verrymerry Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Its popularity gets knocked but I had a really good evening in the Piano Bar a couple of years ago, we came across it by chance and it was bizarre but brilliant. Slightly disappointed to hear that people queue to get in, I guess most people know where it is now, which takes away some of the fun! They should find a new location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very promising! The Chameleon is just on the left as you walk towards the exit of the market area going towards the Pyramid. More or less opposite where the Yeo Valley stall is.

There've been a few threads about anxiety, and there do seem to be a fair few posters affected. What we need is some comfy sofas around a roaring campfire, some music that's good to dance to, but not so loud that you can't hear yourself think, and a bunch of people who understand each other. Sounds like a plan, actually! Strummerville. Exactly this. Plus hard drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AssedMonkey Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 To be fair, I think most of he larger bars and some of the smaller ones remain open until 2 or 3am. The music is incredibly varied but some do stick to themes. Chameleon is known for Indie/Britpop really, Bimble in the Park plays all sorts but has lots of live folk music. Beat Hotel is more dance music but often the less "hard" stuff. Let's not forget the silent discos either. Had some absolute screams in there till the wee hours.

I think they won themselves a lot of fans who hadn't seen them before that day. It went from a crap start to a fantastic one for me. I'd planned to get there for the special guests before them (this was before I had a decent phone with twitter etc, so I really didn't know who it might be), woke up and checked my watch, but misread it and thought I had time for a doze. Woke again and realised we were going to miss the first act. Was not happy! But we got ready and headed over anyway for The Hives. Asked someone about the guests and was told it was Beady Eye, and a big grin spread across my face. I'd had an extra hour's sleep, hadn't had to listen to Beady Eye, and got there just in time for The Hives, who were fantastic! Win, win, and another win!

sassy2012 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Pretty much all of the bars have live music or dj on till 3am ish. Williams green bar play a lot of chart stuff, lots of singing along with hands in the air etc. The Avalon Inn usually have a band playing jazz/folk/blues type stuff. There is loads of stuff going on outside the SE corner/Arcadia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCor Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 The guys from Propaganda usually have late nights all throughout the weekend until about 3am. Pretty sure they ran Cameleon last year. So if you're after an indie all-nighter, find them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glastoboy Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Basically, if you avoid the SE corner, Dance Village and Arcadia it is easy to find some non-dance-related fun. Just keep strolling around until you find what you're looking for. Edited May 2, 2016 by Glastoboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonic Prospector Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 One of my favourite things to see each year is the Wheel Of Four Tunes drawing people away from their trudge towards the SE corner entrance just by their sheer enthusiasm and party atmosphere they are able to generate. Seeing their crowd grow steadily as people lose it to every genre of music you can imagine is always a great Glasto moment. Their song choices for each genre are always inspired and there is almost an anarchic sense of unpredictability about each set they play. Their crowd banter and the ability to hold a crowd in the palm of their hands as they jump from Rock, Cheese, Hip-Hop, Ska, 60s, Dubstep, Power Ballads, etc. and not have anyone drift away is one of the reasons why our group and many others go back year after year.
