Im flying from Ireland. Have to travel light and unfortunately I dont have walking boots. Yes maybe I should have invested in them but at this stage it is too late for me to get any. There is one shoe shop in the town where I live and they dont have any. Working until 7 this evening and flying out at 6am. I wore thick socks in 2011 but I just found it tortourous walking around as the mud caked on the wellies and made them even heavier to walk around. BTW I hate people who say MAN THE FUCK UP. We all have our own expectations for the festival. Anyway I will just have to invest in some wellies when I get there and psyche myself up. At least tomorrow and Thursday look good so I can get in as much of the area as I can.

I think the thing is that Glastonbury is very notorious for suffering from muddy/wet conditions so it would be foolish to not be prepared for that kind of scenario.

Dont get me wrong. The reason I didnt get any was because the weather here has been so nice for the last few weeks. I suppose I got complacent. I dont have a pair of walking shoes. Never needed them before as I always wore runners at any of the festivals I have gone too (well bar Glasto 2011 where I bought wellies on site). My bad but I was hoping against hope that the weather would be good. I much prefer wearing comfortable trainers when walking around. My wellies wont fit into a carry on bag. Its not a problem anyway. I can get them on site. I just hate walking around in the mud. Maybe I have an OCD about it :) :) Please god the rain wont be too bad. Looking at the acts I want to see I have a LOT of walking to do on Friday :) :)

Don't worry it's got potential to be a baptism of fire for many! You're going in with a positive mental attitude at least, can be needed to help others when they flag

Walking is overrated, skidding is the new way forwards - say no to friction!

Here's the 'forecast' you want to be monitoring. It's an aggregate/best guess based on a whole bunch of other forecasts.

I'm not even going this year (first time off in years... new baby!) and I'm still checking forecasts every 10 minutes. Jeez.

Thanks, that's really interesting. We may get hit or may not, but we're not doomed yet!!

That's what I've been saying the whole time, every forecast is based on a % chance and if you look at the % chance you'll see it's still very hit or miss :) The forecast pretty much always goes for the worst case scenario

DUCK CAST IS STILL forecasting 0.5mm of rain folks, so bring ur bikinis and speedos.

Never seen that one before - and I would take that if it really has to be wet.

I don't like seeing my fellow Glastonburiers unhappy! Take the positives:

Looks like FOUR dry days, maybe showers on Saturday if we're unlucky

The exceptionally dry ground will take a lot of hammering before it decides to give up.

The predicted weather front is not widespread. It's patchy. Some parts will be hit, some won't. Will be a coin toss if we will!

No matter what happens, you're still at the most wonderful place on earth, with lots of lovely people.

Smile. :)

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By davidd · Posted

      f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.

      Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December).

      Primavera Sound 2026

      After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.

      You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
