One change I'd make to the festival is....

[Leyrulion]

Imagine you suddenly find yourself with 18 months to plan the festival and you're given the chance by Emily Eavis to make one change. What are you going to do?

New layout? New areas? Vegan only Thursdays? 

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Revamp Silver Hayes. That is all.

[henry bear]

[dentalplan]

NO FLAGS

[carrie2]

No end date 

[Andy0808 v5]

No camping chairs within a 250m radius of the pyramid stage.

On a similar theme, I’ll have it as Stephen King’s The Dome....but without the murder and mayhem!

Is this to keep people out or keep people in? 🤣

As in line up or location?

Finally build the monorail

I’d second that. Hate trying to enjoy a performance with six camp chairs arranged in a circle in front of me with their occupants showing no interest in what’s happening on stage and instead discussing where to get the best rates for their ISAs.

That sounds horrible! Really awful. What was the consensus?

The layout. Ditch Sonic. In fairness the lineup is quite varied but it's arguably the least creative area of festival to a certain extent

The blues is good but that’s about it. I think being the most flat part of the festival with hardly any horizon on show makes it seem quite bleak, or like any other festival like Reading etc.

Do something about the litter.

Abolishing single use cups. Either the metal souvenir cups or a deposit system.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Let my brother and I run a late night SE corner micro-venue themed around the music of Jim Steinman.

[stuartbert two hats]

Do something about the bins. Especially at W Holts. Maybe dig some holes in the ground and collect them at night. Or maybe massive underground skips that are emptied once a festival.

Or have some backstage storage and collect bins more frequently without causing extra site traffic during the day.

We've all got a late night venue idea in us....

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I would have pint/cider only queues in some of the busier bars.

More applicable for hot years, but there is nothing worse than queueing half an hour in 50 degree heat for a cold pint, only for it to take precisely two seconds to hand you one of the pre-poured ones.

Why not?

Everything is permitted

The Pilton Building Society for the permanently skint 

[SheffJeff]

This has probably been discussed before but I've always found the sound from the other stage utter dog shit. I'm sure there must be something they could do about it.

The bleed from the glade is actually quite bad.
