Tartan_Glasto Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Glad to see we're in all this together folks. I've put in for a week off the week after next. Hoping that will help. Feel like I just need a reset to help get back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes at least we are saving money and have things planned for next year already. Fingers crossed for October. Although I was lucky enough to see some great gigs in February so I have had some great memories to look back on. Feels like a lifetime ago now though.

gigpusher Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 So currently reading Tony Walsh's book of poetry Sex & Love & Rock & Roll and I get to his poem Why Glastonbury and as I read it I start crying. God I am going to miss that place this year!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor the news at present. It feels like the world is on fire and normally you'd go to Glastonbury and have your faith in humanity restored for a little while. Here's the poem. I wish there was a way to bottle the Glastonbury spirit so that we could have that happiness and acceptance everywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelaureate Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Cheers @gigpusher - I hope (and this is even if I'm ticketless) Glastonbury goes ahead next year, it is much more than a festival, for many it's a safe place and mental sanctuary. I also, obviously, really, really hope I have tickets! Loving the new look @Big durbs, knocks years off you... 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tool is there for scale, it’s approx 1/50th of the real thing, I scaled down the actual measurements. Had to enlist my neighbour for help with calculating the angles 😂 This is the only way Skrewdriver will get close to headlining or even playing the festival. #FuckNaziPunks Next step is paint and a stage topper - I’m thinking Michael Eavis as the sun from Teletubbies. Posted this on FB a few days ago so should share here too: Here's my homage to Glastonbury this year. A purpose built one-up, two-down residence for our fabulous garden Blue Tits, complete with Dave Grohl on stage Can't wait for next spring to see if we get some families moving in for a rave! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 That gif can only have been created by someone who has tried to get Glastonbury tickets. Are there any other festivals in the world that are as difficult to get? I've never tried to get things like Coachella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutarsky Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Purchased in grey - preferred black but I usually wear black on my bottom ha;f and I don't want to look like I'm wearing a Glasto onesie do I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they had the designs ready but were able to stop printing in time as otherwise I am sure they would have tried to sell them. I for one told them that I would have been willing to buy them.

I want to try and attend WrestleMania one year but suspect that’ll be nigh on impossible to secure tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
