Can't see Nick Cave subbing any stage nowadays. He'll require the darkness and - most importantly - a 1,5h+ (or 2h) set time. It's Other headliner or bust. 

I don't know who you are @polo0222 - two posts in two years? - I'm guessing you made an alt account to hide your main log in. Anyway, I spent hours making the map you seem to claim as your own work, why did you feel the need, I have already distributed it on these forums and on facebook. Are you still going to publish V.2? That may be interesting

yeah I was on a bit of a hill and woke to water running through my tent, I think had stopped raining by then. Walked past that flooded area and was actually worried that there could be some casualties, people drowning in their tents etc

Thanks, thought it was mostly the other side that flooded but wasn't sure. Like I said, that whole stretch is basically a flood plain (no idea if it is officially, but it ought to be.) Have you ever crossed the causeway at Swarkestone Bridge when the whole thing has been flooded? Makes you realise why the causeway was needed back in the day.  Seems like there's often been the threat of cancellation due to rain, as well as rumours and possibilities, but very little evidence of any big festivals ever actually being cancelled for rain and rain alone. 2016 was on a knife edge, I think that's official, from Emily's own mouth, but it was more to do with traffic management issues that the rain caused, so you'd hope that they now have a backup plan in place. As health and safety seems like it's actually been going backwards since we left the EU, (don't get me started on "Not for the EU" labels!!!) I just can't see it happening, unless we were to get crazy amounts of rain in the run in. *TOUCH WOOD   No, it was beautiful, at least where we were in Derbyshire, see my previous reply to you. (And the attached photo of the 23rd, one of the 'live' days. Or the screenshot below.)  Dunno what it was like elsewhere that week in particular, but it was so consistently nice here, (and elsewhere other weeks) that I can't see it being that different... 2020 and 2021 felt like the most incredible summers, only to be ruined by Covid. 😞  -----   EDIT: Bored so just checked local for you, couldn't find Pilton or Glastonbury, but looks like Bath was nice, although they did get some light rain on one of the Live evenings, so maybe this is what you were remembering?
