Majority of my t-shirts that I take aren't always band t shirts so I'll spare the details!

I do however like to announce a squad of around 16 in the initial long list and gradually cut this down over the coming weeks letting them down gently until releasing the final roster on the Tuesday of Glasto week.

This isn't just for t-shirts and apllies to jackets and jumpers also! Incredibly sad but keeps me sane during the build up.

 

Same here. I have a mix of old favourites that have been to each Glastonbury (only been since 2011, bit of a tradition, like drinking coffee from the eFest mug on T day), couple of band t shirts, Hawaiian shirts, an eFest number, and one with my avatar for a/the meet.  I'm not peaking too early, and will sort the exact running order out on the Monday/Tuesday beforehand. I've more important things to do, like shortlist cider varieties from 25 to 2-3.

I've got a collection of a least 100 t-shirts and unfortunately/fortunately due to massive weight loss they no longer fit so I will mainly be wearing boring generic t-shirts till I can build up my collection again, bugger :)

I went to T in the Park 20 years ago specifically to see Pulp,came home in a Radiohead t shirt and life was never the same again.  I wore it to my first Glasto ('03) and I think I'll maybe dig it out again this year.

I too went to t in the park 96 and came back a changed person. I genuinely had no idea that that many people loved radiohead and was frozen to the spot, mouth open for the entire set as a result. That set trumped them at Glasto 97 and 2003 in my opinion.  A truly glorious day. 

What t shirt did you buy that day?

Working on the recycling crew I tend to have a change of clothes for every day as can get pretty mucky/sweaty doing the work and will be there before gates open so need a few more t-shirts

Initial thoughts are:

  • Some old battered ones for work
  • Past Glastonbury t-shirts
  • Beautiful Days
  • Croissant Neuf Summer Party
  • Wedding Present
  • Pixies
  • Belle & Sebastian
  • Carter USM
  • Primal Scream
  • Depeche Mode
  • Space Ibiza
  • Back to Basics

The last one will probably be the only day specific one for when they are doing the Glade takeover on the Thursday

 

 

What Depeche Mode t shirt do you have? I can never find a good one.

edit - I have a quality Personal Jesus one. It is on it's last legs though.

A horrible one! :lol:  Seriously, I;'ve never liked it.  It was the only 'lady fit' one they had.  It might even be a rarity cos i can't find a Google image of it.  It's grey and has an outline of a head.

I feel like I need to up my tshirt game. My usual most-worn at festivals are a DFA-1979 one, who the fuck is Arcade Fire, and a nice Adventure Time mash up of Unknown Pleasures:

That needs posting on the Joy Division, New Order and Electronic facebook group. They would be absolutely outraged :rofl:

As a t-shirt obsessive, (a hugely enjoyable) part of my festival preparation ritual involves the annual process of deciding which of my t-shirts will make the squad for the summer tournament.

I usually start a thread like this to ask if like-minded casual attire junkies spend similar, somewhat trivial periods of time pondering over such minutiae.

So, here is the 2016 thread!

Share your t-shirt plans, crazy kids

:)

Ben

Well, we're now sorted for the efests meet...

I like to be current and up with the kids, but don't particularly like wearing t-shirts of bands I'm seeing - so I'm going for this. I'll be rocking the Pilton Palais.

If that's you wearing it, you're a mighty fine figure of a man. :)

Despite not fulfilling my very strict requirements for t-shirts, that is absolutely superb!

:)

Ben

Well, it might not quite fulfill your criteria for a t-shirt, but I bet you'd wear one! :) 

However, I think our spares really ought to go to the two who inspired it - @drchickenburger and @Nobody Interesting, don't you?

I bought this in homage to the great man, I ordered an XL but when It came, I tried it on it was skin tight. (I didn't realise it said 'made to fit' ) I'm not exactly muscley so it makes me look like I have a set of tits. They didn't do any other larger size so I kept it anyway for when I lose the beer belly. Might wear it underneath another top and get my moobs out during his screening. My other tees are generic summery ones.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
