DaveMac Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Can't say there is one smell which brings back Glasto in general for me alas . Since the Festival goes on for days and we experience all kinds of weather and I seem to wander around every area of the site I get everything from the stink of the toilets to the smells of cooking up around the Healing fields etc plus all the dope and woodsmoke wafting about..... Will try to be more observant smellwise next year - perhaps I will come to a more definate conclusion .... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I love the festival smell. Mud, cheap burgers and bonfire smoke Every now and then you get a whiff of it outside of festivals and you get a lovely deja vu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yup! Had a whole one to myself for "Lunch" on the saturday afternoon after seeing Los Campesios! It was really tasty, and filled with sausages, mash potato and gravy. mmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krudler Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Ever since my 1st festival in 1999, whenever I've been unfortunate enough to have to use a portaloo in day-to-day life, the stench of poo, piss and chemicals has brought back a rush of warm fuzzy memories. I now seek them out in the dead of night for a quick sniff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuwarr Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Walking round where I live this time of year when the sun is setting you get the waft of bonfires and barbecues (and fresh grass!) always takes me to somewhere else in my head. That somewhere else is Glastonbury. Bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1990 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think festivals in general have a certain smell....the combination of beer, sweat, people smelling, fast food, the stench from the ground as it gets hot....i think we all know that smell i mean....not rancid foul...but each time i smell it for the 1st time at glasto/reading etc i think "ahh im back!"

Bobs Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I don't quite know, but Glastonbury has a unique cow smell, after living on a farm, i know all too well about the smell of cows and this is it. Reminds me of childhood and from 2010 good memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyelo Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 If I think about Glastonbury the first thought in my head is in the craft fields looking down into the valley, sun blazing and the smell I get is pot pourri, dope, flowers and grass haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroldecker Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 When walking down a short cut alleyway in Carlisle last year, I was suddenly reminded of Glastonbury. "Its the smell", I thought "it smells of Glastonbury!" I quickly grabbed my phone and texted someone to tell them my amazing discovery of the Alleyway That Smells of Glastonbury. Straight after i had sent this message, i realised the smell was just pee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsmoke Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 grilling meat, woodfire smoke and a little bit of warm (yet damp) grass for me was cycling home from work a few weeks ago, one of the first really warm days of the year and i went past a steak restaurant at the top of a gentle hill that had all of it's patio style doors open to enjoy the warm weather. the sun was just going down and i looked around me as i started to cruise downhill and thought 'it's wednesday night at glastonbury!'. talked about it all night in the pub i did - for me there's a different smell on the wednesday night to any other, loads of people barbecuing up their sausages etc that have been defrosting on the journey down (that and the fact that i'm still just about sober enough to remember it. oh, and my nose is still functioning properly ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanuit Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Before my first Glasto somebody told me it smelt like 'piss, shit, burgers and weed.' I then found this to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
