As we’re in an even year you also need “are they showing the football?”

I think it's already been established the England games don't clash but possible Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland questions may abound (if they qualify, I have no idea).

[chazwwe]

My favourite couple of weeks here have to be the first week after ticket day discussing headliners (if ticket secured) and then the weeks of individual stage announcements, finding loads of small little bits that I'll inevitably fall in love with and then forget come festival time.

Also 2015 was my first proper time on here, insane times.

I have a soft spot for the food confirmations and I used to absolutely LOVE the post-Glastonbury redacted report thingy.

dont think the fancy dress thread has ever been a hot topic ....much as ive tried ... mostly it was me just talking to myself  

We could definitely do a revival of that thread closer to the time as long as you’re successful in the resales.

You’ll still get people asking if they can watch Finland v Latvia.

Coincidentally I've paid the rest of my volunteering deposit off today so that's my balance done.

I tried doing the BRIT night with Mrs Q on the sofa watching it with me last year.  Will go back to watching it solo this year, just felt a bit odd talking more to people online than my wife sat next to me

Yeah Mrs D was on night shift last year so I went all in and got twatted. Made for a great night of talking to myself and on here! The next morning when she came home to wake me up for work was quite a moment.

Still to look forward to:

I only hate one thing about Glasto, and it's the post-festival blues. Fuck me it's awful.

I was all out of upvotes 2 hrs ago, and now have some?  I have looked around and cannot find anything that tells you when your upvotes replenish, how many you get etc etc - can anyone explain?

I believe its 3 every 24 hours. So if you run out at 10pm, you wont have 3 until 10pm the next day.

I think its more nuanced than that, they regen 24hrs after you spend them (so if you only spend one at 10 pm and then the other 2 at 8 am you'll get one back at 10pm the next day to spend).

If you are a gold member you get 4 too I believe

Ah - okay thanks for that.  3 is a bit stingy given some of the excellent posts on here.

Thanks for the upvote by the way, and @Ayrshire Chris 😄

I would love to give you both one back, but then that would be me done for another 24 hrs 🤣

Ah, new map day is well up there.

It's like the room of requirement - the new map only ever drops when you most need it (i.e. a shitty day) and comes totally out of nowhere. 

Map day is second only to full line up drop day for me.

Sacrilege! There's no thread more exciting than Glastocam during the build. Fence Day is a highlight of the year.

The day they started painting the Radiohead logo was truly special.

Second only to the Foo Fighters Cheese & Grain thread and one man’s valiant (and successful) attempt to get into that gig.

I really don't get the love for the dropping of the map. Until they do something drastic like swap the truth stage with the pyramid it's rarely worth properly thinking about.

Madness. Finding all the little changes they make every year is brilliant. Just builds the anticipation for me. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Individual Area Announcements and Clashfinder are the highlights for me. 

Love the individual stage posters with this being my favourite so far. Looks fkn great, like it's its own mini festival

When you look at it like that, it really does hit home just how much there is going on across the site.  That would genuinely be a festival in its own right 😍

It really is - especially when you consider the ribbon tower, rabbit hole, bimble inn, crows nest and the art installation.

It's true of many Glastonbury areas though - Theatre & Circus, Kidzfield, SE Corner, Greenfields could all stand on their own as specialist individual festivals.

I always describe it as more of a collection of festivals.
