I've been to every Glastonbury since 2002.....except 2010 and 2019....and I'll be at this one.

 

Those were the only 2 it's not rained at all at since 2002.

 

Just sayin' like.  Sorry.

I don't remember rain in 2022 other than about 10 mins when there were a few spots of rain one day which prompted me to put my poncho on and then it never materialized.

 

Leathered down before Sam Fender.

I *think* 2022 BoomTown went on record as the hottest ever UK festival as it was in the mid 30s solid for 5 days.

 

That was absolutely scorching - I was there with Oxfam. There were a lot (a huge amount) of casualties of hot weather, drugs, booze, dehydration, all combining to make it tough verging on dangerous…..it was punishing.

Same, but I’ve seen the clips of IDLES and there’s definitely a decent amount (not sure where I was at the time, but I didn’t take my rain coat out of my bag all weekend). 

2023 I don’t think it rained at all.

It's HOT on site!!!! Make sure you've got plenty of water for the queue people... the 'feel like' temperature is through the roof! Woohooo, you can officially leave your wellies at home I'm calling it!!!! 

 

Safe travels everyone! Thank you weather thread nutters, we did it! Cheers ☀️

It was extremely brief. I remember seeing a bit from inside Woodsies watching Sigurd / Phoebe Bridgers but it was glorious sun by the time I was out after Bridgers.

I'm off. Briddj - stellar work as always. A comfortable win. Sunday all to play for but in test Cricket that's a 4-1 comfortable win against the horrible 'Low's'. Up the highs - see you on the best place on earth!!!!!!

a great analogy. We retain the ashes, the ashes in this case being the scorched, dusty Somerset earth.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
