Epic fail

Looks amazing compared to the usual scene of exactly the same but every tent is underwater

There is no way on this earth I would be there unless I was glamping to the max... Which comes with its own sorts of asshole. Like me.

The Workers' Beer Co staff camping was a lot more sane when I went. Also, cheap bar and canteen and clean showers and toilets.

Staff camping ruined me and it's the bare minimum I'd require to go these days

since Glastonbury is on here

Glastonbury tried to book a friend of mine to play a peak time (midnight or 1am) set at Arcadia this year. He turned it down because they wouldn't give him guest tickets for his wife or his roadies. To be fair, they offered him on site assistance for any stuff he needed doing.

He's middle aged and ten years ago would have done anything to play that stage at that time. I guess we all get to an age where we can't be arsed to slum it anymore. He's playing in a club in Graz in Austria instead. The promoters have put on a nice hotel room for him.

Nice hotel room in Graz > staff camping at glasto.

Old but good ; Labour MP does entire interview about supporting National Fetish Day whilst obviously not knowing what a fetish is.

Pretty much, the 1st year I went was without a tent and just a change of pants and socks, 40 quid and a healthy bag of drugs. That idea fills me with absolute dread nowadays

A change of pants and socks?! Luxury.

I know, didn't even use the socks in the end. Boots got so caked in mud I couldn't take them off so left them on for 3 days and got trenchfoot

and cockrot?

Probs got lots of fresh air

From the metro story last page, who brings a guitar to Glastonbury...

Probably a lot of the bands do :-)

I bet he can’t even play Wonderwall

Maybe he can play some Ed Sheeran though.

Ha! If you think that's bad a mates mate's band is playing and they didn't give them enough tickets for all of them.

That's amazing. Although quite sad.

Anyone that takes an acoustic guitar to a festival that isn’t being paid for it should be made to eat it before they leave. Leave no trace.

Unless they’re using it to smuggle drugs in. Natch.

A precious Glastonbury memory of mine is a guy following an acoustic guitar douchebag around the stone circle at 4am on the Monday morning just shouting “NO!” at him any time he tried to play a note. Kind of aggressive but the guitar douche was on his own just going up to groups and playing his wanky shite uninvited.

A few years ago I took a mate to 2000 Trees and he turned up at mine with a small bag containing a pair of socks and a puncture outfit.

my kind of hero

What was the puncture kit for? In case he got a hole in the single rubber jonny in his wallet?

There was also a dude selling swigs of vodka for a quid in order to afford a bus ticket home up there, having lost or disregarded all of his belongings prior to Monday morning. Fair dos, but when he came to my mate and I we declined but got talking to him. “What’s in the bottom of the bottle there fella?” I enquired on spotting a little sphere of something. “Ear wax” was his deadpan reply.
