Bit of a bottle neck just now just past West holts by the bridge as they were removing a giant bees nest from one of the trees.... Random lol 

Poor bees

It's almost impossible to get near the monorail this year

[Hugh Jass]

Seems to be far fewer dickheads about this year.

Which is nice.

How is everyone finding it today now music has started?? Looks super busy at Pyramid

[kalifire]

Managed to easily get a great position for Sheryl Crow. Like always, it’s much easier to mingle through than it looks. Going to get in early for Lauryn Hill though.

Today and tomorrow you will have people standing around the Pyramid, by Sunday, people just bring a chair or blanket and collapse there for the day, always much harder to walk around the Pyramid Sunday especially with a Sunday legend and people warming up to go home some right after the Cure finish.

Hubby and I remarked it seems busier to us, main stages v busy for early acts, was packed for Bastille on the pyramid and we noticed the tents have been pushed back from the track at the top to allow extra viewing space. 

Fairly chilled at West holts just now though.

I wish you would all stop moaning about how bus it is! I can tell you its not at all busy here where l am  sitting -AT HOME!

You are a GLASTO ! Be grateful that you are having to queue ! x

Everybody I've come across has been a delight, instantly got along with our tent neighbours, everybody is in a lovely mood so far ?

[sedra]

It’s been really busy as it has the last few years but I think it’s because they have upped the numbers of staff, traders, performers, volunteers etc. Having said that if you really want to see something you have get there super early- we just had front row barrier spots at Frank Turner at Avalon ( which was rammed) by going in at end of Morcheeba, and staying through The Magic  numbers ! Frank was great as usual though I am sorry I missed Stormzy as i heard it was great. 

[bombfrog]

Nope. Seems about the same.

 

[Rubber Soldier]

Definitely feels busier this year. Been caught in a couple of near crushes. The weather’s obviously pushing everyone out their tents. 

[Acid Loafers]

Spoken to a handful of people and Weds/Thurs definitely felt busier

Today (Friday) it's gotten better. 

I do feel as though the fallow year and good weather forecast helped more people make the choice to arrive earlier than they usually would have.

Break it to us at home a little more gently, why don't you?

Well you know what they say about correlation and causation...

Other thing I observed to Mrs Jass as we were sat up in the Park last night... I haven’t heard a single hiss of a nitrous canister so far.

Again agreed. Maybe it’s not fashionable any more?

Or the kids have started taking proper drugs?

[Crazyfool01]

Strange ... was just thinking some of the acts on main stages seemed quieter ... amazing how subjective our opinions can be

I've been working recycling centre and there are still a fair few coming through. 

[pie_and_a_pint]

I’ve litterpicked significantly fewer nos canisters. About 98% of those we found were from the Beat fucking Hotel.

Watching on telly it seemed like there weren't any massive crowds and the atmosphere was a lot quieter than usual. I know it always looks worse on tv, but the crowds just look flat to me.

Can't help but feel like people were pacing themselves with the weather so they could go big in the evening.

This Kylie crowd has got to be up there with the biggest ever, it's fucking enormous!
