Hello

I've been a long time lurker on this forum for a couple of years now.  I've posted a handful of times but never formally introduced myself (bit rude of me - sorry).  So..um...hello.

2022 is the my first time at GF  and I'm so excited it's making me nervous. I'm going with my wife and two (thankfully, adult) children. I've been obsessed with the festival for years but not had the chance to go due to growing kids/time/money/usual stuff.  Finally life (and luck with tickets) is on my side.

Been great reading all the useful info on this thread and finding some tips on new music too.   Thanks for all the good stuff 🙂

Hi everyone,

Also been lurking since a while. This message board is a good source for figuring out things regarding the festival. 

I am from the Netherlands, and will be going to Glasto this year for the second time. As my buddy had to cancel due to his back problems unfortunately, it turns out I am going alone this year. I figure it would be fun to meet other people going alone as well.

Also, I am looking someone to share a taxi ride with I have booked:

Hi all,

This will be my fifth Glastonbury. Lurked on the forum a bit in 2019 (mostly nervously checking out the weather thread!) & using it quite a bit more so far this time around.

Just commented for the first time & thought it rude not to introduce myself here. Can't wait for next week!

Hi Rik. I think there's a solo goers meet-up that's been mentioned but I have no info about it. This is also my second Glasto after 2019 and going solo this year. I'll keep an eye out for that post and I'll let you know.

5 time IOW / 2 time Bestival / 2 time Glasto / 2 time Boomtown

Heading over on the coach from Southampton (1pm inbound, 6am Monday morning outbound 😲)

Will  be my partners first Glasto, we're camping with her family near JP and a friend of mine runs Strummerville.

If you see a bearded guy wearing Merrell walking boots with this STUSSY hat it's most likely me.

Hello. 

 

2022 will be my 19th Glastonbury Festival and my first ever NOT as a punter... I'm stewarding with Oxfam. Totally up for it and excited to experience it in a new way... and to be on site for a couple of days before the public arrive. 

Just hope my shifts don't clash with Kendrick, Four Tet or Phoebe Bridgers! 

:-)

Hey pals!

I hope you’re all nearly packed and sorted for the festival. If you see my flag come and say hi and I’ll have a little gift for you. 
I had so many lovely folk from this forum and Twitter come up to me in 2019 and I’m so excited to see all those happy faces again next week!

Hello

Been lurking for a couple of weeks, but seeing as it all starts this week, I thought I should jump in. This is my first ever Glastonbury, despite being in my mid-40s. I'm going with my partner who has been a few times, although not for a good 15 years or so. Just been bingeing on the electronica thread, which is moving the whole nerv-cited (TM my daughter) feeling towards the excited end of the spectrum.

Hello, I’m just popping in to introduce myself. I’ve been to Glastonbury many a time, but I’m not going this year. So I thought I’d make a new a/c having forgotten all the details of the old one, brain function being what it is lol and come and see how everyone is 🥰 and what the talk is about ! I like the web cam, so I will be checking that and dropping into the different chats there are to see how it’s going for everyone. 🥰 Hope those that are there have a super amazing time and those that aren’t don’t drown their sorrows too deeply! Over and out! 😊

I've been reading this forum for a while but only just got round to registering. I didn't manage to get tickets this year, which I convinced myself was fine as most of my group of friends weren't going either. Now the time has arrived I'm really frustrated at not being there, particularly as the weather looks good. I plan to watch as much as I can on the BBC and looking forward to getting a clear view of the stage without having to peer over or around someone's shoulder/ sunhat/ child/ and flag.

    • Interesting to read. It's mostly why we stopped going a few years back even though it's the nearest big festival to home. The post-exams timing and location makes it a rites of passage first festival for people in a big area. Understandably that leads to a bit of giddiness. Think lineup would need to be a lot more my cup of tea to be enticed back. Friends who are there are having a good time tho and no rain is a good thing for up there.
    • I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.

    • Knocked Loose have been announced for Wacken, that's them at Bloodstock as well   I think they'd headline over Malev 
    • I hate tradmill running with a passion lol. Yeah the 1km reps are the one along with hill reps. That's what I did last time.  It's very a very hot summer and job circumstances to stay at the consistent level I was for the marathon earlier in the year. I've got a full set of the main distance new PBs this year. 10k isn't a problem most days but even today I went out deciding just over 5 mile was enough between recovery cruise and steady.
