit of drizzle might do us good, you know how tiring that consistent sunshine can be.

I mean it wouldn't be Glasto if we didn't have a chance to try on our wellies and wash off in the wet stuff for a moment.

Let's rejoice that we're going, come rain or shine, we're going to have a bloody good time.

(ps, aren't thunder storms exciting!)

Seeing as this thread makes grown adults have serious break downs at times .. If you had to pay an extra £150 for guaranteed sunshine all weekend with no showers .. Would you?

showers are fine, for me its the ability to plank your arse anywhere. ive been going since the early 90s and without a doubt the best ones are when you can sit and appreciate the music from whoever and whenever you fee like. i think a artists in the smaller fields playing and the circus benefit from a mud a free fest :)

Want to get depressed as easy as 1-2-3? Read this thread!

Plenty of negative nancies :P

If I was the kind of person who could just tell myself "everything will be fine:" and believe it, I wouldn't have any need to look at this thread! ;)

I'm freaking out man, I'm freaking out!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
