Is it there this year - it's one of my favourite spots!? 

 

I did a quick search - sorry if this has been asked elsewhere. 

People have had information about bands playing there so I assume so.

What am I missing?

Very intimate, fab views, crowd united in delight at having made it up that hill in one piece (not many can be arsed, especially of the weather’s bad). Stage is set for good vibes and surprise appearances.

Good vibes, good bands and if you need a break you can just come outside and chill out with one of the finest views in the world.

Am I right in thinking it past the rabbit hole on the right?

Sounds like I need to make the effort to check it out

Past the Rabbit Hole on the left. It’s pretty far up the hill so if you can’t see it just keep going.

The queue for the bar next to it was mental the last time I was in. Still, was completely buzzing after the Flaming Lips had blown us away and Lemon Twigs managed to keep us on a high. The place was rocking. Not particularly easy to see the band if you're at the back mind.

One of the few places I’ve yet to get to, I really mustn’t miss out this year...

what time does the music usually start?

4pm last time, right through to 2am I think. No booze on site, small audience area, and Tricketts bar nearby.

Which night shall we pencil in the 1AM Joe Goddard set for?

Guesting with Al Doyle 10pm-Late on Thursday I reckon! Al said he'd do that slot every year if he can, had to miss last time for LCD touring.

4pm every day after the Free University talks finish. GO here for past lineups and photos and such: http://www.twitter.com/crowsnestcrew

Yes, this is secretly one of the best places at Glastonbury. I was mostly on my own for the 2016 festival, was walking past and a nice feller had a chat with me, soon realised he helped run the stage. He showed me the lineup for the entire weekend (usually only revealed each morning), I noticed lots of Hot Chip side projects there, and mentioned I had a crush on Sarah Jones. He said "Oh yeah? She's my flatmate :)" He told me I should come up later for the Al Doyle DJ set. I did, thinking it was a midnight close, but it ended up going on til at least 2. The rest of Hot Chip turned up for a dance, and the good vibes were overflowing. It was unreal how much I enjoyed that night.

Yeah no drinks on sale usually, sometimes their own cocktails late at night though! :)

Never been to anything here before but it does sound very appealing. Is there any toilets up there or do you have to trek back down to the bottom of the hill? Unfortunately I do have to take this into consideration due to not having the strongest bladder 

There's usually an intricate drainpipe latrine running down the fence line down the hill if I remember right

There is, but I don't know about a portaloo for women. I think there's one but that could be a random false memory.

One of my favourite ever gigs was Gruff Rhys there in 2014, a lovely person made me a cup of tea as I watched gruff come in with a suitcase full of electrical equipment and set it up himself. Magical gig, wonderful place that feels a bit removed from the festival

    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
