dmedxb Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi everyone - I was super curious about how many of us are coming from overseas for Glastonbury? Was very interested to see all the different countries we were visiting from... My wife and I are both from the UK (my first! her third) but we work out in Dubai. Flying over Saturday night, couple of days work in our UK offices on Mon/Tues then off to Glasto first thing Wednesday - can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01seb Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm coming from Australia for the 4th time (previously in 2013, 2015 & 2017). Leaving here on Saturday, and making Glasto the first part of a month long holiday, like I usually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Yes, I seem to have been very lucky! The three years I've attended have all been very good weather. I'm hoping the trend continues this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username taken Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Aye, coming over from Belfast via Dublin, which, although I’m coming from the UK, I am leaving the UK to get there, and I’m technically going over a sea to get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herzzreh Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Coming from NYC for 8th or so time. TBH, trip isn't that bad... it probably takes someone driving from northern Scotland longer or about the same to get there than it takes us.

Only negative is that you leave a good few days before the festival so the packing can be tough, particularly given the uncertainty around the weather right now!

tevaburger Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 another from NY...for my 9th. My usual ritual is a big London night out on the Wednesday with old friends before taking a midday train out on Thursday, so I do arrive on-site a bit 'late' and then fly back on Monday but the wife and kids put up with my quick absence and use of family funds in good understanding spirit (i think) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Our first one was in 1995 when we lived in Glasgow) Staying on for a couple of weeks and checking out Cornwall. Love the UK, even when BoJo becomes prime minister.

The ol' Weight vs Necessity conundrum... Coming from NYC here - my 8th exactly this conundrum; i'm fully packed at the moment, leaving in the morning and will spend a few days in London. I always pack light in terms of cloths and figure if I'm absolutely freezing I can buy something warm from the Oxfam shops on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
