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...

[Hugh Jass]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Currently watching Lizzo. Quite sad really, the last sight of my favourite stage at Glastonbury before she tore the arse off it.

Yep.

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

Really guys? Couldn't you have saved that sentiment until this time tomorrow .

Save it? I’ve only started😉

 

[reflekting]

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 have to drive home tomorrow morning. We can focus on 2021 on Tuesday.

Did I read someone in this thread saying it's possible to look at the sets on iPlayer by year, rather than genre/category?

Edit: I found it but not really what I was hoping for. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/rq49mb/series)

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.

Watching Mark Ronson back from 2015. Remember it was great fun and haven’t seen it back before. A stack of guests.

Was good fun and loved Boy George coming on
