The Glastonbury Photos Thread

[Final]

It was quite nice on Wednesday

 

[Skim]

all the pictures of all the mud and rain have put me off ever wanting to go to glastonbury again. i've been four times - had two excellent sunny and dry years, and two wet as fuck years. so there's a 50% chance that if i go, it'll piss down

anyway - good photos from everyone who braved it and obviously enjoyed despite it being a mudbath

You'd have been fine in your brothel-creepers – they could have elevated you above the mud

2008 will be rain free. I don't know if I can be arsed with a four rainy glastonbury's in a row.

Martha wainwright with the spliff i threw up on stage for her,

The Bootleg Beatles on the Acoustic Stage. We went to watch them instead of The Who or The Chemical Brothers mostly because it was warm, sheltered and up on a hill so even the floor was vaguely dry.

The bootleg beatles are fab Better than the real thing really, as they have modern PA and they play the later stuff!

 

[JTG]

We ran very quickly past them, but still had to endure Hey Jude from up the hill in Family

yellow submarine?

Two groups singing to each other?

I was standing right next to one of the groups (I was right on a little hill on the ground so could see straight over the heads of the 6 rows of people in front of me).

The festival organisers decided to give up on Somerset and moved the festival to somewhere a bit less muddy. In this case, The Other Stage was moved up north to Morecombe Bay. They'll be digging out the bodies of cockle pickers for weeks to come.

they'll have to fight off all the punks at wasted festival first!

cheers for the muddy picks ya'all
i wasnt there, but was marshalling at a 24hours bike event, in a field that also became very very muddy.

And some more...

 

[Voley]

That's pretty much my idea of hell ...

Looking at these photos and reading some of the stuff people have to say really does make me wonder whether I would've enjoyed this year's Glastonbury at all.

 

[aqua]

there was enough cider onsite to make you happy

 

[Voley]

Maybe so. But it looks really bad from where I'm sitting.

Seriously.

 

[aqua]

nah it wasn't, it was fucking superb will sort the few photos I have out in a bit

Nah, you would have loved it. Our tent was dry and snug all week, the bands were fantastic, the food superb, the ale delicious and the company top notch.

We met loads of new chums and saw some of the best acts around.

I'll be there again but - please Mr God-bloke - no more bastard rain!

[futha]
