MilkyJoe Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Been to V twice purely for line up reasons but wouldn't go again unless there was somebody really special on which is doubtful these days. Have to say it is good for one thing though. You can pick up a pretty much brand new tent on the Monday morning. First time I went it rained on the Monday morning and the amount of decent tents left was atrocious. One of our neighbours left a brand new Outwell 6 man. It came home with me and lasted another 6 years as our main tent before our garage was flooded and it got ruined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all these years of wedded bliss when we meet new people I still introduce her as my first/ current wife.. and i still find it hilarious... oddly enough she doesn't! I love introducing my husband as my "first husband." Got to keep him on his toes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobo Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Glastonbury was my first festival, besides a few Bestivals and smaller city / day festivals like beachdown in brighton, loves saves the day in bristol ive never tried any others. Greenman and Shamabala have been on my list of must try's for a few years though. May even do the latter this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moheetoes Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 It is indeed sad sad news. I'm off to see my best friend and daughter tonight who were at the concert, they're struggling to come to terms with what they saw and experienced, thankfully they were unhurt but the trauma will stay with them for a long time to come yet.

amyharvz Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I got a bit teary this morning listening to Blossoms- the first band we saw at Glasto last year. We thought we'd missed the gig, but it turned out they were starting late. The sun was shining, our hangovers miraculously disappeared, and we remembered how amazing it is to be on a farm with wonderful people and live music playing wherever you go. Today has to be the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went last year to their tour and then this spring one just gone. Then took a weeks holiday to Vancouver with some friends to find out they were playing on my last night. $9 a ticket in front of probably no more than 100 people in some strange little venue/bar. It was absolutely magical. Looking forward to seeing them on the pyramid this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a massive fan but I saw James Bay last year in New York in front of about 250 people .. He was bloody brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen Arcade Fire at CIA cardiff, headline glastonbury and play roundhouse in london. Roundhouse blew the other two away. Nothing is as good as seeing a band at there peak in a small venue.
