mph Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I thought it was always last full weekend of June, as simple as that Nothing to do with solstice, it's been Sunday 30th June a few times for last day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJeansAndWhiteTshirts Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 To keep it simple, Forget the solstice. It's always the last Saturday and Sunday in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official start of the festival is Friday (when the mains stages open) which makes the weekend beginning Friday 21st the first weekend after the solstice which occurs on the 20th in 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
