Secret resales 2015

First time we went to Glasto, we took a load of food provisions as you do (not knowing too much about the wonderful options there).  We went out, had a great night, staying out in the stone circle till about 10am as the weather was very hot.  We got back to tent to find the milk had leaked into all our sleeping bags and clothes and had gone sour.   We picked up the tent and put it on the rubbish pile.  This was Wednesday night.  We slept in the space where our tent was for the next 4 nights in the same clothes.

My abiding memory from Glastonbury is from 2010 (possibly 2011). I met a lovely guy at who was working for the BBC up at the stone circle. My friends bailed out pretty early on so he and I walked around pretty much the whole site basically telling our life stories and sat and watched sunrise together. However, I was a little the worse for wear (understatement) and my next memory is waking up on the other side of the site from my tent, sitting in someone's camping chair where I'd clearly fallen asleep, wearing a fox hood. I have never felt as poorly as I did that day. Had a bloody great time though :D

Lol, I still haven't quite learned that I end up wearing the same thing for 6 days. Each time I way overpack on outerwear, and underpack on underwear. this year I swear I'm bringing 30 pairs of knickers and one pair of jeggings.

Ive solved half that problem by just wearing a kilt for the whole festival. No undies needed !

Dodgy tent stories? Like many mine was my at my first Glastonbury back in 1989. I turned up with what I thought as a teenager was a perfectly good tent. It wasn't, it was probably a play tent too and made of canvas. It had half a pole and about 3 tent pegs, no way of doing up at the front and it  partially collapsed after a few hours. I came back to the campsite after a couple of days to find it flat on the ground with evidence it had been used as a handy skinning up dry area. As a teenager it didn't bother me and I was better off than a mate who arrived on a motorbike with what he stood up in, he slept crosslegged on a plastic bag

1989 was the first time I went. Ticket was £27. There was one Main Stage, but the Pixies and Waterboys played and it was great. The Kids Field was basically Michael's kids seesaw and swing. It was also really hot so the fact that you lost a tent probably didn't matter. I remember sleeping under a sheet. Loads of space for camping and the dealers used to go round to each group of tents offering their wares...

I know for some just being there will be enough..but where does everyone generally like to camp? we've been in Kidney Mead last 8 times. Love it there, although long trek back from Block 9 in the wee hours!

Park home ground was my favourite but not been in there since the car parks started opening on Tuesday. Been Oxylers and bushy ground the last few years.

We've always been Michael's Mead. Nice gentle slope to stop the rain, and easy to walk everywhere really!

    • 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. 🙂
