Sounded good. Great light show. The crowd seemed to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) 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.

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.

Hugh Jass Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflekting Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited June 28, 2020 by reflekting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

zeppelin Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Did I read someone in this thread saying it's possible to look at the sets on iPlayer by year, rather than genre/category?
