Must Do's

[Deaco85]

Hey. Was wondering what you think are some must dos/finds to get the most out of Glasto? For example:

Ribbon Tower

Underground Piano Bar

Cider Bus

Glastonbury Sign

 

[Joshuwarr]

I think a big night in the SE Corner at least once is a must (if that's your kinda thing, of course)

[maelzoid]

Hard agree about SE corner even if it isn’t your thing. It is absolutely one of the things that distinguish Glastonbury from all other festivals and the scenery / art instillations are sublime.

don’t rate the ribbon tower tbh. The view is just as good from the sign, and no queuing. That spot is my favourite place at the fest.

I wouldn’t  recommend anything too specific, but try and see at least one act at each major stage. It’s all about the variety.

Still never managed this and I have been going since 2010. Got close one year on a Saturday night headed up there early. Ended up wrecked in a dub reggae gaff en route and forgot about the time. Seen the queue and spewed it.

Try not to do it all. It's impossible 

 

[Deaco85]

What's this Rabbit Hole thing about too?

[maelzoid]

Well actually getting wrecked at a dub reggae gaff en route is also highly advised.

That’s the thing, the best stuff is usually something unplanned and stumbled upon.

Explore. Create your own experiences. Ignore everyone's suggestions.

Not sure it gets mentioned a lot but one of my favourite things is try and see at least one band post-headliner at the crows nest .

Best views of the site and plenty of space to chill if needed.

Explain like I'm 5: how do I know whether the SE corner is "for me"?

1) smile A LOT

2) talk to people A LOT

3)dance A LOT

4)explore A LOT

5) take absolutely everything home with you

Do you like MDMA?

Had a feeling this might be the answer! I'm off to Shangri-La.

Ok, after 11pm the SE corner is very busy, very loud, very extreme in every way possible.  If thats not your thing, dont go.  I prefer it on a sunday night tbh, or during the day.  But I've done the sat night thing there a few times and just find it overwhelming these days.

People say don’t queue for anything at Glastonbury, but if you can commit an hour+ to it then NYC Downlow is certainly an experience. 

[Earth_pig]

Wander the green fields (just wandering in general) the place is huge who knows what you will stumble upon.

[Deaco85]

Keep it coming guys! Been twice before, can't wait for this year. I remember going to some club called heaven  or something and you had to prove you're good or something to get in, was a good experience. Shangri la area is something else. I know exploring is the main thing to do, but be good to know few cool things to hopefully stumble apon.

Apparently you've got to walk past the site of the old Beat Hotel, stop and dab for five seconds to pay your respects.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just watched Avengers Endgame and the Hulk started dabbing. This movie should be banned.

[Slugworth]

I must get into NYC Downlow, followed by a Burger Bear burger

Pay no attention to this

My mum makes these special brownies which she sells over in the healing fields somewhere on the Wednesday, I’d highly recommend! 

[Crazyfool01]

make friends with your neighbours ..... 

[Punksnotdead]

Go where the mood takes you. Everywhere at Glasto is great, you'll almost certainly have an amazing time. If you find yourself somewhere where you're not feeling it, move on - there's something incredible happening just around the corner!

[the wonderwhy]

Go and see Foals.
