without trying to forget those on here  with tickets ... its a tough balance 

Think most on here with tickets like us know the festival is about way more than who headlines the pyramid stage. Also, think some would be way happier with Kendrick and Taylor Swift as well.

I have to admit I was kind of hopeful ... but on a small scale ... I think I will probably be there ... but its the state of limbo im finding difficult ...thats part of the reason for the letter 

Also a long long wait until the resale and volunteering options open up.

Oh we're not talking about people who've gone loads of times before but more people who saw the sunny pictures from last year, heard it was the 50th and that Fleetwood Mac looked certain and Elton John were rumoured and said how about we do it just this once. I'm thinking if FM and EJ are replaced with some of the names that are currently being rumoured it won't look half as attractive to those people. Those of us who've been many times and don't live in the past music wise would be undeterred.

I’ve got a two year old grandson, his mum won’t let me take him to Glastonbury, not that I actually was desperate to take him but I really wanted to build one of those decorated illuminated carts kids are hauled around it and have an excuse to see basil brush . Aspects of glasto I havnt yet experienced!

A Glastonbury themed one could look incredible ....

No worries, I’m not offended in the slightest, just funny I suddenly realise that I’m that old , I don’t feel it lol

i agree about the sun drenched photos from this year ( don’t tell em there’s bugger al, shade and the tent is like a sweat pit from 9am ( I was sweating like Fred west watching ground force lol ) 

i did 2016 , when the mud and puddles were up to my nuts lol

I'm early 40's and have lots of friends that live in the 90's and just think all the Brit Pop acts should play permanently so there are groups of them in every age category. I go to gigs all the time and friends joke about how they've never even heard of the acts. It's like some people only listen to music as a teenager/early 20's and expect that all music should be as it was. They then say all modern music is crap. I see on so many forums about how Oasis and The Stone Roses would be the best headliners.

I took my two boys this year and I remember having a long conversation about how cool it would be if they built a trailer to pull me around in! Add a cider fridge and it sounds perfect!!

We like all sorts , I thought the set from Stormzy was awesome, and also discovered Elvana ( were seeing them next month in Bristol ) I just love finding the new bands in the smaller stages , it’s what makes a glasto, 

you cant plan a Glastonbury, it has to plan you as you go with the flow , that’s what makes it so magical:-)

Yes part of what I love about it is how much it has widened my horizons and broadened my musical tastes. Cut Capers were my find from last year. I love making playlists and listening to artists I wouldn't otherwise come across. Been to see so many smaller gigs off the back of Glastonbury discoveries and it means you are putting money into music at the ground level where it's needed. My next 2 smaller gigs are She Drew The Gun and BC Camplight.

Some friends of ours this year did a glasto truck for their 5 yr old , but also padded three sides and the base , makes a nice little sofa for the dads to sit and have a cider while the kids were playing lol

To be honest I am getting to the age where someone might have to build a glasto truck to haul me around the site.

When did Elton rule himself out? Is anyone trying tomorrow?

He hasn't completely been ruled out but is playing shows in America on Friday and Saturday so makes it unlikely he would a. do 3 shows in a row and b do that 3rd show in a different continent.

this afternoon ... and yes will be on here from 7.30 ... team effort might be in order 

[angelin]

Im in London. Im too old for Radio one but I will give it ago. Does anyone know how it will work? 

 

Im sure he could get his private jet to bring him back to the UK straight after. Its probably got a double bed in it.

Wasn't Elvana just brilliant ! Saw them on the Sunday night at Truth stage. What a way to end a festival, the whole place was rockin'

Phil Collins did the American and UK stages of Live Aid - OK, using Concorde, but still....

I’m probably being really stupid. Can someone explain how the resale spreadsheet works?  Do I need to team up with others on this site?

no you can sign up with just a 4 ... but its advantageous being a recognised poster and to team up with another member might get more help potentially

I've taken my three kids a few times, and it's a totally different take on Glasto - worth doing it just once - spent most if not all time in the non music areas, craft field, greenfield kids area, kidz field, circus tent + areas, cinema tent etc..

I did miss going out until early AM, since with the kids I was generally back in the tent for 11-12

For those taking the rickety carts with kids - I'm not a bit fan. no suspension

Basil brush was a bit of a let down last year

It’s great that kids can go, when mine were young, a long time ago, we dumped them with gran the two times we managed to go. We didn’t have a car, there  were kids there but not the facilities there is now. Basil brush is the Chris Martin of the kids field.
