Went to visit my Aunt this evening. Checked her seaweed as usual (clammy) and got talking about this thread. She's 93 and lived in London during the Blitz. She said they used to prey for rain each night so that the German bombers wouldn't be able to target them so easily through the clouds. Brought this thread into some perspective for me to be honest. Anyway she hopes it will be a sunny week for us all. :)

As long as the Friday is not like the hell of the U2 year... That was the moment when I was so cold and wet I was the closest to phoning my parents and getting them to pick me up, take me home for a hot shower and then drop me back to the site...

On a side note, for those who say 2014 'wasn't that bad'... No, on the grand scale of things, it wasn't. But when you have to send your other half out to buy new wellies because the rain was so heavy it went inside your old ones and they are sodden and you are concerned about trench foot...oh and all the stages have to be SHUT DOWN because of the storm... That's pretty bad

You almost got your parents to pick you up so you could have a shower, and some more unbearable rain forced you to send your fella out to buy you things you didn't need?

C'mon. Get a grip folks

Not sure if latest run better or worse - Saturday might be shitter.

 

Think it is even, as there is definitely a bit more rain around on Friday, but Sunday is now dry. And temps have a max of 21 pretty much every day (apart from Sat when it's 19).

 

Just need that precipitation to nudge up the country on the Friday and we could be home and, quite literally, dry.

 

Monday morning looks horrendous for those working on the site though.

Monday morning looks horrendous for those working on the site though.

Where is this 'horrendous' coming from?

This monday looks wet, that's all. We have to get this exaggeration under control. 50mm is horrendous, 25 pretty damn nasty, 12 a shock, 6 some rain and 3 a shower - they're looking at maybe 5.

If every time precipitation falls it's disaster and horrendous then we'll all have a nervous breakdown before the festival. Which would be a shame as it looks pretty good to me:

Things sounding promising on net weather

"Quite good agreement on a spell of mostly dry weather from Tuesday through to next Saturday which would be the best effort so far this season with fairly warm air over the UK offering temperatures quite widely into the low twenties, possible mid to high twenties if we can draw up even warmer air from the south/south west.

Now next Sunday is the breakdown day according to the ECM, will that survive or will the Atlantic trough just keep barrelling around with no meaningful eastward progression."

    • 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. 🙂
