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

    • See them in these small venues now while you can.   
    • good move - got to start saying No to these prices or nothing will change 
    • Are there any shaded areas to take a break from the strong sun? Yes, i think there is some.    Theres loads of trees on the island where you can find shade… They have already erected a few domes in the Island but whether they will be cooler or green houses is as yet unknown 🙃…..weather forecast isn’t too hot currently….im more worried its gonna rain at this moment.
    • I Paid £30 for the lightning Seeds a year or so ago   so. the value for money on this is incredible 
    • Never too early to start discussing next year’s headliners right?   I’m not attending this year so thought I’d get the ball rolling as I saw Weezer have a new album out in August I’d expect them to do this or Slam Dunk next year. I mean they’re probably too big for this however I think they’re niche enough that they would maybe do it, it just depends on if the fee is a bit out of range for trees.    It’ll be the 20th anniversary next year so I’d expect some throwbacks and hopefully some big headliners/acts. James has already said he’s made a mad booking that you wouldn’t guess & I think he mentioned that he’s spent something like 80% of this years budget of next years top line already on last weeks 2 promoters 1 pod (Don’t quote me on that).    I reckon they’ll try for and get at least two (not all) of the following - Enter Shikari, AFI, Weezer, Sex Pistols Feat Frank Carter, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls
