Ok so what weird and wonderful things have you found at Glastonbury festival ? Was sent this last night and made me smile from the great memories. Away from the main stages what have you enjoyed ? What have newbies got to look forward to

Rimskis yard wins number 1 for weird...

Plus our other winners on the walkabout this year were the rainbow light birds and the sunflower/gardener

Got to agree with you about Rimskis yard, weird wonderful and funny. I got roped into one of their crazy acts last year. Embarrassing but gave folk a laugh!

I think the weirdest stuff I've seen at the festival has no place on a forum...I certainly wouldn't have taken any pictures of it! I would say that the "weirdness" of the festival has reduced somewhat since I've been going. A lot of the areas which were edgier, have been sanitised a little. 

Lol, well this is true

I've got a "weird" story from the Lost Vagueness days, but it may not belong on a forum.

Agree that the "weirdness" of the festival has reduced somewhat, although that may be an understatement.

it has but there's still plenty of stuff to enjoy similar to above , might not be quite as risqué as you were thinking but fun and random never the less

Sure, plenty of stuff to enjoy, absolutely. Beyond an abundance. I guess it depends on your interpretation of the term "weird". 

I wonder if we'll ever see a return of edgier content? I suppose it's divided into what's created in each area and the type of behaviour or people it attracts? I'm not trying to be edgy myself here, I just feel that's one of the major differences from my first festival to the most recent...and I never attended in the 80s or 90s, sadly. No doubt, the differences between then and now are chasmic. But then, making comparisons wasn't what this thread was created for. As you were, everyone. 😃

    • Looking at other Superstruct festivals this year, The Prodigy haven’t played Tramlines yet, and it’s been a while since Two Door Cinema Club have.   Those two seem likely headliners on how they tend to rotate bands.   Fontaines DC would be incredible but possibly a little too big now, Geese are having a good rise, would be great as a newer band to headline
    • Automated sessions and BOTs dont sleep. 
    • I’ve secured tickets once since 2007. I’ve done 11 festivals in that time.  Thankfully I have friends with better luck!
    • Did a little update on headliners/other acts on who is confirmed to be around in the next year or releasing new music:   Almost Certainties (headliners):   Phoebe Bridgers Fontaines DC The Strokes (playing South American Primavera) Slayyyter Zara Larsson   Possibilities (headliners): Interpol (Wednesday headliner?) Bjork Faith No More Hayley Williams Charli XCX  Troye Sivan Tame Impala Cardi B Rosalia Olivia Dean Doechii Fred Again Massive Attack The National Bad Gyal Robyn King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard   Long shots, but not out of the realm of possibility:   Madonna Olivia Rodrigo (playing Barcelona on her tour) Miley Cyrus Jay-Z Tate McRae   Lower down acts (possibilities):   Elastica, The Shins, Mac DeMarco, Alex G, Alabama Shakes, Two Shell,  Eartheater, Teenage Fanclub, Marina Herlop, Rachel Chinouriri, Jacques Greene, The Olivia Tremor Control, DIIV, La Roux, Arca, L'Rain, The Afghan Whigs, Sparks, Dinosaur Jr., Floating Points, Mastodon, Mike D, Ty Segall, Weezer
