So anyone adamant they are not going next year ?

There is something quite beautiful about reaching into your bag halfway through a set and pulling out a fresh can.

I've got one of these, enough room for cans, fleece/raincoat if needed. Once it's empty it folds away into a tiny little bag that I just clip onto my shorts.

I don't drink beer so guess that helps. Don't need as much wine and whiskey.

There's not much in life that beats the sheer thrill of cracking open a strategically deployed can of 11% imperial stout just as your headliner takes to the stage 😄

The Irish think of everything - putting an e into their whiskey.

Unnecessarily complicated isnt it

I'm adamant about re-registering and trying for tickets in October this year. IF I manage to get tickets, then that would at least give me another few months to consider where to go from there.

I think it's a fantastic notion.

Weighing on the the bag debate I’ve always found the free ones you get on entry and/or the Guardian ones to be ample for a hoodie/waterproof, few cans, suncream, fags and any other requirements.

Entrance ones are big enough for sure, but a small backpack is way more comfortable. (The Guardian backpack ones are pretty good though)

The thread seems to have gone off topic.  Haven't gone through all of it, just reacting to the OP:

I fully intend to continue going until I drop dead.

I liked the Guardian ones with the drawstring. When they went full schoolbag straps they lost me in favour of combat short pockets.

Still got a few of those drawstring bags. Great for trips to the beach.

What a fantastic drink that must have been - nectar of the gods.

This is actually nonsense. The two drugs really don't go together at all.

Not only that but it's a very dangerous combination.

It was a flippant remark based on the Irish spelling of whiskey as opposed to the Scottish spelling of whisky.

Ah okay

Fair play then

I reckon the nearer we get to ticket day the lure of the festival will be too great for many who may be currently undecided 😉😊

No... I have had to swap to volunteering. My luck ran out in 2020.

I have this dilemma each year. I get a free ticket each year and have parking in the village. but due to issues with my knees, it get increasing difficult each year. I love this festival, but this year, I wasn't able to visit much of the site and did feel I missed out. Maybe this year was the last.
