Another one the wife remembered……

At The Pyramid a couple were sitting down on an inflatable sofa watching Elbow, when two young lads stood in front of them and blocked their view.

Couple sat down : “Excuse me could you move, you’re blocking our view?”

Lads : “No, this is Glastonbury not DFS!”

Fleetmac Wood were.

My overseen rather than overheard was one of the aforementioned chair c**ts sitting in the middle of the Diana ross crowd, with people packed around him, and his phone out watching the bbc2 coverage of... Diana Ross

Some people don’t deserve their ticket!

Not so much a word for word conversation but I overheard a steward talking to someone about a live tortoise being handed into one of the gates that she was on duty at and what they might do about this situation!

At TLC by what should be the path. A lad in his 20s walks along and says to me as we make eye contact, "god this crowd is really a lot. I am feeling really panicked". I was in the middle of agreeing and checking he was alright when this woman turned around and went:

"Well if you feel like that, maybe Glastonbury isn't for you?"

As she is saying this really spiteful thing, a drunk lad stumbles and spills his pint on her. She's like "omg you SPILT YOUR PINT".

Another guy goes, "maybe Glastonbury isn't for you".

Glorious!

I was at the gate c lock up on Friday afternoon, having just met my wife who’d arrived on site at the same time as two 18-year-old lads who’d done their final a-level exam that morning. They met up with their parents at the gate. We were behind them in the queue as they checked in 2 crates and then started getting their challenge 21 wristbands. The first realised he’d forgotten his ID, and his parents said it looked like the mate would be buying the drinks. The mate started going through the challenge 21 process and realised not only had he forgotten his ID, but his entire wallet… at which point they had to sheepishly ask if they could check their crates back out 😂

As I camped close to Gate A in Darble, it was quicker to go out of the gate and use the loos there rather than queue in the field.  On Sunday, as I came back to the gate, I heard one of the day visitors say "Oh my god, there's a massive queue".  Puzzled, I looked towards the entrance.  There must have been about 10 people max at the security desk!

When you see a random wasted bloke ask a copper for a lighter to light his joint…and then offer him a toke as thanks, that’s when you know you’re at Glastonbury! 😂

(The offer was politely declined, although he did tell the fella to enjoy, which won him a round of applause 😂)

Ordering a cocktail at one of the bars in the SEC and the guy behind the bar says "I can't give you a straw, we're not allowed to any more because people keep using them to take drugs" and then deadpan ends with "so you're getting a spoon instead, no one's ever done drugs off a spoon".

I saw a couple sat down at Arcadia in the daytime and I assume they must’ve been skinning up or sorting out their other gear. They looked up as 4 police officers were practically staring down on them. Couple quickly stopped what they were doing and looked very sheepish. Police carried on walking and two of them turned round smiling, and one said several times ‘it’s fine’. Couple still got up and made a sharp exit. 
 

The police at Glastonbury have always been amazing in my experience.

‘Someone must have a birthday, there’s lots of balloons around’

One of my group always says this, countless times over the weekend (mostly in the SE)

    • If you didn't see melt banana at Apolo. Go see them at the festival. Insane. 
    • Interesting, and thanks for coming back to give an update! I've seen that the second stage looks bigger than usual too, looks to be a Serious Stages - Stellar Stage from distance photos.    Seems like sizing wise stages have been scaled up somewhat this year.
    • I see its cancelled now but they did leave it really late to announce plus they are up against Kelburn Garden Party Festival not to far from the festival site.
    • Easily my favourite set of the day.
