Someone said they liked these random photos popping up and I agree..... So here are my useful photos of the two Tipi areas, in clockwise order, from the Ribbon Tower at 5am Thursday 2016.

I have no idea of the process when purchasing a tipi for the festival but would I be right in thinking you don't get an option of where said tipi is located?

Which means if they want to move them elsewhere tough cookies?

I've stayedin the tipi field before, your assigned a tipi when you arrive dont really get much say on where in the field it actually is, arriving as earlyas possibke and abit of persuasion would likely give you a better chance of being somewhere specific though.

I think Tipi Park is reserved for vips etc, and more likely what emily is referring to in the interview, its not thst big and coukd be easily accommodated elsewhere.

Yeah I have a feeling its the smaller tipi sections thats below the Glastonbury sign... which is practically in the Park area. This would match what she said about the Park getting some changes and something new.

The bigger tipi village at the bottom of the hill to worthy view is pretty massive and would be hard to move... plus its a beloved area I couldn't see them moving.

perhaps they'll shift the Rabbit Hole over a bit into the space vacated by the Tipis, so that's it's still on the corner with easy access to backstage? most of it is already off-limits to the public, so having that backstage stuff (eg. the yellow/blue marquee above) over a bit wouldn't make much of a difference? @ian the worm

then something new across the gap from the BBC studio?

 A nice reminder of the mud that year. A trip up the ribbon tower is a must for me this year (ticket gods depending).

Jesus, look how turned up it was before a note had been played on any of the main stages!

If it wasn't for the pristine grass infront of the stage, I would have said those photos were taken early hours of sunday/monday.

 

Not that I should let ground conditions/weather affect my enjoyment of the festival, but I am willing to make a deal with the devil to have similar conditions as '17 this year

God, 2016 was a fuckawful joyless experience, wasn’t it.

2017 completely restored my faith, though.

Somewhat ominously, the weather in Somerset over "Glastonbury weekend" in 2018 was perfect. Low 20s, fresh mornings, partially cloudy skies with lots of sunshine, warmish evenings, beautiful sunsets, absolutely no rain. Heaven knows what awaits us this year...

Blimey, shows what my memory is like. I remember it being really hot and thinking that it would have been murder down there in the heat. I live half hours drive away. Could have just convinced myself of that of course

It started to get hot - really hot - on the Monday.

Packing up would have been uncomfortable, and the weekend after would have been crazy, but (what would've been) the festival weekend was better than we've had in a very long time.

It was just a challenge. I felt that I missed out on so much due to practicalities of getting around a muddy site and being physically exhausted by Saturday, never mind sunday.

2017 was a breeze in comparison.

This is my only concern at the moment.  The last 2 years have had amazing weather over Glasto, I hope we hit the jackpot again!

I suppose low 20s is really hot for a lot of people tbf. For me, it was perfect and I had a major strop on all weekend ?

2016 was a proper experience, and looking back I'd say it was a 75% positive experience. 

Always a positive experience!

I'd take a torrential, boggy, physically challenging, disgusting mud fest over a fallow year every time.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
