I found this forum looking to find new people going to glastonbury 2017. I went for the first time in 2010. Celebrating my 30th back then. Never rained, ended up with really bad sun burn. I remember having to go to the medical tent and they didnt know how to treat burns ha. I am hoping for another dry festival but the odds are against me. Not long now,. Will be celebrating my 37th Birthday there, 24th June.

 

Last time I went I ended up in bed at around 12pm every night I know sad ha, this year will be different  i hope

Greetings - I am a long time lurker on the forum. Thought it was about time i said hello and contributed. I've been going to the festival since a teenager back in 1990. This year will be my 12th visit - still love the place. Previously I've worked at the festival, both as a photographer and as a DJ. Now it's just for fun and catching up with old friends and making new ones (and ok a couple of personal projects).

Music wise, mainly electronic music - love most sorts of 'dance music' - but favourite genres are ambient, minimal and experimental music - Aphex, Tycho, Eno, Hessle, etc

Long time lurker, registered as were getting close now :)

I had a ticket got for me in the initial sale and we got one for my better half in the resale.

 

Both first timers. Im 31 and she is 26. Shes done a couple of festivals but i never have really. More into my open spaces in the hills.

 

Anyway were in CW with friends who've been many a time, pitching next to their camper. I have a suit. You WILL NOT be able to miss me.

Hi all. Was very lucky to get a coach ticket in the resale. This will be my first Glastonbury although I have been to a few smaller festivals including End of the Road, Green Man and Kendal. Attending with some Glastonbury veterans who I think are keen to show me the ropes! Excitement levels starting to ramp up now, so thought I'd sign up having lurked for a few weeks.

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. 

This was me last year, heading to Glastonbury knowing I had cancer and was delaying treatment to go. Lots of friends and well meaning dogooders suggested I wouldn't be able to enjoy the weekend with that hanging over me. How wrong they were. I had a brilliant weekend, despite the exhausting mud, and am now very excited to be heading back to Glastonbury this year, cancer free. Let's hope it's mud free too!

Hello! Long time lurker, signed up a while back but never posted - thought it's about time I did!! This will be my 3rd Glastonbury (2014 and 2016 being the others). I can't wait!!

I have these forums to thank for in helping me discover some of my now favourite artists. Without you I may never have discovered the wonders of the National, Arcade Fire, Sigur Rós, the War on Drugs, Beck, Radiohead and PSB (the good ones). In other words, THANK YOU!

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
