I think you ought to watch your language. 

To the rest of you- welcome to the real world. The world where there is a pandemic and over 100,000 people were never, ever going to allowed to camp on top of each other and share rancid portaloos crawling with filth for 5 days in 2021, and actually probably not even in 2022 either. Now maybe you can give some thought to the NHS staff, bereaved families and those who have lost everything, rather than selfishly fantasising and festishising camping in a field and getting off your bollox to some music. Perhaps donate the money you would have spaffed on drugs on causes to help the aforementioned? 

Refers to himself as ‘Bad Man MC’.. proceeds to condemn drugs and shame us for for a small part of our lives we’re passionate about. 
 

I don’t know, but Good Guy MC may be a more suitable guise. Because you’ve really shown us our flaws.

If you don't have hope, you have nothing. 

Maybe Glastonbury being on represented the possibility of a return to normality and that is what people were hoping for.

Go be a knobhead somewhere else.

In 2022, I'm going to put my arms round strangers whilst we both sing at the top of our voices!

Or you are singing whilst they stare into the middle distance praying it will stop 😉

I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but....

You're welcome to your opinion, even tho it comes from your brain-dead idiot side.

Hoping a festival might go ahead is not not thinking about NHS staff or bereaved families, and the selfishness you're accusing others is rampant in yourself.

I guess forums like here is going to get a lot more of this now you've lost Parler. Ho-hum.

I'm going to be on this site just as much as I have been this whole year. Honestly I'd be kind of lost without it at this point.

This so much!!! 

I've said it loads over the past year, but honestly, with allll of the shit going on both with the covid & personal stuff, i dunno what i'd have done without all the lovely people on here.

Looks like we have another year of uncertainty with most things, but what you can cetainly guarantee is you can pop on here and be smiling by the time you log off 🙂 

Hope you're well lovely x

Stay positive, stay safe. Don't let the trolls win.

We'll be  back in  '22, and on fire.

Love the Farm.

[Hugh Jass]

I’m not actually that disappointed.

Think deep down I’d made my peace with the fact that it wasn’t gonna happen this year anyway.

Ah well, on to next year.

[Ozanne]

I admire the Eavii ability to make a strong decision like this and do it early so people know. It’s so tough but probably is the right call.

2022 will be amazing. 

[Padjeq]

At least we're still closer to the next one than the last one.

[DareToDibble]

I think we all knew it was likely to be cancelled but it still sucks to see it confirmed. 
I’m confident we’ll be able to enjoy a good summer this year even if it doesn’t involve festivals.  
IMAGINE how good 2022 is going to be 😀

Please can we do both Daddy?

Totally gutted, burst into tears when I heard the news. Currently ticketless but believed I would get there somehow. 
Praying we can all be together again next year.

I’m really glad they’ve made the announcement now nice and early and got it out the way. Like last year, I feel a kind of relief more than anything.

Things will probably be a whole lot better by June, but ultimately Glastonbury’s strength was always its weakness. They can afford to make this type of call so early, many festivals will have no choice but to try and make things happen at all costs.

I had a dream about ticket day the other day, one comforting thing is not having to deal with the that again now for the best part of two years!

Sending virtual hugs your way.

I went through my Glastonbury whatsapp chat and found the message that said we got our tickets. What a day 

[Hugh Jass]

Never imagined whilst watching the Cure that it’d be three years until we were back on the farm.

I guess the government told them to go spin in regards to underwriting any cancellation insurance. Fucking Tories! 😞

Glastonbury will be fine, worst case scenario would be crowdfunding rescuing it. But I worry what will happen to other festivals if they are forced to cancel for second year, many are less financially secure and don't have the millions of obsessive fans ready to bail them out.

Possibly. Many of its creative staff may have left for different or steadier employment by then however. I wonder what sort of festival it will be if / when it does return - maybe quite different from what has gone before in look and design.

[zero000]

Sad about this but not unexpected at all. 
 

The FAQs say the tickets will be rolled over to next year automatically and we don’t need to do anything. I’m being paranoid here, but did the same happen last year? My memory was is they were rolled over without you having to do anything.

your memory is correct.

[Stokesy10]

I'd planned to get very high and watch REM at Glasto on YouTube this Friday. I don't know whether that's a bad idea or not now. 😔

 

[paulshane]

Well, shit.

 

Not a huge surprise, but still a dissapointment.
