I did it in 2007 and 2008. 2007, some very good bands, but shit crowd and the whole vibe. 2008 was complete crap, hated everything about that over-hyped bullshit.....Kings of Leon, The Verve, and Jay fucking Z!!!!
I finally went in 2015. Should've gone in the mid-90s but it fucked up for me so was mega excited to finally go. Been to loads of festivals and whilst the line up was incredible, it really was the shittest crowd i've ever been around. Far too many posh kids braying over bands, clearly only there so they could tell their mates they'd been. No one really chatting to each other, found it quite moody. Think it said a lot that about 2am on the saturday, been in a little dance tent and went out for a cig. Got chatting to a woman and after 5 mins she thanked me for being the first bloke she'd spoken to all weekend that hadn't tried it on with her. She got quite upset about it, it was a bit on top in that regard.I did it in 2007 and 2008. 2007, some very good bands, but shit crowd and the whole vibe. 2008 was complete crap, hated everything about that over-hyped bullshit.....Kings of Leon, The Verve, and Jay fucking Z!!!!

The only time the crowd really chilled out was on the sunday when all the locals turned up and that was ace. Other than that though, i'll stick to watching it on the tv. Blue dot for me end of next month. The line up might not be as good but it's one of the soundest festival crowds i've ever been around.
I was waiting for something along those lines... No, but had a laugh with her and her mates. They were sound.So did you give her one or what?
Ive been 6 times and luckily each time has felt like we were sitting in Spain...apart form 1 year where there was a bit of typical english rain...but perfectly manageable.Always a great festival- sod the annual moaners
However, hearing gonna be some heavy heavy showers and storms , wouldn't fancy that
I dunno how many times this needs to be said, but the headliners...and the main stages are about 10% of whats actually happening at Glastonbury. Yes its what you see on TV....but i think ive only see 3 or 4 headliners from the six times ive been thereMacca and Diana Ross Headlining? Says a lot about modern music
