not the person you asked but I always drink it when I'm at Academy gigs. Its quite sweet. it's made with actual apple fruit juice rather than the way cider is traditionally made. I like it, but I suspect it's not for everyone

I bought 4 taster cans tonight. Think I'll get a slab of 20 just to bulk up my supplies. I'm in a Motorhome so don't have to worry about carrying anything.

Anyone know which bars sell good cocktails?

I know the beat hotel do but where else?

 

The one with the bird cage above it in the circus field, there's one in, I think, the arse end of Shangri La and the NYC Downlow do a mean cocktail. The Glasto Latino bar is good for a mojito. 

 

I've heard good things about somewhere in Silver Hayes. Sadly, or not so sadly, I can't really remember anywhere else.

I'd agree with the one in the circus field and glasto Latino, lovely stuff. The bar near john peel usually has a side bar in the tent that does cocktails

What's sommersby cider like? £10 for 20 cans has got my interest.

I really liked it, I won't touch wrongbow again. Which is in the same price bracket. The flavoured ones are really nice too, the cranberry especially, but ive only seen them in bottles. Worth a go at that price dude.

The wife has picked up 2 boxes of echo falls red from b&m bargains for £9 each today, she phoned me in her excitement to tell me, said each box holds the equivalent of three bottles.

 

I was coming here to ask about boxes of red - definitely gonna have to make a quick trip to B&M now!

 

Failing that - anyone know where else does decent boxes of red for a good price?

Tried my local Tescos. It's massive. Nothing but wine in boxes.

 

Tried all of the supermarkets 'round here.

 

Was going to order one from the Thatchers website until I got to checkout and they wanted more for P&P than the box cost.

 

I have bought 2 x 3l boxes of Country Manor from Tesco (4.69 a box) and it tastes great. Nice warm aswell which is a must for Glasto!

 

Maybe worth buying a box to see if you like that. Not as nice as Thatcher's but good all the same!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
