Four gas canisters?  Isn’t that a bit much, you’ve got me worried about only taking two !  

Those Summit 4 packs of gas are dirt cheap in B&M and The Range. Might as well get 4 rather than 2.

@Ayrshire Chris @marcwilson87 let’s have a look at your stoves. Basic mini-stove set up or something more elaborate?

£5.99 in the range.

 

My stove is at my mate. As basic as it comes. As you can see, I'll only be using it to cook beans every morning

I don’t usually bother with a stove but seeing as I’m not drinking much this year and will be up reasonably early I’m thinking I might. Beans with mini sausages.

I usually take something. Money is a bit tighter than usual this year, would rather what I have be used on a good lunch and dinner.

Also, sometimes I'm too rough to leave the tent without a bit of grub and a cuppa

A ten quid one ring job bought from go outdoors recently.  Bought 8 canisters as they were selling two packs of four buy one get one free!  Taking 2 canisters with me.  I now need to know if two will be enough.  Morning tea, beans and hot water to moisten a flannel for washing and freshening up.  Will Have had too much to drink to attempt cooking anything else at night.

I'm taking 4 to do the same as you. Take more than you think you'll need, although you can buy some there

it’s a sad fact that the older you get the bigger your piles get!

I wouldn't say. I hear there's a perfect spot for it down the front of the Pyramid stage for it  ?

My piles have developed so much I’ve had to move it from the conservatory couch to the spare bed. Last thing to be decided will be the clothing, that will be dependent on the weather prospects.  Beer will be purchased in England thanks to the ridiculous minimum price per unit of alcohol that was imposed on us up here by nanny sturgeon.

I finally have a pile. Way too many clothes I want to take but I have to make some critical decisions in the next few days!

If you haven't already look into getting some vacuum pack bags or sandwich bags and squeezing the air out when your clothes are in there! Worry about getting them back in after the festival :D

      Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!

      2027 Headliners

      By sisco · Posted

      I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift

      2027 Headliners

      By mufcok · Posted

      It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
