Most Anticipated Moment...

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's more likely  to break out when the sun appears after a spell of inclement weather.

[Spindles]

Flopping down on the grass at my location of choice, backpack and gear strewn on the floor with sweat dripping in the sun and knowing that I've made it again and the effort is basically over.

For the first time ever at Glastonbury for me this year we'll have a car in the car parks, so I can do multiple trips, so maybe less of the sweating (although that morning sun in the height of June can be more than enough).

Walking into the festival for my very FIRST time!!!! The anticipation of what that's gonna feel like makes my stomach feel like the butterflies are in there doing the riverdance!

SO EXCITED, CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Last year was my first, you'll be surprise how at home you feel very quickly! Arriving into Pilton and seeing the festival is a special moment.

No one has mentioned that cheer which spreads across the site on the Wednesday evening.

Although saying that not sure if I've heard it the last couple of years?

We should get our arses up to the Stone Circle and cheer our heads off.

alas, like shouting 'bollocks' and wearing an oversized jesters hat, the cheer now seems part of glastonbury's past.

This is going to be my first Glastonbury so I suppose seeing the farm for the first time and just absolutely losing myself over the space of 5 days, then spending the rest of my life reminiscing about it.

Being geeky ... first sight of the John Peel in it's new location!

Probably not my MOST anticipated moment, but I sure am excited about seeing Ezra Furman.

[Abensie]

Definitely when the tent is pitched and the first beer cracked. I'm with you on that one.  That is the moment the festival opens for me. :-)

Either...The SeeTickets page on Sunday saying "Sold Out"...

Or...ZZ Top walking out on stage, Billy Gibbons hitting his guitar, and a fuzzy crackling sound comes out - bliss.

The cheer at 8am on Wednesday when the gates opened last year was brilliant to hear from the 'inside'

Really excited for this too! Being based in/near the woods with a brand new light installation - sounds like it will give the stage a bit more character and I can't wait to see it. 

It was only my first time last year but I thought the JP tent stuck out as lacking a bit of personality, just your bog-standard festival tent in a bit of a barren area really. Hoping this shifts the dynamic a little!

Also when it rains it is like that castle at the end of Holy Grail.  Hope they have found some slightly elevated ground for the tent most likely to over spill. :-)

*SYNTHS KICK IN*

Don't you want me to wake up? Then give me just a bit of your time!


That bit. That will be the best bit.

GOOSEBUMPS!!!! UGH.  In tears at my desk thinking about this!!

[stixmcvix]

Getting to the coach pickup point on Wednesday morning and seeing all my mates laden with luggage and looking festival-fresh.

Then, receiving my ticket on the coach.

Then, the first sight of the festival site. Will try hard not to scream and cry.

Then, getting that wristband safely on my left wrist.

Then, getting to my tipi, pulling up a pew, and cracking open a chilled canned cocktail and having a smoke with my pals, and kicking back in the sun for an hour or two before heading off for a good explore.

Then, chewing the fat with lots of festival randoms throughout the 5 days and laughing my wellies off.

Getting parked up and having that first beer in the car park watching people arrive.  We usually arrive about 5ish on the Wednesday just when the site is starting that early evening buzz. Then meeting up with the rest of the group - how come in "real life" when you meet someone it's usually a nod, a "alright" or maybe a handshake.  When you meet someone at Glastonbury its a massive hug and loads of back patting!!!!

Team Adele are going to *school* you geeks in how to take it off the dial.

[shuttlep]

finding out Radio Head are playing a secret gig

[Alan_C]

I'm interested to see if they're using the same tent for John Peel, or if they're making it bigger.

Unloading in the van.

I welcome the demise of the wacky hat.

So shoot me.
