I bumped into Luke M @ glasto watching Steel Pulse. I asked him about what Reggae there was and he would only confirm Damien Marley. Kicking myself I didn't ask about the prodigy 🤦♂️ I'm a doughnut sometimes

Ahem...can't say I didn't scrutinise some tickets more than others. Also, the ONLY ones where the ID didn't match (or was questionable) were from the same place, then thankfully it wasn't my decision as they get passed onto the supervisor or gate manager. The fact they didn't kick off at me when scrutinising was very telling I thought... Anyway I can say all this stuff because I'm from around here and know for a fact how many "find a way". On a general thing, I chatted to some of the security at the gate and they had been working at a gig I was at the week before. I'm wondering if they were applying the same standards they do at normal gigs (keep all drugs out etc) to Glastonbury? -

Everything on PGC was ramped up this year. Spending ages checking photos against faces, asking people to put their arms up to check wristbands, 3 wristband checks before showing ticket/passout and 1 more after for luck, narrowing the fence gap where they do the wristband checks so nobody can rush the gate and doing more bag checks. Got me feeling they are really trying to clamp down of fake tickets/wristbands, people using other peoples' tickets and that they may suspect that PGC is an avenue for contraband entering the site. I don't think anyone should be annoyed at any of these measures though. -
In previous years you could wander into those fields and still make time to see your favourite large act no matter what stage they were playing on. If the future going to be that you need to get to each stage an hour before the act is on to avoid stage closures/route closures/crushes then obviously the things that people previously dipped in and out of will suffer reduced footfall the most. This is the first year where I really felt like I didn't do very much of that wandering at all - to be fair it was the latest we ever arrived on Wednesday, and with Skream & Benga at 6pm being one of three non-negotiable acts over the entire weekend, my usual Wednesday/Thursday bimble was cut into, but even still, on Friday once I saw West Holts was closed we didn't bother heading over that way at all as figured there would be one way in operation all nearby so that was another day we didn't go anywhere near it. By Saturday Sunday we weren't risking anything, which is very unlike our typical Glasto go-with-the-flow ethos
