Hi, I've been a lurker/browser for a few years, finally got my act together and created an account.... Hoping to make it to the effects meet this year. 

Same here! Well, have been lurking for the last couple years anyway. This efests was a life-saver last year when we were planning for our first Glastonbury, so glad to have finally sorted myself out an actual account.

Dan from Los Angeles here. Been lurking on the boards for a couple of years ever since I started kicking around the idea of a Euro 2016/Glastonbury trip, and I'll be on a plane next Thursday.

I know Glastonbury will be way different than Coachella or Outside Lands, but I can't wait to see how different.

My first Glastonbury was the mudfest that was 1997, and i've been to every one since then.
After having well and truly done my time in the queues at 5am, pulling the trolley through mud and lugging other peoples tent's we have finally bought our first camper van!

I've been avidly reading all the campervan threads, and i'm excited all over again to be experiencing my favourite place on the planet from a whole new perspective! The vibe on Tuesday night in the CV fields sounds ace and it feels like i've gained an extra day at Glasto!

 

 

 

Are you me? :blink: This is exactly me.

I joined prior to my first Glastonbury in 2013 and was given loads of good advice. Almost didn't go as none of my friends managed to get tickets so it was just me and my son (who was 21 at the time). Loved it (of course) and went back in 2014. Didn't manage to get tickets last year so couldn't face looking at the forum.

 

This is year I'm planning on being there with my husband, my son and his girlfriend. Slight spanner in the works is that I was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and need surgery, but I'm hoping that can be delayed until after Glastonbury. The consultant looked horrified when I suggested it, but admitted the delay wouldn't be detrimental to my health. People who don't go to Glastonbury just don't understand!

My consultant was the same when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We'd been offered precious VIP tickets to Strictly Come Dancing by one of the judges so I asked the surgeon to delay the lumpectomy op for a few days.

Happily he agreed, we went to SCD and, afterwards, I was so high from the drugs after the op that I was dancing up and down the ward of women he'd already operated on that day, showing them how to do a fleckle!

Hi all, I'm Cheryl. Posted a question on here a few days ago so thought it might be nice to chat to some other forum users :) I've been to lots of festivals but this will be my third Glastonbury. The last time I went was in 2000 so I'm interested to see how it's changed in 16 years! I got tickets through the main sale and will be staying in the east campervan field.

Hi, just joined and created a dumb username. Anyways, Glastonbury... can't wait. I inadvertently am headed out alone this year. If there are any other solos please let me know as it would be good to get a group started. :

Welcome - there are loads of people going on their own who are all planning to camp together in the Darble field. See the Camp Solo thread to find out more so you can get in contact with the organiser. It sounds like a fun place.

Very long time lurker. Been to Glastonbury since 2003, but not his year.

Finally coming to terms with not going so just wanted to say have a great time to everyone that is.

Also wanted to say this forum feels like the online version of Worthy farm.

Enjoy, hope to see you next year

    • Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.
    • If the campervan field residents aren’t allowed to cut through orchid they’ve got a brutal walk on their hands.   otherwise not too many surprises 
    • This. I always read in awe the hatred toward the festival and Gerendai.  I see no chance of it being cancelled, except if something worse happens, like the whole electric grid collapses or something. But that’s not really a case. Worst case scenario is that the whole thing will be ran by diesel generators for the sake of the environment.
    • they are shutting down the nuclear power plant until Friday ; sziget starts 3 days later plus, they said they will have to import energy.    So I see no point in cancelling an event that will make them lose money
