It did, I was at Plant and Krauss before Fender and it was a decent downpour

Yeah the only rain I remember from the whole weekend was standing waiting for Fender to start in between acts and getting hit with sideways rain for 15-20 mins

Yeah that was the only bit wasn’t it? I can’t remember anything else.

I was in the pit from prior to Krauss/Plant (one of the worst sets ive witnessed at Glasto) until post Fender and i don't recall sideways rain at all. My rain poncho went for 10 minutes for a passing shower but nothing more than that.

It was really hard work mate. Me and the Mrs were there in the hope we got some Led Zepp and a decent spot for Fender.

 

Not even sure what I was doing there...I recall watching Supergrass, then wandering off for some food as I was going to see Bonobo at West Holts with a couple of friends and we wanted something to eat first..... somehow found ourselves near the cider bus, so got some dinner and a cider and saw the last 30 minutes I think and it was f**king terrible! 😄

Going to be heading off to the site soon so that I get there in time to watch tonights footy game in the camper field.

Before going though just wanted to doff my cap once again to our roller coaster captain @briddj, and his able co-pilot @Sheffield Steve.

Once again navigated us through the highs and lows, to bring us to what I would say is a bloody cracking looking outlook. (For those NFRNFC I will gladly take a tiny shower Thursday or Sunday now bearing in mind its only a few days ago we were talking about a months worth of rain on the Wednesday morning!)

And also thanks to all of those other regulars in this chat that have made me feel less like a complete freak for checking the forecast here every couple of hours for the last 2 weeks.

I might just pluck up the courage if nerves don't get the better of me, to come to the meet on Wednesday if for no other reason than to ensure that I buy a drink for our captain and co-pilot. 

Have an amazing dry festival one and all and look forward to catching the same rollercoaster this time next year!!

Met Office now predicting a second low coming in on Saturday after rain from the first low misses us. Hopefully it burns out before it reaches the site but continues the downward trend today. Still not out of the woods for the whole weekend…

Christ knows where I was, I don't remember any rain.  But then I struggle to remember who I saw, let alone the weather!  Edited to add - using my last couple of minutes at work wisely, I have checked and I was in Left Field - do vaguely remember it raining outside.

GFS 12z brings the second low in but South West stays dry, bar possible light shower Sunday. Weds still scorchio, Thurs / Fri sunny but cooler, moving towards overcast Sat and Sun. So not as good as yesterday, but rainfall totals remain negligible. Hopefully there's no continuing downward trend tomorrow though.

    • 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. 🙂
