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.

    • 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.

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. 🙂
