Have done both for the past couple of years. Both are great. BD is bigger and i'd say a little bit more diverse musically. They tend to book acts from across the years too, and there are some real gems this year. Last year James and Leftfield were brilliant, but Gentlemans Dub club and Afroceltic Sound system where top. No sponsorship anywhere, which tells you its a festival run by people who love festivals (Levellers obviously)

EoR is more indie. With the exception of a couple they're all new to me. EoR has probably the best food I've ever seen at a festival too, plus there's a really good late night area with lots of effort going into the site. Savages where off the scale in terms of a performance. Comedy was top class too, although this year they had some rubbish queuing system that really spoilt it. Lots of complains so hopefully they wont repeat that.

Both are set in beautiful parts of the West Country.

If I had to choose I'd probably go BD, but I don't so am doing both again!

Brilliant, thankyou!

I'm doing Green Man even if I do go to Glasto but it seems like an awesome alternative anyway. Great lineup this year and the brecon beacons are beautiful.

I'm doing Green Man again this year, such a great little festival.

I was going to do Latitude as well but the line up is pony

Very true.  Can remember trying to get shade underneath the flags but having to move every few minutes when the sun shifted.

It's amazing how creative you can get with finding shade when your scalp is slowly melting away.

Beautiful Days is the more lively of the two I did festivals 2 to 9 and loved it. The back end of August is busy for me now so I can't normally make it. The atmosphere is excellent, it has the Bimble Inn and the Tiny Tea Tent if you want some familiar Glastonbury faces too.

End of the Road musically a little more reserved and subtle. Very relaxed atmosphere, lovely grounds. I think you would enjoy either.

Thankyou! If I don't get tickets I'll discuss both with the husband. And then I'll decide which one we're going to anyway

I really do feel for you ticketless ones - I have tickets and am trying for someone else (who I have never met!!) but this is doing my head in.

Tried last year in the 'secrets' for another person too with no luck.

I really think if ever we are ticketless at this point we shall book something else rather than go through this despite how lovely this little community is.

Come on GS and SEE - just settle it one way or another PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

same last yr and this, my sis missed out on general sale and resale but she cant really go online at work. it's only as i'm home with my toddler atm i'm able to do it.

Actually thinking about it, if I was going in a group, id do BD, if I was going as a couple, it would be EoR.....make of that what you will, both are fab!

Nothing new so far today guys?

Haven't been able to keep track.

At the risk of sounding like a selfish prick, I'm glad there was no sale yesterday as I was completely out of action. However I'm here ready, sweating my arse off in my hotel lobby leeching the free wifi and missing out on the gorgeous Jamaican sun all in the hope of bagging a ticket. So come on See, bring it!!!!! 

Oooohhh where in Jamaica !?

We bought some blankets from the oxfam shop, took the guy ropes off the tent and strung 2 big blankets to the gazebo at the back of jazz world to create some shade - we met lots of lovely people who came by to stop, chat and escape the sun for a while.

When we saw kids going by with parents, we invited them to come and sit and escape the heat - it was bloody relentless though.

 

That was in 2010

So likely to be next week not this?

I've had to take a step back from being fully on it and doing no work, to being slightly on it and doing the minimum amount of work needed to keep my department functional at work.

Amazing idea! And good on you to look out for others, a hot festival is way more dangerous than a wet one. Ive seen some shocking sun burn over the years

2015 i  pretended to wait in line at a cash point that was in the shade. Kept letting people go in front. Not the most fun area to be hanging out in but it was 5mins of heaven.

Well Neil's take on it, and based on gut feeling only, was today, tomorrow, or Monday. Anything after Tuesday was then very unlikely.

[jennilily]

sorry if I am behind - my friend just msgd to say doesn't think is happening - hes normally optimistic - did I miss something??

For purely selfish reasons, I hope it's Monday as I'm off work all day and can be poised and ready

Nothing missed...just the wait is decaying optimism. 

I am still hopeful of course. Week aint over yet!

I'm really beginning to doubt it now. Been pretty slack the last few days - doing things like going to the toilet in the afternoon, not stressing etc. Not Worried this week anywhere near so much, even though I'm still in high alert.

Likewise at present relying on an IPhone much rather be behind a computer where I feel a little more in control

Thank you, it's not even for me!! But I feel so invested xxx

[beefykoala]

I keep catching myself relax and then I have to remind myself of how angry I'd be if I spent all this time going insane only to miss the 35 seconds I was waiting for.

[BeddyDriver]

come on 4pm, open it up for us

[beefykoala]

I'm actually desperate for the loo, but refuse to go until 4pm is out of the way.
