For those who like to scan all the many forecasts out there make sure you look up the correct Glastonbury, not Glastonbury Connecticut where it’s currently having a heatwave😉😊

 

Or technically... the correct Glastonbury is... Pilton!  LOL! 

 

Sometimes the Glastonbury and Pilton forecasts actually differ, and Pilton is of course closer, so that's the one I go to on the BBC site.

Can't stop looking at this thread. It's like watching the most important football match of your life spread out over 2 weeks with updates every few hours. Was even having dreams about it last night. Keep up the work lads and fingers crossed for a good one.

Get the brollies out. And not for the rain.

 

You might have spoken too soon... what's that horrible blue blob doing, creeping up in the bottom left of the UK Precipitation window..?! Eek!

It's fun time again! Bring on the 12Z. Will Wednesday improve?

 

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

 

Now seems set on that rain overnight Friday into Saturday, but there's not much. The loads of drying time with temps of 16-17, 20, 21-22, 24-25. Heating up!

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

It's now COMPLETELY DRY for gates open, with temperatures of 17-18.

 

And Wednesday is completely dry and SCORCHIO at 25-26.

 

Overnight temperatures into Thursday of 16-17.

High pressure is in control in this run (on the right), and it's BUILDING (latest on the right).

THURSDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 25-26.

 

Overnight temperatures into Friday of 17-18.

High pressure remains in command and looks to be staying strong (latest on the right).

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry, ignore the wispy blue, highs of 28-30.

 

Overnight temperatures into Saturday of 18.

The low to the north is being completely repelled and heat continues to build on this run (latest on the right). However, is there a risk out off the coast of Spain?

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 25-26.

But that pesky pocket seems to be moving up from Spain... will it get to us? Latest run on the right.

Luckily we as move overnight, the apocalypse misses Glasto and goes for south central instead. Overnight temperatures into Sunday of 18.

SUNDAY

 

There are showers around, with highs of 20-21, but all the heavy rain is going out to the east.

 

Highs of 18 overnight into Monday.

And here you can see that danger, with the pocket again having moved up from Spain to be off the coast of England. Latest run on the right.

SUMMARY

 

A fantastic run, and one to celebrate - but not without concerns about possible rain / thunderstorms amid the heat next weekend.

 

It's all to play for, and we're BACK ON THE BUS.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
