Weren’t they planning to show Adele’s full set? That could be the option for 10pm BBC2 on the Saturday.

(No chance it’s going out pre-watershed)

Called it.

I was really excited for this, but I actually think seeing the line up is making things worse. 
 

Gutting we won’t be there.
 

Fuck me this year is a total bag of dicks.

Yeah agreed on the bag of dicks thing. It's like half the year has been totally pissed up the wall. I didn't even have a ticket and I feel pretty sad about the whole thing.

It's really odd but the fact that it's raining even makes me feel a bit sad that I'm not panicking about next week as a result.

I'm still going to watch some but yeah I don't know how much I'll manage.

Sorry. 😐

I shed a tear ...just as I was told it was emotional ... 

[Gilgamesh69]

It's sad but... also reminds me of how special Glastonbury is, and how amazing it'll feel to finally be back ❤️

Don't be sorry! Twas cathartic. Just don't know when I'll ever be back and I love it so much. Also just made me remember a whole side of my life that is completely on hold.

Yep. I'm having to switch up my mindset for next week... less sadness about not being there this year, more gratitude that we are the lucky ones, to ever have been.

We can watch as much or as little of the footage that's on next week, but it holds no bearing on the very real memories and experiences we have of the place ❤

Exactly ☺️

Better to see it as a celebration of what's come before, rather than a replacement for what we've "lost" this year.  To me it's not just about the festival either, but all the other experiences had because of it. All the friendships made, music discovered, even the many hours spent on this site 😄.

 

It's hard to imagine what my life would be like if I had never been, but it would no doubt be far less exciting and there would be a lot of wonderful people that I'd have never met❤️

 

Besides, I haven't been since 2017 so I'm sure I can handle yet another year of waiting...

Me either! And I already missed my favourite band of all time headlining last year (and I'm totally over it, it's totally fine 🙃) so really, this shouldn't be any harder than 2019 😅

The Cure?

They're my all time favourite too so I was heartbroken about missing them. Seen them three times now, including at another fest the week after which was an amazing night... but it wasn't Glastonbury. Made even worse by all the people talking about how amazing it was and how it'll go down in history as one of the best headline sets.😭

 

 But who knows,  maybe in 15~ years we'll get Bob doing the legend slot 😂

I reckon they'll be back

Oh that video.

Man down here. Fuck you 2020. Fuuuuuck you.

[parsonjack]

Having to keep reminding myself that however painful the loss of the festival this year is, it's nothing compared to the loss of a loved one.

We can have fun, but however you plan to mark next weekend, take a moment out to think of the 42,000.

😥

 

[Ryan1984]

Good point, parsonjack.

I’m finding hope in the fact that next year‘s Festival (once we are hopefully through this) is going to be twice as special.

[reflekting]

Thing I loved about that video is that I've been having an amazing time doing stuff that doesn't make it's way to the BBC highlights reel. I just had a really intense flashback to being in the middle of the Chems crowd from last year.
