TBF I was assuming the only people reading this wouldn't be there yet, and unless they live in Pilton would not be onsite in time for the 30 minutes of drizzle that was taking place at the time. 

 The merest sprinkle. Left the dust unkept down.

Anyone else got a sinking feeling that the lovely weather luck we have had for the last 8 years has to break at some point? 

 

Not on the farm this year myself and whilst I am delighted for those who are that you are getting good weather, I cannot help but think ahead to next year when I will (hopefully) be back... 

 

Could 2025 by the year of the deluge?

To be fair, the pessimism in many of us think this will be case every year.
I’d say we cane pretty damn close to a washout this year - missed the horrendous weather at the start of June by a couple of weeks.

That was epic. I was at the pyramid and could see it approaching. They shut down the stage and I legged it Got into Cornish Arms just before the rain. They had cask ale so could still serve beer even without electricity. 

It was wild wasn't it, I was at the green arms (as it was) in t and c and the loudest thunderclap then everything went off and is rained like I've never seen before, but cash and cash ales got us through 😀

Blue sky has appeared already.  Not enough to dampen down the dust.  Another feature today will be the wind.  I’m up at Worthy and it’s already very blowy.

That was so cool, set everything back an hour and I ended up watching a couple of bands I never would have watched otherwise!

Quite a few of the models, including UKMO, still keen on some rain on Sunday morning, courtesy of this feature.

They just vary in timing and intensity.  Might make you damp if you’re going out early.   Shouldn’t be too disruptive though…

Best glastonbury weather of the last 3 years for me. Hot Weds, cooler but dry on the music days. 
 

And still getting enough sh  to keep the leisure batteries, and Jackery, fully charged!!! 
 

This is absolutely perfect. In the words of Craig Charles, ‘we f**king nailed it!!!’

    • 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. 🙂
