Popsider75 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Been going to Glastonbury since 1995 and only missed one since which was 1997. Might be out on a limb but don't get the obsession with the Stone Circle. Spent a bit of time there chilling and it's ok but never felt the need to sit there all night. Suspect full of nobbers on laughing gas. I was actually there for that Flashmob as well. Edited January 2, 2023 by Popsider75 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 I don’t think anyone’s there all night. It’s more a place to congregate at a certain time of the very early morning when the music is shutting down but your body isn’t, and the sun will soon be up. I’m too old to get away with that without spoiling the next day, but if I was twenty years younger, I’d be there. It does look something special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 It's the place to go if you have ran out of gear, isn't it? Well, I always thought it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 It's a shit hole with empty cans, bottled and nos canisters lying about everywhere while someone thinks they can play a guitar along with the wooshing noise . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Was a great spot for a while. Lovely views of the site, random people chatting, good place to stock up, some unique people hanging around up there, spontaneous cheers etc. Been swallowed up by the SE Corner though when it started in ernest in 09. Both the Stoe Circle and the SE Corner are jaded shitholes now in need of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a few micro venues at the bottom/up the back, get rid of that god awful "secret" piano bar, couple of camp fires. Its a big area with not a lot going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian the worm Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I remember that Elbow flash mob singalong being mentioned on eFests. So I printed the chords and took my guitar and bashed my heart out. Later I realised that I’m really shit at guitar and haven’t really played since.

I wouldn't add those, but the days when it had fire eater walking around a load of drummers were great. If they wanted to actually do something to make it more exciting then sending some performers to mingle with the crowd might help. Although I'm not arsed to be honest. Just leaving it as it is works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - 'eyebrain' - another 10 out of 10. * * - Strange (but true) - I think that the term 'eyebrain' sums up, with some noticeable accuracy, how or where my head is at, right now. I'd like that to have meant this; Anything - but not this; PS - If you ever get the opportunity to walk in my shoes....................................... .................................. ............................................................... That would be my advice. I'm fucking tethered to this idiot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
