alibear Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Lad 1: “If I do decide to retire early and actually do something useful with my life, like make MDMA, you will pay for my Glastonbury tickets, won’t you?” Lad 2: “Yeah, course I will mate.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliebean Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Two that gave me a giggle as I had similar thoughts; 1 “It’s so much bigger than it looks on tele” - I remember my first glasto and having this thought! 2. “now it’s not blistering sun, it’s actually enjoyable being here” - it’s the best place in the world, but man that heat does me no good!

phillyfaddle Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Outside Strummerville, Saturday late morning. One woman to her friend “I’m going to fill up my water bottle, shall I do yours too?”. Friend “Nah…it’s got wine in it” That’s my girl! 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjseabass Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Not ‘overheard’ because they were on stage but absolutely creased at Grove on Greenpeace Thursday introducing their next song: ”Now this one’s for those pillars of society, the people holding everything together: the MILFs!!” *crowd goes wild, launches into a banging song about wanting to be a MILF when they’re older* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTT250 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Heard loads of funny ones and kept thinking ‘I must remember these’ and never did. Only one I can remember was pair of Brummies after Elton: ’Oi! i thought Eminem was spotted in the bar earlier’ ’Yeah, well people talk sh*t don’t they!’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip997 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Not overheard, but a conversation I was part of: Me "I'm going off to meet my rigger mate" My boss "You can't say that" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantWaitForGlasto22 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 21 year old standing next to me at the barrier for Cat Burns : “Glastonbury is so good. I love it because I know all the old bands and the new ones too. What’s the best thing you’ve ever seen here?” my husband : “for me REM is hard to beat” 21 yo “sorry who? Never heard of them.” Also overheard waiting for Elton some guy saying he’d heard Prince Harry was coming on for Candle in the Wind. He didn’t seem to be joking 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamingofsunnydays Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Some guy ended up pitching his tent next to ours at big ground on Saturday morning. Turns out he’d gone out with his mates the night before, lost them, couldn’t remember where he’d camped and went out and bought another tent. He pitched it with a little help from us, stayed in it for 2 hours before being baked out. He then slept outside saying he was thinking of “just going home”, before declaring; “he was off to an open air swimming pool in Pilton as it’s only £8 in an Uber” and off he went……never to be seen again. So he pitched a tent for 2 hours, paid for it and an Uber and then left. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCountryGirl Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Girl just Infront of me at Cat Stevens, when the screens were showing footage of him in younger years. Girl to friend on her left: Is that him when he was younger? Friend on her left: *shrug* Girl to friend on her right: Is that him when he was younger?

Johnnyseven Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 I happened upon a band called Panda and the Moniums in a tent in the Green Fields. There was a guy at the back of the stage holding a Nike trainer next to a mic, no idea what he was doing with at. AFter one of the songs the guy playing double bass says 'can I get more shoe in the monitors?' I though it was hilarious, I was on shrooms though. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip997 Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Another one in which I was involved. I came out of the compost loos in Dragon Field after my morning visit. Said to my boss who was in the queue, "Hi ya, I've just got up" To which he replied "You can't sleep in there!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simsy Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 "Excuse me, where's the dance village?" *Confused face* Sadly my husband butted in and pointed her towards silver hayes before I could direct her to 2011. Also, my husband during Kelis's megamix-style set: "Jive bunny's got a lot to answer for" 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clearest Blue Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 When some bloke asked me where The Temple was at about 2:30 am and I was hammered and replied ‘I’m 99% sure there’s no venue at Glastonbury called the Tadpole!’. The look on his face 😂 my mate had to let me know he said the Temple and then I think gave him the wrong directions in my drunken haze! Sorry mate, whoever you were!

Tranquility of Solitude Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Particularly mashed punter asked me for a light. I lit my zippo lighter, and handed it to him. Having used it to light up, he proceeded to gaze at the flame with a look of complete bemusement. “How does it go out?” I take the zippo, and close the lid. ”what are you, a wizard or something?” 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken monkey Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 2 females, aged around 19/20 walk up to the campsite stewards on Sunday afternoon and asked where they can find the Pyramid stage. When the guy noted it was the pointy stage in the distance, one answered saying they thought ‘it was bigger than that’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
