Twist. Parts of the site were a mess. Walking up to the camper and back was a nightmare at times. And it was fucking freezing late doors too. There was ice on the mud when I was going back to the van on Sunday night/Monday morning.

Ill take 2013 again though.

Oh Nal you poor dear thing. Did you get mud on your boots?

YES!

And it took my houseboy all of the next morning to clean them. My breakfast was slightly late as a result.

Some people are so self absorbed they don't think of the knock on consequences of the bad weather.

I would take the rain element of 2013, but I'm sure it was a bit too chilly and/or windy most days. I remember layers of clothing. Lots of layers.

The Sunday was the chilly one. Would have to be replaced with more warmth for a "stick" forecast.

I remember the videos of the workers in shangri-la the weekend before the festival last year, all taking a break and have a massive water fight as it was that hot. As soon as they posted that it seemed the weather took a turn. Just shows how quickly the weather on this country can change.

The only forecasts I really look at is the predicted weather on my app on my phone, check it each morning of the festival, it has hourly breakdowns and the last two years it has been spot on, even got the rain on the Thursday of 2013 down to the hour it started.

However he warned the extreme heat will trigger a spate of thunderstorms with sudden and heavy showers a risk in parts.

"These could bring the risk of some localised flooding due to torrential downpours in places, in particular, in some parts to the south of the country,"

this bit is slightly concerning but hopefully will just limit itself to a "keeping the dust down" early morning shower

Sounds like 2005.... 30 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday, before the site gets completely destroyed by the mother of all thunderstorms on Friday morning.

All the numbers make absolutely no sense to me, all i understand is from 5.1 to 7.4 on the positive side.

These are a big improvement. By my ratings, which are entirely subjective, they have gone from 5.1 out of 10to 7.4

    • 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. 🙂
