Busy at WG but it's always like that on a Thursday.

Cleaner site over all which is nice ☺️

Definitely agree on the cleaner site, still groups of drunk arseholes leaving loads of cans and cups as they move on but also notice loads of people cleaning up behind that sort before sitting themselves

So weird, last night I just swerved left fr the park to green fields because it was absolute chaos, looked like most of the festival was in there

Yeah I only arrived tonight and walked to the far side with the quieter bar. Place on benches and everything, whereas the other bars with more stuff happening were of course very busy

[Mr. B]

Everything so busy! Noticing through extra tickets

Silver hayes has improved a lot. The new WOW is something straight out of houghton/gottwood and lonley hearts club is a welcome addition. Sherelle there was fantastic vibes.

Showers at Kidz Field are rammed. In 2019 we were getting up at 6:30 and waiting no more than 20 mins. Today the queue is as long at 7am as it was at lunchtime yesterday

My mates company did the design / build, will pass on the feedback 👌

Great day yesterday. But everywhere with music was rammed. Guess it's to be expected. Be interesting to see how busy it is today with the main stages open 

[garc1a]

There are more joggers first thing in the morning 

[Pinhead]

It does seem v much busier, or is it just me after 3 years since the last... dunno

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Classic.

[HomicidalGoat]

Park for Wet Leg was insane. Route up ground down to total halt at times.  Can't remember a Park set packed like this?

[Peroni]

The Wood chipper machine is clearly broken... paths full of logs.  I've rolled over a number of times 🤣

[robin]

Don't think the site overall is especially busy, just the lack of entertainment on Thursday meant lots of people going to the same areas. Previously when there wasn't any entertainment people were more spread out and entertaining themselves. 

 

I noticed on the tshirt and official twitter that they are referring to the festival being 5 days long (22nd - 26th) and the Friday as being day 3. Previously the Friday would have always been called day 1 and the dates would have been 24th - 26th.

Lost my phone last night, some bloke picked it up and kept it charged until we called this morning to come collect it.

Told him if he sees me at any point he has a free drink token from me, and if you’re on here mate thank you very much (even though our campsites quite literally could not have been further apart)!

[kalifire]

TLC went the way of Mel C. Feels like they’ve dropped the ball on who should play what stage - lots of people are getting crowded out of sets they want to see.

Someone handed my phone in yesterday, people can be amazing!

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Might be my memory is wrong but is the screen right of Pyramid blocking the usual view of the Tor?

[kalifire]

Wet Leg into Confidence Man was one long party. Amazing crowd for both, brilliant scenes. Friday has peaked.

Yeah Wolf Alice had a relatively poor crowd, think people were at TLC. (Wolf Alice were amazing though!)

[benc]

Queues for food are massive in some places - longer than normal  

[zahidf]

The beer selection is AWFUL. Nothing different or interesting.

[Matt42]

Wet leg should not have been on the park. Largest crowd I’ve ever seen there. With no screens a few of my mates sacked it off.

We got there 30 mins before and ended up miles up the hill. No chance of getting a decent spot. 

Realistically they should have been 4th down Other.

With crowd management and stage placement as dreadful as it is this year, I’m now accepting that getting a decent place at anywhere even semi popular means seeing at least half of the act before.

Glass Animals into Olivia Rodrigo tomorrow is going to result in battle wounds.
