It’s absolutely pissing it down in Taunton … hope it doesn’t get as far as you @deebeedoobee … a few year back on the night Michael Jackson died and the only year I’ve missed since 02 … we had horrendous thunderstorms here and the site stayed dry … Pilton does seem to have its own weather 🙂

Its piddling down here too 30 mins or so away from Pilton! Thos little rain clouds like to choose where they explode!

Thanks, The bbc weather looks ominous but I trust the Piltonian meteorologists more than the met office,  The Fukt meter seems more accurate than their super computer.  👍

Currently sat in the garden in the sun with a cup of tea. Just a little breezy

Looks like, from the BBC anyways, that it'd have been a rainy afternoon/evening at the festival today. Would still rather be there in rain than not at all though.

Currently pissing it down where I am. Looks like Pilton is getting away with it for now. BBC has partial rain there today although still predicting Thunder and rain for Monday morning.

So as the last bands are watched, the last hugs are given, it’s one last night before the long journey home. Memories made to last another year.

today would have been another perfect day weather wise. Overcast but warm. It threatened to drizzle around 4pm but it didn’t get going. Now we have a breeze and cloudy but bright skies.

whether it rains tonight matters not . Tents can be cleaned, wellies deployed and hair dried. 
 

one last task of the weekend………donate to Oxfam via @Superscally charity page. The man is less than 20 miles from Worthy farm…having run around 300km in 3 days…..let’s give him a virtual shoulder to lean on, the boost he needs to make it to Pilton…..you can do that here, it’s very simples:

Really doesnt bode well for next year does it?

2017 great, 2019 great, 2020 great, 2021 great. 

Law of averages and all......

Everyone should be really really worried about net year. Start panicking now is my advice.

what was 2018 like?

We don't need to worry, we have you to worry enough for all of us

I won’t sugar coat it…it’s wet. The fukt-ometer is showing 70ml of Rain overnight. The tracks are big puddles and most likely would have been mud if 200,000 people were trampling on them.

titty Buddha is miffed. Yeah his smile is still there but you can see it in his eyes, he’s seething. The P.I.S.S are in the deep end and it’s not looking good for them. They have manned the life rafts.

the well is damp but then that will take a few days of rainfall to show anything of worth.

But all this would have been worth it for 5 days of bliss. We will party again in the fields next year and it will be “the best year ever”.

I have a Scally to feed and set on his merry way, thankfully by motorised transport so until next time………

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
