Plus these days about 90% of all the ticketholders turn up by late evening Wednesday. Generally only folks who a. havent got a clue that there's stuff to do cos they think the festival is just about the music or b. really cant get the time off turn up on the Friday.

Ask yourself why are the car parks opening on Tuesday evening?

Reason...cos everyone wants to be there for doors open on Wednesday to get as much physical partying done before the music starts on Friday...and the music starts on Thursday these days anyway!

It'll take you 2 days to get your bearings if it's your first time, so just wonder round and relax. You can be on site for 5 days and still not see everything, it's enormous!

Don't forget England are playing on the Wednesday so it'll be a party in front of the Pyramid!!

It always amazes me how quickly Wednesday and Thursday go. It really is nice to be there, get your bearings, have a wonder, check out what's going on around site and just relax. As much as I love the music from Friday through to Sunday, those first two days are possibly my favourite part of Glastonbury. It's the one time each year I really feel relaxed!

Definitely worth going down for the Wednesday.

Nothing at all, arrive the Friday and avoid the queues

Aye with me down the front in my kilt!

[Kyelo]

If there is anywhere you could turn up to an England game in a kilt, it would be Glastonbury!

True that, although if they do get defeated I wouldn't wana stand around praising the gods! Might get attacked by the flag bearers!

I always think of it as two festivals. A couple of days of bimbling, taking in the sights and then the second festival with music. In many ways the first is better - more chilled, not following a timetable of what band starts when.

Without the first few days it would just be another music fest. The first couple of days make Glasto so special.

^^^ what they said

i was chatting to one of my friends earlier about this and we both agreed that those couple of days are at least as good as the music days. Last year on the Friday morning we agreed we had already had such a great time we could go home and feel we had got good value for money!!

[Joshuwarr]

Lets not forget that theres loads of music on the Thursday!

theres always dance stages open and the Queens Head

[Savy]

i agree also there is music if thats wot your looking for every thing is starting earlier every year ive been 12 years in row and still dont do or see every thing every one i want to ITS GREAT

[HurrahBrother]

Yep, turn up Wednesday or Thursday, it will take you a day to get your bearings. Bars open Wednesday afternoon/evening, so do a number of the smaller venues. At least part of the dance field opens up Thursday evening. You'll find places you want to come back to.
