Bollocks was alive and well in my campsite last year (lower mead) - didn't realise it wasn't travelling round the site!! I know it's immature blah blah blah but like everything at festivals it's the community spirit that makes it brilliant I've been hearing the bollocks Mexican wave at every festival I've been to over the last fifteen years and long may it continue!!

A monstrous psychedelic pair ole Bollocks.

I think the difference between shouting ''BOLLOCKS'' and ''ALAN'' or whatever was that it didn't set out to be overly smart or witty,a more of a kind of release of tension that we were all away from the 9-5 coalface and getting back down to the basics and having a damn good party in the great outdoors,a kind of primeval gut renching scream if you will.

It just happened to be bloody funny as well.

We have a friend called Alan and Steve coming to Glastonbury with us so I may well be shouting Alan andb Steve! Lol

Used to hear 'Bollocks' shouted at Reading every year I went from 99-08, then in 2009 it got replaced with 'green army' from that Aviva ad feat Paul Whitehouse, then we had 'Alan!' for a few years after that advert on the BBC, then last year it was that fucking Man City song to the tune of 'No Limits' yaya, yaya, yaya, yaya, yaya, yaya, yaya toure! kolo, kolo, kolo, kolo, kolo, kolo, kolo, kolo Toure!

I remember it was a popular thing to do for 14 year olds away from their parents for the first time at Reading festival in 96

[jeffie]

Thought I'd lost me bollocks

[frostypaw]

Was it ever determined for certain whether the story of a kid losing his bollocks at Reading Fest after a deodorant can exploded on a campfire was true or not?

[jeffie]

Unlikely, looking at the crowd, I don't think any of their bollocks have dropped.

Fond memories from my first ever festival (V2001) - when I wondered what the hell was going on; soon got the hang of it.

Can't remember it happening for a few years, but you get the random cheers going across the site, especially on the Wednesday - they're always fun.

Seems a shame that so many of the modern chants are based on adverts.

[Pinhead]

Do we still get the 'Glasto Cheer' wave go across the site on Wednesday PM any more? I didn't hear it in 2011 and wondered whether it had finally died a death. Used to really send shivers down my back with anticipation when I heard it - was something special I haven't heard at any other such event.

It was prevalent at Phoenix '96. First festival I ever went to. So the origins must go back further than then.
