redrog Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 There are too many tickets sold Secret sets are shite unless there are genuinely secret The music after midnight is mostly shite Pennard Hill is literally the worst place to camp Men: putting glitter on your face / flowers in your hair doesn’t make you a hippy it makes you a twat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes obviously there’s going to be an atmosphere there. I’m saying more in terms of acts throughout the day compared to if they were playing R&L etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 1. Secret sets with huge acts on tiny stages, which don't stay secret anyway, could make thousands more people happy if they'd just been included on a bigger stage. They could still retain their "secrecy" if anyone believes that actually happens anymore. 2. SEC was better with Lost Vagueness. 3. I'd like them to return to the days of having sub-200k attendees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1990 Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 The dripping out of the line up every few days with yet another poster of smaller stages is dull and unnecessary, just bring it out all in one go. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 The festival is oversold - reduce capacity by 10,000 at least Merch designs are terrible I've never understood the fuss over some of the quirky heritage acts who largely play the same set each year Names for most of the areas lack imagination Glastonbury-on-Sea should've been a one-and-done Arcadia has become stale The South East corner creatively peaked in 2011 Still by far the best week of the year by a mile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this comes form 1998 being my first festival, it's never muddy like it was then these days - literally seas of mud absolutely everywhere. Rain can sod off though, mud's ok but rain is just depressing. Somebody call? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain can sod off though, mud's ok but rain is just depressing. What a load of old nonsense. I once had a debate with someone who claimed that muddy years are more fun. They're not, they're a logistical nightmare: harder and slower to move round site, can't just plonk your arse anywhere, vehicle movement is problematic and dangerous, etc Also a little bit of rain, preferably between about 7am and 10am is good, it keeps the dust down and freshens things up a bit. As long there's not enough to make it muddy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrobrob Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Turn the internet off. Texting and calls - fine. Logging onto emails and BBC just block it.. Reduce the capacity SE corner is too busy to be any sort of fun after midnight Park stage area is poorly set out 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 You’re not supposed to be doing Glastonbury year after year. If it feels samey, you’re going too much. Having ones own fallow year every now and then is good for deepening ones appreciation of the festival. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
