To be fair hels it's going to rain next week for sure down there, but it all looks pretty showery mixed with sunshine.

 

No absolute wash-out days at all.

Its absolutely shat it down at about 5am this morning on the Levels. But its been dry with bursts of rather hot sun all day. 

 

After making the mistake of looking at the BBC's next two weeks, I now only forecast by looking out my window with a glace to the east.

Why does everyone keep posting the current weather wherever they are? What's the weather going to be like for the festival is all the matters!

 Im pretty local and the state on the build up does have a significant bearing on the weekend of.

Because it balances out some negativity on this thread while people could and should be getting excited for the festival in 18 days time

Its sunny here in Dublin today!

 

This thread borders on insanity and is indicative of the decline of western society.


I’ll be in Dublin on Thursday, keep the weather good for my visit please. 😊

Not all over the pyramid field in the build up

Strange. Perhaps anticipating some activity there over the run up to the festival and getting it down as a precaution given the rain forecast for coming days. Not like there will be much footfall there on Wednesday or Thursday so would have thought they could have done it then if conditions did end up being bad and their concern was for during the festival

Really important not to go too early, but still good. Dry on the Tuesday and 22-23 degrees.

This is the update to the map I posted this morning, so panic over. I get annoyed with myself every year for getting freeked out by one Fantasy Island run.

Calling it now. Same weather as we are experiencing now - mixed. But it isn't gonna piss down and we're bound to have at least one lovely day.

 

Cold at night. Gonna need to dance to keep warm, so that sucks.

 

Completely disagree, nothing more than a week away is locked in. 

 

Theres a few positive signs out there that we could get some proper heat and dryness - but its only eye candy at the moment. This time last year we were all panicking but look how that turned out. This pattern is bound to break up sooner rather than later.

 

The picture will only get clearer once we start reaching the end of next week.

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
