There is a lot to be said for the band taking the initiative with chattering w*nkers if the opportunity permits.

Several years ago, I was at The Academy in Manchester to see Richard Hawley.  I think it is fair to say that Richard is a bit of a crooner / legend and doesn't suffer fools.  His tunes need the crowd to listen. End of.

About three songs in, he stopped a few bars in to the tune and said to one particularly loud w*nker (near the front an all for some unfathomable reason) "hey mate.... yep you... you have been chatting since we started (takes a twenty quid note out of his pocket and offers it to the w*nker)... do me, the band and the rest of the crowd a favour and take this money that you spent on the ticket and fuck off to the pub where you can chat as much and as loudly as you like"

Crowd roared, point made and the chattering ceased.  It was so mint

Wouldn't normally say anything, but I was being ganged up on by one person. Had to be done.

No, I asked you a straight-forward question, and you responded like a dick. Then doubled down when somebody pointed that out. Nobody “ganged up” on anyone. 

If my question triggered you in some way, I apologise. I was just curious. Enjoy the festival, with your clipboard, raised eyebrows and silent judgements on the people around you.

I can't remember which account asked what question. But if it's any comfort, I'll only cast judgment on the real people at the festival. What time zone are you in, by the way? Because if you're both going to bed, it must be quite an niche timezone as far as Glasto is concerned. Even more niche for being at Glasto and happening to be on these forums...but here we are...👍

Excellent, haha. Love Hawley.

I was at the Wedgewood Rooms in 2008 or 2009 for a Laura Marling gig when everyone was talking over the support act. The guy stopped a song and laid into the chatters, telling them how disrespectful it was and they shut up.

John Murry also had a pop at some bloke in Brighton Komedia when I was there a good while ago and got him kicked out. I wish more people would do it.

Well one is in Aus I think but I ain't sure about the other one. Are you Actually trying to berate them for being on forum that you are also on?

Think you need to go to bed yourself and get out of it the other side in the morning.

Which I mean in the nicest possible way

    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
    • I left and went home, saw the Massive Attack update when I got in the door. Typical 💀
