Glastonbury 2020

I enjoyed him back in 2004, but my tastes have changed a bit.

Didn't get a ticket, don't know whether to volunteer this year.
 
Good crew, really friendly :oldthumbsup:

Unless crew camping arrangements change, you'll be camped up next to us Info Crew (in numbers we're a much smaller lot) in Dairy Ground, near the far end of the old railway track beyond Arcadia.

So we'll inevitably meet up :) :cool:
 
And talking of crew ...

We're aiming for Tipi village tickets this year (obscene cost, but it's one of the groups 'big' birthday and is determined with going Tipi)

...we slightly know one or two Tipi Crew from Glastonbury town, we also have friends from there who we know better, and who hope maybe to get work in the Tipi Fields this time.

So we may well? end up occasionally hanging out up that way too :cool:

As for luxury, our friends Boris and Jo (just two people! :eek: ) stayed in a Tipi up there about 5 years ago, and yes, they reported that the experience was pretty damned luxurious -- I sneaked a peak and could tell!
Lovely saunas and showers up there also :)
 
How many of Urban's Glastonbury people have got the wonderful Glastonbury 50 book for Xmas or since? :)

The text is mainly by Michael and Emily Eavis, who both contribute several long chapters, but the main amazingness to me is the PICTURES! :eek:
So many that I've never seen before :) Plus loads of great pieces contributed by musicians and writers.

Do not miss this book! I thoroughly recommend :) :cool:

Yes I was given it by my Brother in law and his wife. Signed by the Eavises.

I got it off Mr Riff (the unsigned version) for Xmas. Had a look through it, but without tickets for, feel it's too saddening to look at it properly.

I did notice our car in the aerial photo from 2019, though.
 
Yes I was given it too . i like it a lot , particularly good to go back over the line-ups over the years . Great photos too and as WoW says lots of good quotes from various people who have connections , he might act like a tosser at times but Noel Gallaghers was spot on .

Could it be a dryer Glastonbury this year?


I've just read this, but I think that link's versiobn of wehat the Council are instructing is (at this point) higjhly vague :hmm:

I strongly suspect, and predict, that bring-in alcohol amounts won't be too much restricted**

We'll see though! :hmm:

**especially not for crew ;) :D

I've camped in Dairy Ground crew camping a couple of times, guessing we'll probably be back there again this year. Maybe see you there? :)
 
You’ve got to wonder at what point they’re going to have to make a go / no go decision on the festival happening with all the talk of Coronavirus lockdowns at the moment. Will probably have to be soon...

Yeah, there’s a feeling of inevitability about lockdowns and big events being cancelled.
Basically my whole summer is planned around big gigs and festivals this year.
Nick Cave, Glastonbury, Taylor Swift, Womad then End Of The Road. I’m holding off on booking hotels and paying balances which seems a bit pessimistic but I have a horrible feeling. 😞
