To be fair I don't think that one is official merch - that's just the poster.

By my rough count that's 77 names on the fleece?

No, the t-shirts rarely look good. I always have a look, tiptoeing to see over the crowds of people buying them. I see the design and go 'meh' then I see the price and go 'no chance'.

Price wise they aren’t that bad compared to other shows, but the quality is quite poor

There’s always Tippex

Yeah, but he's nowhere near as popular since he's stopped playing dubstep

Price and quality to hand in hand imo.

I’ve never been tempted by Glasto merch. I think it’s poorly designed, but mainly I don’t want to be engaged by muggles in the real world and have to humour them. I prefer the “fight club” approach.

I've been wearing one of my many fleeces for the last three months and can't think of more than 2 strangers who recently mentioned it - one person who spotted one from the year he was born. The other an older fella who tapped me on the arm as he spotted manics amongst the bands and told me he inherited loads of their vinyl from his late son. 

I found both encounters pretty sweet.

I've got some t shirts over twenty years old that have been worn tons still going strong, far more than any other branded or tour t shirt I bought.

Both those interactions sound fine.  However, outside my Glasto family, whenever it comes up that I regularly attend I get the usual banal "who's headlining" or "isn't it always muddy" bollocks.

The only exception was 2 young guys in the local pub who had never been able to get tickets and it blew their mind I'd been 10 times.  I got them into our ticket gang and last year, they went for the first time.  I'm now a legend and always get a free pint if they're in.

the tote bags are good to be fair. no idea where mine is but see one probably every other week on the tube

Didn't realise they played when ELO played. That doesn't seem long ago in my head. Maybe they want to FBS style it and play every year 🫣

The merchandise will be all yellow this year.
