So pilton is predicted from tomorrow evening what could be 24 hours of heavy rain - now surely with all the site and ground saturated - would the car parks not be a health and safety nightmare - you can bet that some one will be monitoring this from the powers that be

Not much chance of the festival being cancelled imo the purple car park is currently totally closed but they are hoping that will be open by tomorrow or Monday all the other car parks are OK to my knowledge. As for inside the festival it's nothing to worry about

I'm not saying the festival is cancelled but if the car parks become water logged this will like it or not cause serious issues 

It's a farm, I'm more than happy for a tractor to pull me in.

Then why not at leat put a question mark in the thread title? [see it's dead easy]

 

in terms of waterlogged car parks it may cause some issues but the whole GFL crew have a lot of experience in dealing with muddy festivals and the main access routes into car parks all have metal trackways laid.

Of course they have tracks but you have to drive of the tracks to park - one of the issues with rain at Glastonbury is that the ground is clay so it doesn't drain as fast - I'm not all doom and gloom but this could become a real problem

You only have to drive off the track for perhaps the last 20-50 meters to get to the parking space and given the way they park the cars your really diving directly in the path of the car infront so it's not as much of and issues.

 

But if the car parks are muddy  remember low gear & low revs.

No problem what so ever, Glastonbury isnt a local village fete buddy.

Metal tracks get you to the field, once in, cars dont aimlessly drive around they drive on the same patch of grass once, different everytime. Then parked and thats that.

Be absolutely fine. The track on site will no doubt be ruined because of the constant use by 4x4s, HGVs and tractors but we r used to this.

    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
    • Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
    • Glad I could take the €3 bus to Playa Catalunya! Hope y'all warm and dry up.
    • Taxi mafia running their usual scam.
