So........... The meet is in the Park sounds good to me.

downside is gets busy, long way away for som and if a bit moist can be a nightmare.

Positives good atmosphere and good food.

The entrance area gets very hard going when it's been r***ing, but from Bimble Inn upwards is one of the best places on site to be in those conditions.

If people could learn not to spill their beers then we wouldn't have this issue!

I like the Glade bar - but that's usually because that stage plays the music I like. Always think the Park is soooo far out on the arse of nowhere. Most of the music I wanted to see last year was at Avalon or Croissant Neuf stage on the Thursday evening.

But I'll see everyone at the Wednesday meet in the Circus field - now that was a nice spot. Not too crowded and plenty of room with picnic benches and all that jazz.

How about a Thursday meet at the circus field?

Spill beer - disgusting behaviour!!!!

Maybe not the park though it will not be crowded cos there will be no music on stage.......

Now onto Dee's post..................

I will bow to all those with greater knowledge and go with the majority vote.

All I would love is as many as possible there so we can all meet again and chat again, maybe this time for longer and I might actually remember more - hopefully!!

What bars/food are in/near the curcus field?

or

Is there sonmewhere near Avalon/C Neuf that we could meet and move on from there maybe - just thinking out loud!!

Was waiting for Debbie to come home but there was a bar near west holts with benches outside no idea what it is called as rubbish with names, used it a lot last year never seemed busy and loads of room.

It is with much sadness that I have to announce the passing of my neighbour Andrew Kerr. Without him and his money and energy the GF would not be.

He was such an interesting man with stories that could go on for hours. If you have not read his book then do yourselves a favour - facinating.

Very sad news. Deserves it's own thread IMHO. I'll be checking out his book, for sure - this the one?

Worrying to note that he's only a couple of years older than Michael.

Far side of the stage on the left, sells cider and water, we'll need both with that heat!

Indeed, right in the corner!

The Park sounds good, I may join yous after the #twisto meet of twitter glasto mad people in West Holts (boy thats a trek, but I am thinking of moving back to Park Home this year anyway, so I can drop off for more alcohol :D)

That's a real shame. I thought the book was excellent. He was a stalwart of the festival Edited by jeffie

After this year I want nothing but a heatwave. It was tough even with a hotel for two nights. This year we aren't camping at all and trying the b&b experience from the Thursday onwards :)

Sunny, this year was a reasonably good year to be honest. It r**ned a bit, albeit torrential for some of the time. But it was by a long way not the worst Glastonbury I've ever been to.

      I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.

      MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.

      2027 Headliners

      Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others

      From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”

      Glastonbury 2027 ticket price predictions

      I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
