Well, it's been lovely and warm all day here in Liverpool - just for another North West perspective :lol: I'd definitely take weather like this for Glastonbury, pleasant but not too much sun, because I'm extra pale and burn.

To add a Scottish perspective, we have had rain forecast all week but we have had glorious sunshine instead. A rumble of thunder yesterday but it was all full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.    I am optimistic.

Did any of the weather forecasts, from Internet sites or people on here, get it pretty much spot on last year, does anyone recall?

JackONE is usually pretty spot on and was so last year- he dedicates a lot of time and effort (see the link to his blog in the post above)

Only a few spots of rain in Pilton today, ground on farm is very dry and dusty, security are having to wear dust masks.

It was a really hot day today as well.

 

 

Thanks Mr Splodge - As great as it is to hear regional daily reports from Manchester and the northwest this is much better! Keep them coming!

It's okay.

The festival isn't actually in Glastonbury, it's in Pilton.

Pretty sure the forecast for Pilton will be much better than that.

:ph34r:

It isn't, going by the beeb forecast on postcode BA4. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Suddenly it's really hot and sunny here in SE London. 

...and it was supposed to rain all evening. Just shows that the weather forecasts cover their asses when it comes to rain.

Unless it's a proper mudbath I genuinely couldn't give a monkeys.

If I wanted to go somewhere with no rain I could be bored in the Costa del Sol for a week. As it happens I'd rather watch LCD Soundsystem with the threat of pissing rain. Bring it on, it'll be a laugh.

As Billy Connolly said: "get yourself a sexy raincoat and live a little"

And "jobbie".

    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
