  • Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival

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 šŸ˜…

      mono-stereo I donā€™t really like the way festivals have become so middle class and white

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

          hugopal Back in 97 it was a smorgasbord, white kids, black dealers, Asian taxi drivers, you name it. Fond memories of the crowd going wild as Archbishop Desmond Tutu made a completly unexpected appearance on the Pyramid Stage that evening. Of course, it actually turned out to be the lead singer of Skunk Anansie, but that didnā€™t dampen the vibe, It is great moment for multi-cultural Britain.

              Coachella completely jumped the shark years ago. They actually had to ban Indian headdresses because the stupid frat boy cunts couldnā€™t help but rub more salt in that wound. Camera phones killed the hedonism. Pictures for the ā€˜gram killed the spontaneity. It was an excellent festival for a bit there. Far too hot for a crowd of 30K. Now itā€™s 100K and a Swedish House Mafia reunion is considered a thing. Yeah, yeah, yelling at clouds here. Just feel for the younguns who donā€™t go tops off ā€˜cause of what it would mean for their ā€œsocial.ā€ Sad any sense of anonymity and privacy has gone completely out the window.

                Reeling off some stereotypes there arenā€™t you? šŸ˜‰

                  A lol at Coachella even being mentioned in the same breath at Glastonbury.

                    Enjoy the next few days, anyone who is there!

                    Grant, hope youā€™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 ā€“ everywhere was a massive ballache to get to because of the mud I couldnā€™t wait to get out of there. Q magazine rated Radiohead as the best gig of the 90s iirc

                        -si- Grant, hope youā€™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) - theyā€™ve been stuck in the same tent. Feeling better today, so thereā€™s a chance tomorrow or even Saturday. Missus needs to buy in it itā€™ll be a pain in the arse.

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