Enjoy the next few days, anyone who is there!

Grant, hope you’re on the mend soon and make it before the weekend is over.

Tried 3 fucking years in a row to get tickets and had no luck whatsoever.

    mono-stereo I was there that year, it was absolutely horrific owing to the weather – everywhere was a massive ballache to get to because of the mud I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Q magazine rated Radiohead as the best gig of the 90s iirc

    -si- Grant, hope you’re on the mend soon and make it before the weekend is over.

    Four of the group have already got the rona (obviously went there with it) - they’ve been stuck in the same tent. Feeling better today, so there’s a chance tomorrow or even Saturday. Missus needs to buy in it it’ll be a pain in the arse.

      Along_the_Wire Think it’s going to be Rona Fest 2022, there’s so much of it about at the moment. Kudos for having a moral conscience about it, but I’d crack on and go if I were you!

        Enjoy all, hope everyone going can make it!

        -si- Same boat - three years without a sniff. 2017 was the last time I was there, which was brilliant.

        ScottBailey I’m feeling a lot, lot better even in the last couple of hours. I couldn’t have gone even first thing this morning, was just feeling too ill. I can go and stay in the rona tent, just got to get the missus on board now - hopefully head over tomorrow.

        Nice one pal that sounds positive ( no pun intended) 👍🏻

        I used to live about 10-15 mins away from Glastonbury.

        First went in 95 (I think) when Oasis and Pulp were headlining (The Orb may have played) but really remember the NME tent for The Verve, Charlatans and Skunk Anansie (not my kind of music but I still remember the intensity of their performance).

        Was one of the last years that people were still able to get over the fence, I think, and the dealers would go to all the tents in the morning. Was amazing weather and definitely a fantastic memory.

        Went a few years later when it was muddy and it was a massive ball ache trying to get anywhere in the thick mud, which definitely changes your perception. Would still like to go again but probably find it difficult to not shower or have a dump for 3 days. 😃

          whatever I used to live about 10-15 mins away from Glastonbury.

          Where abouts? I was raised in Street (born in Taunton)

            The locals still get free tickets, know someone who lives in Wookey who gets in with his mates every time via this method

              Hursty used to be that anyone within a 7 mile radius got free tickets. Thought that finished ages ago though?

                Lived in Catcott for a number of years, Taunton and grew up in small village in Somerset. I know Street well. Went to the college there and went to the really cheesy nightclub (can’t remember what it was called).
