It was VERY sweaty in there last night.

Heard lots of people saying they had "lost their phone" at points. Sadly, knowing the well-earned reputation of Ally Pally at such gigs, I'm pretty confident those phones are down someone's trouser leg.

Can you forecast what the temperature was in the Foals gig?

It was up there with the sweatiest gigs I’ve been to. Ally Pally is always hot and I never learn my lesson. Even in winter shorts there

I was wearing a fucking suit and tie - like one of those whopper hipsters at an LCD gig. Had been at Ascot all day and the free bar persuaded me to go to Foals on the hoof. Really glad I didn't stack it in that pit/circle thing during two steps twice.

Ascot. On the hoof. Like it.

It was a spur of the moment decision (can't believe how many times I've tried/failed to get the Foals puns going in this thread!).

I've noticed. You've said them so often you must be getting a little hoarse now.

Also just dropping in to say how good last night was, probably the best I've seen them. We'd wangled some backstage as well so got to see the band afterwards too. Didn't think to ask about Glasto, just a handshake with Yannis and said how much I enjoyed the night!

This is getting out of control, people need to rein it in, but maybe I am blinkered in my view.

My boyfriend is sporting a fat lip from the mini pit that was created behind the sound desk ?

That’s The info Neil had on here, seems to be the afternoon park slot

Not just neil. I had some info from a friend it was 100% foals 6.15pm...  I was a little dubious about it but as times gone on and dutty Paul is the JP headliner... I think it's legit. Will be fucking awesome if its legit! See if they can get the whole glasto hill involved like elbow did

My last experience of a saturday park TBA was Biffy Clyro ( who I don;t really mind) but they'd given out loads of flags so it was busy and I didn't really get anything from it. Will this be good?

Hmmmmmm, could go either way IMO. Foals are extremely good live - but part of the Friday night gig was the lights and screens. Also, they have been a bit hit and miss at Glastonbury before: 2013 (in the dark), hit; 2016 (in the light) a miss for many.

Also, if you're not near the front in the park, it can be hard to see anything (have they added screens now?).

If your clash-finder allows you to get there for the band before (who a lot of people here are raving about), then head over then. If you get there later and are about three miles away, you may be better off trotting down the hill to Johnny Marr instead.

Thanks. I really enjoyed the 2016 set to be honest so maybe my threshold for foals enjoyment is lower than most. Maybe that set just caught me in a good moment. Either way I'll probably end up at least trying to get to this. And as you say, Marr is hardly a bad back up option.

    • 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.
