Had a blast in 98!
Think it was one of the wettest on record but still loved it. People floating past on inflatable chairs,diving through the mud.think I remember James,blur and I think the foos were there. |

Been twice and never seen a drop of rain. Apply for tickets every year but half-heartedly. It’s an amazing experience but I can think of better things to spend over a grand on.
That said this year’s lineup is the best it’s been for a while (if you discount the Foos, who weren’t even meant to be there) |

I love the fact that the foo fighters must have driven past my road today. I love and hate this weekend. Non stop helicopters, but the rest of the local population have all moved to worthy farm. On the tv, (with my own nice clean toilet). Foo fighters and Carly Rae jepson (don’t judge me) have been amazing. |

Never been, never wanted to go, never will go. I was put off festivals for life at 15yo (Knebworth '79), not because of the music (it was Zeppelin after all) but being in a sea of people, hot, uncomfortable, lack of facilities, etc. Not keen on outdoor shows generally tbh and wouldn't want to sit/stand through stuff I wasn't interested in. |

This is true. But also best not tell them LG said he voted Green in 2019!
On the OP, I've never been. Kind of regret that - I was a part-indie kid in the 90s and there were a couple of years when loads of friends went (97/98 ish) and I know I'd have had a great time, but somehow figured it wasn't for me. Don't 'regret' it enough to go now though - I'll just be an armchair fan.
As for this year: Kelis, I love you. |

I went once in 97 I think.
Paid a security guard £10 to get us in.
Can't remember too.much apart from seeing Lamb, Aphex Twin and Square pusher.
Main memory was the mud and legs being knackered from walking around in mud laden para boots. |

Last year, I thought Self Esteem’s set was incredible. A real levelling up moment for her. And Per Shop Boys played a blinder. |

I’d like to go but not sure I could camp there. And if it was one of those wet rainy Glastonbury’s I would be miserable! I also need reliable access to a toilet.
So I think I’m best off watching it on the telly. Far from Saint’s are playing the Avalon stage at 6:20 tonight, I’d definitely go and watch them. And Elton. I want to see who his Special Guests are |

"This year I've watched Manic Street Preachers, The Pretenders and Leftfield, may watch some more tonight."
Oh yeah, the Pretenders were ace. Chrissie Hynde has definitely still got it. |

Blonde - legend! Have always been really good live, and Clem Burke is a top drummer |

Must watch that on catch up. I used to fancy Chrissie Hynde! And Debbie Harry, she's still got it to. What a woman |

Not my thing now worked there 1992 & 93 on the generators
It was smaller then now 62 stages takes 6 weeks to build and about 500,000 people in all cost £41 million to put on and only just brake even over a 4 year stretch with the off year. |

Nova Twins are a lot of fun, aren’t they?
It wouldn’t be Glasto coverage if I didn’t become a fan of at least one new band, and here they are. |

Is it just me when watching these ‘older’ artist headline Glastonbury, it feels like watching a great from any sport flogging their guts out for one last soirées. The intent is there but the fizz is missing. |

"So since it’s this weekend… anyone ever been?
Favourite preformance?
If you have only ever watched from home, best band you have watched? "
Never been but it’s on the bucket list, gutted I missed this year with The Hu playing today and a few other bands I wouldn’t mind seeing |

We never used to go for the bands really , I would try and pick one gig an evening then dance tents through the night and just chill £”& recover in the day, there’s a lot more going on around the greenfields camp than gigs   |

Maybe he has always been him. Have they been seen in the same room?

"Dreadful festival. Full of loony lefties crying about climate change. Went Liam Gallagher at Knebworth last year. Now that was different class"
Liam Gallagher and class are two things that will never go together.
He's never made it past being 14. Of all the gigs i've done, his was right up there as one of the worst- from the complete inability to hit half of his notes or enunciate most of the lyrics in any intelligible form, to the knuckle dragging neandethals that revere him as some sort of god, as they neck the cheapest lager they can find in huge quantities, then spit, puke and piss on the floor wherever they're standing, before returning to bellowing boorishly at each other without any resemblance of toilet training or manners until its time to commence with the football thug posturing and inevitable ego driven fight.
The man is cretinous chav, who somehow discovered wealth, but never escaped being dragged up in the arse end of Manchester |
