Shangri La Thursday night

[slats]

On the Wednesday and Thursday I normally just wander around, have a sing song at a wine bar or spend time at the stone circle, so have never tried to venture down to the naughty corner..

Is it completely closed down on the Wednesday and Thursday or are little bits of the area still open for a mooch round?

I'm sure Shangri-La is closed but the unfairgrounds and Block 9 are open on the Thursday?

[slats]

Cool thanks, never been to either of those I don't think, hardly ever spent anytime in that area as the queues always put me off a little,

Going to try and get down there a lot more this year

Shangri La opens on Thursday evening. Had an excellent time in The Snake Pit last time.

Shangri la starts on Thursday, not in full swing

I think Wednesday it is shut and then thursday is all go

I think almost everything is open this year isnt it. Shangri La, etc were all open last Thursday, although Arcadia wasnt 'fired up' until Friday. This year they are firing Arcadia up on Thursday night as well, so everything will be open I reckon

[slats]

Awesome, thanks all... Didn't know Arcadia was open on a Thursday either

[dingbat2]

Is it even busier than usual on a Thursday with most other things being closed?

[caroldecker]

It didnt seem so last year, the site is so big, and there are still so many bars / live stuff going on all around the site. And loads of people stay at the campsite as well on Thursday - others are still pitching up or havent even arrived by then (not many though)..Although I was clearly worse for wear on Thursday last time, I am sure it was far busier Friday onwards - you had to queue to get in the naughty corner on Friday onwards , but I cannot recall Thursday queuing to get in Shangri La at all. Probably helped by Arcadia not being on on Thursday night, and a lot of people chilling out in places like the Stone Circle on Thursday

Thats my Thursday night sorted then!

... this was posted earlier re Arcadia

They have also been given the honour of kick starting the festival proceedings on Thursday night! Their show will start at 9.30pm so festival goers are encouraged to arrive nice and early to the sound field and ensure the ultimate Arcadia experience.

On the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the 'Arcadia Spectacular' showcase will explode from midnight, after The Other Stage finishes and treat the Glastonbury crowds to three solid hours of unadulterated, out-of-this-world fire shows and bass pounding DJs. Arcadia will also host performances from a selection their international collaborators; element manipulators The Lords of Lightning and the thrilling display of the ultimate in fire art - the amazing (seriously) Fire Tornado.

Where's Bangface gone

[knivesout]

i hope that the arcadia move will draw a sizeable proportion away from the south east corner , woudln't want a repeat of those saturday night queues from 2011

Snake Pit is pretty cool.

futuristic, very sexualised, poll dancers, rubber, that kind of thing (if I remember correctly, which I hope, because its going to be weird if I got that wrong)

Thursday was my fave of the 3 times I went to the naughty corner in 2011. Less busy but still a good crowd and everyone was in a good mood with it being the first proper night

Is Bez's Acid House open on the Thurs? Checked last time's clashfinder but surprised that this stage wasn't on there. Quite fancy getting up there before he goes AWOL. If not the Snake Pit sounds decent!

[matthewsdad1968]

I also love going to the silent disco on the thursday night

[caroldecker]

Pretty much bang on. Pole dancers in gas masks and banging techno music (I think). Quite a small place and you need a tattoo (real or temporary) to get in.

I've been to te bangface party the last couple of year, I'm guessing thats gone in favour of Arcadia. Shame I love to start the festival off with a bit of gabba

[rexclark]

Damn... Im the only one in my group thats tattooed.... Ill have to take a marker pen and draw on all my friends. Maybe Ill draw willies on them.

Thursday was always Baggy Mondays at the Stonebridge but may have to go naughty corner this time round.
