Michael Kiwanuka is really good too. Caught him on the west holts a few years ago and we saw him at RAH.

£18.99 for a bloody chair?
'16 & '17 used £1.99 camper chairs bought in a shop in Ajman. Each one lasted a day & placed in the “recycling” bin each evening so didn’t have to lug the fvcking think up the hill out of there each night.
This year am reusing my original bought 10 years ago Coleman £5. Solid as a bloody rock & now doing its 5th festival
I love the Park. This looks a very nice line-up. I’ll have to listen to some of it in the coming month to fully enjoy it, but Cat Power is a fantastic vocalist no matter what she’s singing. Hot Chip are a bit middle class for me, but not too middle class.
Will take @Goatboy’s recommendations on board but yeah, I am off to see IDLES, and the only reason I got into them was because it was rumoured they were playing the Park on Friday night.
The circle is complete

Killers, if only to escape the prospect of Marti Pellow.
Given the name of the band he used to front, I don’t think he should be allowed anywhere near Glastonbury. Why tempt fate?

I’ll tell thee, if Foals play a secret gig it’ll be the best of the weekend, that band is on fire at the moment.
Foals played in 2016. Wouldn’t mind them as a secret gig, but I’d prefer to see the Strokes make a return. Better tunes for a festival, imo.
Either way can not wait for Glastonbury/
Oh.
Thank
God…
So, mate 2 used to have a VW T2 campervan, was perfect. He sold it, but no worries as his brother agreed to lend us his newer T3 all singing all dancing luxury van.
Except, that was a conversion and nuilt with an all singing all dancing portable put outside kitchen & washing area.
Which actually broke the Campervan Field specs (must have built in facilities to stop people sleeping in unsafe White Vans. That gave us a BIG risk factor - ie getting denied access and not having the portable kit to camp inside.
Anyway, just had news the Brother has an old T2 - he’s got it working, it still has an MOT and we are good to go. He even ran it for two hours to simulate a traffic jam and it was fine.
So no longs drops for us praise be to the big man upstairs, you can hear the cleaning crews at 7am doing the portaloos and have if you are there by 07:15 you can have the luxury of a non stinky crap.
Happy days.
Now for a Leisure battery & a portable fridge and it wiil be luxury
You pampered youngsters and your home comforts. For the '69 IOW Festival I had a combat jacket and a large piece of polythene to sleep beneath. Catering consisted of a small Blewit Gas burner, a small saucepan and two tins of baked bean with mini sausages for the weekend. Home comforts consisted of my own roll of shiney Izal bog paper.

True, but that ain’t a real option when you’re 60 with buggered knees & sciatica

My first Glastonbury trip consisted of one of those army surplus sleeping bags with sleeves, you could unzip the bottom of it and wear it like a coat. No ticket. Plenty of bravado. Happy days.

But in some ways I’m slumming it this time, all my previous Glastos I was coming from Dubai so had between 30 & 46kg + unlimited weight carry-ons.
This year, Ryanair 20kg & a small bag.
Our biggest worry this year is the VW doesn’t have a Leisure Battery or a fridge, so Powerbanks & no full English.
Glasto with no full English? That’s like Glasto without Status Quo…
Or it could be edgy.
Heinz beans & sausage from breakfast, having to use coffee mate.
Oh yeah
