So I've been every year bar one since 2007 and there are things I have just never got round or seen. Reading posts on this site makes me feel like a real newbie ( which I probably am compared to most of the posters). This is my list of stuff to try and finally get round to this year.....what's yours

1. To see a set at the Acoustic tent - always see it being set up at the beginning on the first days walk around but never thereafter

2. To see the strummer vile fire at night

3. To go into the underground piano bar - see 1.

4. To have a growler - actually they always look a bit gross - cross that one off

5. To see the Mutoid mechanical vehicle parade thingy

6. To see a set in the Avalon Cafe - actually to go in there generally

7. To have shower

8. To have a sh1t at the flush able porcelain toilets

9. To camp on the farmhouse side of the site - always in pennards, diary, pylon

1. To get in the shangri la. It's always too busy so I've gone to Arcadia / the Common

2. Bez's Acid House for a night

3. Go on a walk after the pyramid (I'm going to see Arcade fire and Metallica) and see where I end up.

4.. Don't go at it too hard on the Thursday...... sasha?!!!!!!

5. Find something I didn't know about and spend some quality time there

There are porcelain toilets?

Mine:

  1. Go to more of the smaller stages,
  2. Spend more time just chilling out sat around at the Stone Circle, looking at the view, people watching and generally chewing the fat with festy mates. Rather than charging around so much.

1. get into the secret area of the rabbit hole

2. go down the helter skelter at Avalon

3. see the Black Keys in a relatively sober state (the last time I saw them I was really drunk and I barely remember it, which I totally regret as they were touring El Camino at the time and I really love that album)

4 find the bin I purchased

5 for me and my robot obsessed girlfriend to control the robotic hand thing

6. pancakes in the beat hotel

Going to the piano bar would be nice too, as would seeing the Doritos Mariachi band if they don't clash with anything. Seeing something in the cabaret tent and getting jerk chicken from the place I get jerk chicken every year is also on the list but the first 6 are the priorities

I love this thread! I found the stone dragon the other day whilst walking the site - I was v excited. I've got such a long list of things to do, because I've been a few (3) times before I feel I need to *really* do Pilton this year, the other times I've gone has been mainly about the main stages. I cannot WAIT to discover the hidden gems I've overlooked. I have a list. I endeavour to cross a few off this year :biggrin:

included are:

Hare Krishna at night - seen them during the day but apparently at night they are even more awesome.

The Crows Nest - I have no idea what this is.

Champagne cocktails in Shangri La

Fluffy Rock cafe for breakfast and later for cocktails

Strummerville

Rabbit hole.

and thats just a few. Not planning but yeah, you know what I mean.

So many things. Haven't seen a band at the Acoustic Stage since about '97. Never been to Bez's Acid House. The circus tent has eluded me, though seen plenty of acts in that area. What's the place underneath the crashed plane called? Not been there. Bejeysus, this could go on a while.

Get into the proper rabbit hole bit.

Watch more DJ sets, in 4 years I've seen only 2 because none of my mates are really into electronic music.

That's about it I think. I've done most the things now, but I'm taking my girlfriend for the first time this year so I feel like I get to go through the excitement of discovering everything all over again!

    • 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. 🙂
