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.

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

One of the very few places I've never seen anyone on.

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.

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

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.

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

not been there before ... so this year is going to be a year of firsts in my 14th festival  

[Badlands]

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.

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.

Top place, finish our festival there every year.

Hoping for Black Midi, Black Country New Road, Boy Azooga and other Heavenly/Speedy Wunderground goodness this year

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

I betcha there's a late night version of this happening this year...

2017. Confidence Man wont be doing the Crows Nest this year. Too big now and the secret's out.

King gizz was incredible there in 2017, got some fantastic rarities 

[priest17]

Aye, incredible scenes. Was lucky to get in, was a good job I was on my own.
