I ain’t going to Glastonbury for no working class politics lectures.

I’m there to kitchen sink it!

Glasto is an event ive always shuddered at, given the sheer investment of emotion/commitment right from the booking process, to the travel and then to the sheer size of the event. I also cant bare to drink warm beer in a piss den for 3 days.

It all seems like such a palava.

seanc80 If you buy into it all too much you can defo over think it. Easy enough to do it in your own way, find your own thing though.

seanc80 Most people are going for the vibe though, bar Ed, it’s basically cunt free.

seanc80 Was a bit dubious before I’d been. Done a bunch of other festivals around the UK, and just really didn’t get the fuss about Glastonbury. Happy to acknowledge I was being a narrow-minded fuckwit. There’s nowhere else on the planet I’ve enjoyed a party more than at Glastonbury.

Agree with others - trying to march around the site to see specific bands or artists can be a right pain in the bollocks. Most of the best days/nights I’ve had there have been the ones where we just set off with no particular place to be…

seanc80 It can be a colossal effort however if the sun is shining it is well well worth it, once you’re in and set up its just a 5 day long party with 200 000 other like minded folk

Amps Would you not be better off finding a nice bar and have a few pints and a chat?

Bollocks - sorry to hear that Granto! What a shitter

Smallman1 Billy fucking Bragg.

wrongun Hope so. The missus was going down til Friday late afternoon anyway, so got a bit of time. Cancelled transport for tomorrow because that ain’t happening from here

Sorry to hear that Grant :-(

Same could be said for any holiday anywhere, not exactly novel sitting in a pub. Plenty of places to sit off and talk absolute bollocks for hours if you want to at Glasto.

It’s as good a festival as you will ever go to and the music, assuming you swerve the main stage shite, is boss.

Sean’s style of footwear wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow at Glastonbury.

Anything goes there.

seanc80

Cunts constantly coming up to me, telling me im so stylish. And sexy.

Euggggh….Head would be melted.

Smallman1

The clobber I’m taking to Glastonbury this year, on account of it being a wash out, is nothing short of horrific.

SO NO CHANGE THERE THEN!

seanc80

If Dave did Glastonbury…..

Smallman1

Lol!

Superb!

I went to that one year as I have family who live in Glastonbury. Suade played live. I’ve never been into their music but they were brilliant

ScottBailey

Dubman nice one Dub! Used to be a best kept secret, but alas the cat was let out of the bag. Glastonbury is my old stomping ground, so might well know your family 😅

Last time I went to Glastonbury was 97. It was the year after the dance tent go sprayed with liquid shit.

I don’t really like the way festivals have become so middle class and white, a right of passage for posh cunts. I also hate the term “Glasto”.

I will go back when it becomes unfashionable again.

Because back when Glastonbury was founded in the 70s it would have been a lot more multi-cultural?!

mono-stereo ffs mono. Literally any excuse to blackface

nicksneddon

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
