You sure your marriage is strong enough? Seriously, after five days you'll want to kill her!

Not this year ;)

I have done it before tho, always fun seeing them gawp in amazement at everything.

Best thing is to take them on a tour of the site on Wednesday or Thursday, ending at the stone circle - take them right to the top, but don't let them turn around until you reach the fence - then watch them smile :)

We were Virgins last year and whilst it was nice to go with people who had been before. I cannot help but feel that I just wanted to experience the place for myself. Sure, it was great seeing the stuff on the Wednesday night and hearing how great everything is, but more than being told I wanted to experience it! Trouble when going is a group is too much compromise...unless you define clear boundaries beforehand. Meeting up when you feel like it and not giving two hoots if you dont make it etc.

Plus it didnt help that it was like being on a package holiday with every single point being referenced and not once did we walk to the back of the stone circle instead we faffed about for most of the night whilst everyone else seemed to be having a good time. Oh well. Everything we didnt do last year, we'r doing this year. Cannot wait!

Nah, the other way around.

She fully expects me to wander off on my own a lot. It's one of the things I love doing at Glastonbury. You can't beat a good mooch around.

I took two last year and am taking one this year - I'm excited!

I have also persuaded another friend to come with me - she came to my first one when we were twelve but she hasnt been since - think it will be a VERY diferent experience for her!

We're taking 2 virgins this year. Did the whole 'take them to the stone circle and don't let them turn arround until the to' thing with a couple of virgins last year and their faces were a picture. I'll be doing it again this year

My fiancee's first year! It could go either way to be honest, can't be as bad as last time though, when I decided to leave her at home and went with a mate instead :blink: she almost removed my left testicle for that one!

    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
    • I left and went home, saw the Massive Attack update when I got in the door. Typical 💀 
    • They have posted twice in 4 hours with almost no info
