Still watching Coldplay  How were The Chemical brothers

They pushed buttons and twisted knobs and moved sliders.

Sounded good.

Great light show.

The crowd seemed to like it.

Doesn’t matter who ends the festival, whether it’s an act in the Avalon or Michael Eavis joining Coldplay on stage, it’s the moment when I realise that I might never be lucky enough to return and there’s a great sadness that descends on me.  That last wander about the site is a strange feeling, you can’t really explain it to anyone who hasn’t experienced it. 

I feel this at the end of every single glasto... but the reality is, if you want it bad enough, there is always a way. 
 

You might need to make sacrifices and change things up, but it’s always possible.

Kids got me up at 6.15 this morning. Another core part of the Glastonbury experience is the inconsiderate  bastards nearby who won’t let you get the sleep you need...

I like getting up early at G and getting my shit done (literally) and getting ready for the day while site snoozes and snores.

Quietly and considerately btw. 

Then have a tactical doze around midday.

Nail and head.

fully focus on 2021

I think I'm a long way from being able to do this. Until there's some sense that gigs can start again I can't let myself get excited. I can't deal with the pain again.

Inone respect I can’t wait for today to be over so that we can close the book on 2020 once and for all and fully focus on 2021.

Added stress of needing tickets first. This weekend has made me realise how badly I want to go! 🤞

One massive advantage to doing this at home.., The morning cup of tea is much better and you don’t have to queue for ages for it.

Mrs Semmtexx has just handed me a fresh brew. Lifesaver!

I need to get Mrs J one in October/April. She wasn’t going this year as Mini Jass II has just been born, but she’s bang up for 12 months from now.

Yep.

Confident we’ll be successful in the resale, but October feels a long way off!

Anyone at Coldplay 2011 vs 2016 have a preference? I was at the 2011 set and thoroughly enjoyed it, however the 2011 setlist included a lot more of the early stuff than 2016 which made it for me. I do love the visuals from the 2016 set though. 

I was at LCD Soundsystem in 2016 so have zero regrets.

Jump into the resale thread mate! Good luck. Bringing the mini Jasses? Mine woke me up at 6 this morning asking "are you asleep?" 

I was 😆

Hoping it's not misplaced optimism but there may well be a fair few tickets for October. I mean who knows but definitely fingers crossed. Thankfully most of my mates got tickets and although that'll hurt if no joy it does mean lots of helpers for the day. Please please please ticket gods!

We combine the first morning cuppa with using the excess water we heated to soak flannels thus giving us a hot face and body rub. 

Handy Glasto tip.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
