Hi peeps long long time lurker. It's about time I joined up and either offered  Hopefully here for the long haul.

Been attending every year since 1994 bar 1. Only live 20 or so mins away and by my own admission I'm a little bit obsessed with the place.

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

Hello!!

i've been to the festival 6 years previously  ( not in a row ) . I  Have posted a few times here... great to be part of it though,and this really makes the whole experience more rounded and exciting !!

Hi, returning to Glastonbury after 12 years away - this time as a WBC volunteer. Hoping I'm not to old to enjoy working and playing. Getting loads of good info here, thanks all.

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

Yep I'm aware of the benchmark 

It's not a birthday suit but it's definitely socially unacceptable

I have no doubt in the world I will get demolished in this. 

I guarantee I make you smile though

Hello, always loved reading mad stuff on here but guess it's about time I got involved, be patient with m e please, I think I have 100 posts before. enduring russy wrath? 

[allthoseboywonders]

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.

Welcome newbies and lurkers alike. You're going to have a blast!

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!

Just started posting after lurking for a while - 4th Glasto for me, started going in 2014.

[stobyw]

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!
