They headlined during the swamps that were 2005, 2011 and 2016. It stopped raining after they played in 2011, Sunday was great weather. They did headline in 2002 but they were a late replacement so the weather gods didn’t have time to prepare the ground for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it stopped raining well before they played in 2011. It stopped at some point overnight on Friday into Saturday - both Sat and Sun were great, and it was even just about safe to switch back to trainers by the time the Saturday headliner rolled around.

I seem to recall that the weather started to improve saturday morning, Friday night was a catastrof**k of rain but by mid afternoon the ground was solid and dry.

I also think it pissed down when they did the live at worthy farm tv event during covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franky Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 So the law of averages dictates it won’t rain on them (oh wait that’s Travis) this time. 2010 all over again. Woohoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Steve Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 So here we have it, the area around Pilton had more than twice the average amount of rainfall in March. A very wet month. 2024: But let’s not forget that 2023 was just as wet, if not more so. Not the time to start panicking. Just yet… 2023: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just yet… 2023: As long as we get a few good weeks we'll be fine especially when temperatures start to improve but I've never wanted weather to improve so much I am seriously sick of walking in mud and rain just at home let alone on the farm. It feels like the last seriously good weeks weather we had was last years Glastonbury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 They must run out of rain soon!! 😆 It's a quagmire around my local walk, and the bottom of our garden has been consistently under water for 6 months. Still, the frogs are enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just notice it more because I have been out walking more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that applies to pilton Cos it's been raining constantly in bristol. i just realised that I didn't get to my favourite pub garden last year cos the weather was rough on weekends. [The pub is run by the same company ,(event bars) who run some of the Glastonbury bars (ridge and furrow& West holts crew bar). They have better beers in their pubs.] Edited April 3 by Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is calm. We don't hold with this science stuff really. All guessery and computer posturing. It rains, it doesnt rain, all the same really. Wait until the start of June and we will see what really is happening. There will be weather whatever we do. Keep the faith. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes way too early for panic stations and if anything, every day it rains means we must surely be due some dry days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to wait till June to know that the ground at worthy farm is already saturated. Will start to dry quickly if we get a dry spell as growing plants and trees will suck the moisture up.
