Phew!

this is my first Glastonbury and I fully expect to walk through those gates and be greeted in the manner which befits my status.

"Good morning, my good man"

"Ah, doctor, good morning. We've been expecting you. Now, may I take your rucksack? Where is it that you would like to camp? We will, of course, forcibly move anyone who has had the bare-faced cheek to pitch in your desired location".

Oh yes. Yes, indeed. Yup.

Flip flops, minimum. Anything else is a bonus.

Something like this carlos and you should be alright for the weekend! Perfect outfit!

I start my journey straight after work at 6pm, get into brum just after midnight and im on the 2:15am national express bus out of digbeth station

Brilliant!

Last year my group met near the site at 5am and convoyed into the car parks and got in the queue. We got split up into two groups along the way due to crowd surges, the other lot got through about 10am and my lot got through about midday.

This year I am wondering whether we should meet at 10pm Tuesday night and kip in the car park for a bit then queue. I plan to put it to the group later.

Oh its not long now!!! :)

New tents just arrived too :)

Its starting to feel like its happening now folks :)

What's this about you and a coach getting back? If you don't get sorted, I can get you back up to Leeds on the Monday, but that's not the quickest option you'll have. PM me if you want to chat, as I'm off in meetings and then busy tonight, so may not be able to check on this thread for a bit (unless the meeting gets really boring).

Unfortunatly due to my newbie staus as glasto i cant offer any advice, im only hetting there at that time because they were charging nearly £50 more for one that got there at a sensible time and all the other options would be too late to go to the efests meet

Without knowing whats best id say get there early have a party get a few hours kip then head into the site :)

In previous years we have got tot eh car parks about 7am, but thats too late for where we want to camp really! Last year worked well, so we might just do that again. I'll see what the others say!

£50 extra? What a cheek! I think you'll be fine doing it the way you are, you can kip on the bus and get a few hours kip once you're set up, then get stuck in to the party around lunchtime!!

This weekend we are sorting out tent and other camping stuff.

I fear what we might find!!

As I live in a flat and do not have a shed/garage, my camping stuff is under the bed mostly, but there are odds and ends around the house. I plan to get my tent out soon and have a go at putting it up, as I have never done that!!! :)You've prob put mine up more than I have!! (oo er)

Ben are you camping with other folk from here?

Well...

I am not sure how much I should, or should not, divulge about that!

The short answer is yes, I think I am.

I have had a really rather lovely offer to join some people that, if they can still bear the thought of it by the time we reach June, I will be taking up!

I have been to festivals on my own before and had a good time, but for me it really is all about a shared experience, with the sort of wonderful people that I get to spend time with only at festivals, and not in my normal world.

I so want my first Glastonbury to be a shared experience, partly because I know that I can make it fun for other people too!!

So, I think I am pretty sorted and hope to be in Dairy with some very new, lovely friends...

:)

Ben

    • Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.
    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
    • No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
    • Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
