Barney McGrew Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Right, this thread is positive, it's an attempt to find a glimmer of light in the dark. Regardless of anything else potentially the festival will not happen in its normal guise this year but all is not necessarily lost, if we can't go to Glastonbury maybe Glastonbury could come to us! Inspired by the balcony parties in Italy - Three days of music and madness, curated by the festival, and/or the attendees, or maybe the artists... streamed to our front rooms/gardens/sheds/man caves/woman caves, thousands of micro festivals, sharing the love, maybe raising some funds for charities. This summer is looking like a potential shit sandwich but it would be awesome to have a time and a place, maybe the Eavii could party too, proper inclusive! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've got a garden then show us your tents and stages... were all connected so easily now, it'd be awesome to see so many people in the same mind space even if their locale was the other side of the world! It could be beautiful. Edited March 15, 2020 by Barney McGrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_man_joe Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Gaz Brookfield did a live streamed Facebook gig today. A whole host of the line-up could do that. Then I'll order in some decent festival food from Deliveroo, crack open a few Thatchers Golds and pass out on the floor later on. Let's do it.

Even if it wasn't live, there's gotta be a fair old archive of previous sets, put 'em to the vote, 50p donation to charity maybe (the NHS workers would be my preferred cause), maybe Firiday fans night, Saturday Eavis night, Sunday artists pick?

In fact I may not use the gate when entering my own garden. Case the joint first. Couple of shifty eye movements and over the fence. Then I shall spend the weekend in my garden looking very smug, albeit with long sleeves at all times. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
