There's something a bit horrible about being fucked in the SE Corner when/after the sun has come up. Doesn't feel right.

Sunrise is the business. Though is was more just becoming gradually lighter. There's something very special about being in the SE Corner as it becomes day again

There's a nice contrasting opinion form me and Untz

I was just going to say the same ..... (you're right though Mezzy-one!)

Dix points à Mez!

The 0300h-0600h shift in the SEC is one of my favourite things in the world. 

That feeling of community when the crowd is immersed as one in the music, in the dark, only then for dawn slowly to emerge until, gradually you can see properly all the lovely happy faces you've half seen in the lasers for the past three hours. Heaven.

You mean mangled faces and general depravity.

I saw both every day last year. There's something magical to me about the sunset slot, the ambience of it all usually feels like quite a moment for me. 

Sunrise I watched one up by the sign and partied through the other 2. I love walking back to my tent and there's always an eerie silence with dawn. I think I'd rather party through them though.

My first moment of recognition of how special a Glastonbury sunset can be was during Gomez in '99 on the other stage, where the band had to just stop and take note of how beautiful it was, deep and red, warm and comforting, a perfect moment.

I think the sunset last year on Saturday night though, that was about the best I've seen.  Glorious colours amongst the clouds that made the blues seem brighter and lined the clouds with gold.

I see every sunset (unless its raining :D) but i've only seen a few sunrises, last one was a last time it was sunny, so 2010 I guess? I desperatly tried to stay awake having been drinking solidly since 1PMish, strolled back to my van at about 4am with a warm can of beer and barely kept my eyes open as the sun crept over the hedges in E16, was brilliant, but I was shattered the next day :D

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
