Somerset Live, getting all their Glasto leads from efestivals since 2015.

They do have better pictures of the work from on site though.

Just seen the banning plastic bottles article on there as well..... Anyone have any idea if they just mean banning vendors from selling plastic bottled items or banning us taking our spirits in in plastic bottles also?? haha May have to get a metal bottle.

Just vendors I think is what EE said recently at an event in Taunton.

No plastic ban enforced but efforts to reduce plastic sold on-site. More water stations will be built too.

it was the vendors ...although they said they will try to reduce the overall use by not enforcing a ban in a similar way to the lanterns and NOS at the stone circle

I imagine it would be a big shake up for the vendors.... would have to sell cans instead of bottles. To be honest though.... I have never bought a bottle of whatever at a festival ever. Beer & Cider is my staple... in cans or cups haha....  Im doing my bit for the environment! :D

ive always brought small bottles from the ice-cream vans to use as mixers ... it is useful to have a lid on them ... one year on arrival they randomly gave me a bottle of coke with my name on it .... which I proudly kept through the festival as my water container :)

The important question is what are they going to sell the milk in? Can't be glass, tetra packs aren't exactly great for the environment, so where does that leave you? Straight from the cow's teat?

They used to sell it from a jug carried by a horse and cart when my Mum was young.  Never hurt her, apart from the tuberculosis, of course.

How am I going to get the right mix of Kahlua & Vodka if I'm dodging a cows tail?

    • I’ve also got a media contact who gets hospitality tickets, he says their allocation of them is slightly reduced this year. The few Off site ultra expensive glamping/hospitality ticket packages mostly sold out a while ago. Some just after the 2025 festival ended. 
    • No one mentioned this here yet, but regular tickets for Sunday, the 30th of August, are again on sale
    • Not seen anything on socials or main website so far on the Bimble Inn line-up.
    • Current top 10 - constantly changing, though  Pulp  Madra Salach  Angine De Poitrine / Brakes (worried they're gonna clash)  Joshua Idehen  Anna von Hausswolff Super Fury Animals  Bab L'Buz  SLAG Model/Actriz  Modern Woman 
    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
