2016 I was watching New Order at the Other Stage and me and my two mates were passing a wrap of mdma between each other when just as it got passed to me the guy stood next to us suddenly decided he wanted to dance and flung his arms out and knocked it out of my hand just as I was about to take a dab, my mate shone his phone on it straight away but it had already been eaten by the mud!

Oh no, nightmare. Out of interest how did that go down, did it cause any bother or did you just laugh it off?

I'd have probably toughed it out in fairness if I was solo.  I could just tell it had broken her.  No real regret in hindsight though, other than missing ELO. 

ELO looked and sounded abysmal. 

16 was great fun. Trick is to hit the booze after breakfast and keep moving. Looked at it again recently and think I saw close to 30 acts in 2016 all in. Barely rained during the day which is fine.

We just laughed it off...was nothing I could do about it.....I met one of my other mates afterwards at The Glade...he had been watching James Blake on West Holts and he sorted me out a bit!

Nice one 🙂 The power of MD, is it even possible to get annoyed? 🙈😂 (god I miss those days.)

Just looked back at the line up and think I saw about 9!  I'd forgotten that I was planning on seeing PJ Harvey, then Earth Wind & Fire on the Sunday.  I am a bit gutted now in hindsight.

I also don't remember 16 being that bad at all. Some funny moments from the mud if anything

(do appreciate though that mud is probably not so funny if you've got any kind of mobility issue)

I agree one of my favourite festivals, saw way more than in 2019 when it was so hot I basically sat in the spike for half of Saturday to get some shade then watch various rubbish on the other stage. To be fair Friday had been a big one and I may not have been much more active in a sensible temperature

Only 15 days to go. This is not good.

At least post the full report for Wednesday 22 june, it's literally two lines

"Wednesday 22 Jun - Wednesday 6 Jul
Lower confidence for this period. Perhaps a weak signal for above average rainfall at first, but rainfall and temperatures looking to be closer to normal as we head into July"

 

Weak attempt, you can do much better.

I posted the important bits.

More unsettled in the period up the the start of the festival and then above average rainfall at the start of the next period - which is Glasto week.

2011 was glorious compared to 2016. I’m still mentally scarred from the Saturday night at Shangri-La and the whole Sunday. Someone said the mud swallowed a wrap of MDMA in 2011, it swallowed my mates welly on the Saturday night in 2016!

2011 was grim in parts. Setting up the tent in the rain on Wednesday and then rain constantly from Friday afternooon to Saturday afternoon. 

The SE corner was unwalkable for most of the weekend. Never seen mud like it. Was freezing aswell for a lot of it.

2016 really didnt rain at all during the day apart from a bit here and there. On Sunday mainly I think.

Tell me I'm not going to doing a mudfest with a fractured knee cap please?!  Literally just found out (did the injury 10 days ago, just had x-ray) and I'd like all you lovely people to tell me it's going to be warm but not hot and dry, please😉

It’s going to be warm but not hot and dry

      Wise words overall   The comment on "had it's day" is purely from an underground perspective - DnB is now firmly in the mainstream   I think the fear, as evidenced so far is that the areas are chasing the latest trending sound at the moment rather than being leaders (rather than followers) and catering to the eclectic genres that are available.   Else what will happen - assuming DnB becomes overexposed and goes back to being a more niche genre (as is the circle of life for Electronic genres) is in 3-4 years time, the type of artists playing at Glade will be completely different due to this chasing.   I'm still feeling postive overall, I just haven't been wowed by the lineup so far (again from a purely selfish perspective).

      I agree. They always need counter programming for the most popular acts so that’s where you favourite bands will play (the most painful clash you can think of it’s the one that will just happen)

      Days till Glastonbury 2024

      I was going to post similar thoughts, but you've been far too articulate, so I'll keep it brief!   Many/most of us in this thread are very invested in the scene and dance music is in our souls. Glastonbury isn't a dance festival, but  it is the world's biggest greenfields festival. As such, the opportunity for any of the areas to remain niche or different becomes more challenged year on year. The explosion in festival popularity in the past 15-20 years has inevitably resulted in curators gravitating towards more 'accessible' or well-known acts who, by their very nature, tend to be less 'interesting' to some of us in here. It just seems a shame that The Glade really didn't feel able to continue to book literally 2 or 3 DJs (psytrance) who offer a genre heard nowhere else on site. It's hardly compromising their ability to get good crowds for their acts...and those evenings were really well attended too!   I'd say that, dance-wise, it's only really Block9 that conspicuously demonstrate an identifiable ethos in their bookings, though Silver Hayes' rebirth has been very exciting too. It's all good and, as others have said, will likely spread people around a bit more, allowing for more space to dance for everyone. Which is what we're all there for.   Can't wait for those there dance area drops now.   Ben x
