Pinhead Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Freedom for me too. No one from work, home, family wanting a little piece of me all day. I am master of my own destiny at Glasto and what an environment to master! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunMoon Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Glastonbury for me takes the things from everyday life that I need to stay sane and culls the rest of the sh!t. It gives me music, friendly like-minded folk, laughter, freedom and no judgement with regards to clothes, age, music tastes etc – it lets me be me. I don't have a ticket this year (yet!) and I'm going to miss my very selfish five days of freedom from an otherwise crazy and sometimes disturbing world.

Ayrshire Chris Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Entering through the gates on Wednesday is like dying and going to heaven, leaving on Monday is like someone has found a defibrillator and resuscitated you, returning you to your normal routine. But you will have so many incredible memories to sustain you until hopefully the following year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mud just seemed to fit that year. Gahd....you and me both :'-( What a bloody downer. James opening on Other played a blinder though, they just 'got' how everyone felt - really emotional set. When I say 'everyone', I mean everyone apart from the 3 middle-aged men camped near us, who were delighted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieGed Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 There’s something in the air for me at the place. Everyone’s on the same page for a few days out of the year regardless of profession or social status or background/heritage. Youre just walking around a huge farm turned festival intoxicated with alcohol and whichever other preferences you may choose to involve yourself in. Everyone’s spirits are high, everyone is there for the same reason. Its the sort of nothing segments that make it special for me. Being at Arcadia in the evening before the sun goes down, flags waving in the wind, everyone raving and fussing about their choice of headliners. Stone circle for the sun rise on the Monday morning whilst everyone’s seeing the festival come to an end, yet sad and a reality check, also an impeccable way for me to close out the festival with everyone you care about with their feet up just chatting about the previous 5 days. Discovering funky smaller stages and tents and having a good laugh and dance to Indian themed raves. Just walking around the site with close friends and family with not a care in the world, seeing some of the best artists in the world and finally feeling at ease for several days out of the year. The Glastonbury spirit for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamber Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Six months, or about 1% of my life, if you add it up, roughly. One in every hundred days I've been alive. *I have no ticket * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 The sight that absolutely summed it up for me remains the elderly couple sat in their deckchairs in the sunshine with a picnic, flask of tea, and a massive joint to share. And they looked happy as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfuhruhurr Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 It's the Wednesday & Thursday - being as daft as possible with friends - no schedule, meeting and chatting to loads of people. Drinking daft concoctions, seeing acts like Mik Artistik and being utterly and totally relaxed. On the main days it changes to be more like other festivals - music and after hours. By Saturday night I'm missing my other brain a lot and really wish she was there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
