Long time lurker, first time poster. 2017 will be my 2nd Glastonbury and cannot wait. First time was 2011 the year U2 and QOTSA played. Been reading everyone's posts and bought a tent after recommendations posted here. In total there's about 12 of us travelling over from Ireland.

Music addict from the Netherlands over here! Long time lurker, but trying to get more active on the forums and experience the real glasto spirit. 2017 will be my third Glastonbury, have been there in 2014 and 2015, had to miss out on the 2016 edition and really can not wait until next week!

Hello!

I have been lurcking around these forums for about 7 or 8 years (maybe more), used to have a login and very occasionally contributed very unintresting posts. Been to most the big UK festivals, and I am finally doing Glasto this year (2017)!

Rejoined becuase I am overly excited about Glasto and I am currently avoiding some work I am meant to be doing.

Thanks!
Nelson

Like @deepkittycaz I'm a first timer at the ripe old age of 42.

I was was worried about how I'd do, as I'm not good with crowds. So I'm very glad to report that I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Granted I had it on easy mode compared to previous years... but it was just what I needed to get me hooked.

Hope to be back in 2019!

Hi everyone . Newbie here on the forums , but a veteran of many festivals and events . I've been to Glasto 6 times over the course of 20 odd years as a performer , attendee and event professional. Still my favourite festival ever to work or to visit and one of the few events these days that still gets the butterflies really going . Best moment undoubtedly was seeing Rage Against The Machine in 94 .

oh .. if anyone finds the keys for a 1991 Ford Escort opposite the Pyramid stage .....then you're a better man than I was that dark rainy night lol

Hey Neil time to pay for gold. Does it do it itself cos tried to add to kart and says I've got it.. Cheers. G

it pays for itself if you've got a payment subscription set-up. The easiest way to find out is to let it run and see what happens.

(I've recently changed a setting so that it's not possible for anyone to buy it twice, as allowing that caused a few issues).

    • 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.
