More excited about Glasto this year than I have ever been before! Am I alone in this?

[matthewsdad1968]

This is my 11th festival now and I worked at the Olympics last year and I have never been so excited about anything as much as this year.

Its been 2 long years without the freedom of the festival and its not only my honeymoon but my wife to be`s first glasto. Also 2 of my all time favourite acts The Stones and Chic are playing. I am driving all my work mates, Facebook friends and family all mad with my daily count down, I really cant wait!!!

Why would you say such a thing?!

[Midnight Man]

Didn't much enjoy 2011, for all sorts of reasons, so really looking forward to putting that behind and getting back to the Pilton Paradise

Because when I look back at 28 Glasto's there has been more wet ones than dry ones so while no one knows for certain - the odds are it will not be dry.

I used to drive there and it would be a nice dry drive from London but as I got closer the weather would change - its just a fact of life - there is nothing you or I can do about it.

I think if I've had a great festival the year before it makes me more excited for the next one ......for various reasons (not connected to the festival) 2009 wasn't the best for me......therefore I went in 2010 with not much expectation and had the best time of my life and rate it as my all time best festival experience .

Also I think the fallow year adds to it as well!!

I'm excited but not giddy excited as I was for 2011.....I'm sure it will come as it gets 2/3 weeks until the festival and friends who are coming (and don't obsess on forums like I do) start talking about it, TV/radio start talking about it etc.

For me it's been a long slog since I left in 2011, so much of my like has changed and some not for the best but the 2013 festival marks, what I really hope to be, a huge up turn in fortune in so many things. Plus on the 1st of July I will (fingers crossed) have my PGCE confirmed and will signal the start of a major new chapter in my life. Without doubt a route I didn't expect to be on when I left in 2011.

Glastonbury 2013 can't come soon enough and I for one have never ever been this excited for a festival !!!!!!

I have done 5 and 4 of those have had significant rain, yet I am so up for it this year. I think the fallow year is the reason why.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I too am hugely excited, more so than ever before It will be my fifth year but my first after a fallow one so I think that's it. Also loving the line-up and one of my best friends will be turning 30.

The fact I'm so excited this year is the reason I've become slightly obsessed with this forum. Had only been a casual lurker before but that's changed. Mainly because I'm that much more excited than my friends and need a place to vent! That and, you know, work boredom.

[Peroni]

I feel the same as OP... Can't describe it but this year feels like it will be epic... Got some newbs in our group as well, so that helps to build the excitement as they start to get prepared...

[Bathimp]

Great OP

Very excited. The older I get the more it means to me to get away from it all and misbehave. Whatever that means.

Will be like a kid in a sweetshop from Weds midday onwards

Particularly looking forward to Weds and Thursday without the restrictions of seeing bands.

The Eaviis know how to throw a great party and this year will be one of the best.

[Bigjonyr]

I get massive goosebumps everytime I even think about Glasto!! I'm well up for a massive one!!

[grumpyhack]

I tend to be pessimistic and set myself a lot of hurdles to prevent getting excited in case of disappointment - like will be I lucky getting a ticket.

But as slowly the hurdles are overcome the excitement builds.

At the moment I'm at "know on paper I've got a ticket but won't be real till Mr Postie delivers it".

After that you'll hear all the whoop, whoops and there will be no stopping me.

Im excited to the point of hysteria. I feel like I really need it. its been a rough year!

[LondonTom]

Even though most of my friends have pulled out & there aren't that many bands I am desperate to see... I can't wait. More exploring & listening to new bands this year.
