I honestly can't remember it raining for that long on the Thursday last year - I could have sworn it was an hour or two at most! I remember trekking to meet my friend at a gate Thursday night and thinking there was a little bit of mud, but if that's what 8 hours sustained rain does to a dry ground, I'm feeling optimistic about this year's light showers!

Same! I remember standing in the Rum Shack drinking to blur the rain away, heard one girl whine and thought 'why are you crying, we're here!' ...and I'm pretty sure the rain disappeared after that! Optimistic here also!

thursday shows 19 degrees day, 12 overnight from where i'm sitting

in fact the overnight temprature is better than all other days , mostly 10 overnight

Still holding firm that its only Friday with a couple of hrs of "heavier than light" rain

in afternoon... Not enough to dampen things I think

Started raining at 2-3pm but lightly and stopped.. then it started heavily around 4:30ish I think as I was by the cider bus. It rained till about 9-10pm at least. It also briefly rained for an hour first thing on Friday

I think we'll be golden. As has been said, the ground is perfect, and any rain on Thursday/Friday shouldn't be too much of an issue. Surely be fine to sit down by Saturday if those two days are all the rain we're getting!

This will be my 9th Glastonbury and I honestly don't think I will ever see it as bad as it was on Brown Friday in 2005. That was bonkers. I remember getting woken up about 5am by the crazy rain and helping some guy camped behind me who had pitched his tent but didn't have any pegs.

I think that's what the kids nowadays call an "epic fail".

Found this video that shows just how horrible it was at the bottom of Pennard hill first thing on Friday morning in 2005.

2005 - 18 year old me at her first glastonbury. Didn't have wellies and took a single skinned tent, which I spent most of Friday morning bailing out water from with paper cups. Fell out with my best friend that weekend, never seen her again. She didn't float away the rain just made her a c*nt.

Never again with the daft wide eyed ignorance. You could tell me it's 100% going to be a 2010 affair and i will still pack my wellies.

    • 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. 🙂
