Glastonbury 2017

[Guest]

Glastonsbury started to mean more as a trendy 'I did this, I did that' with office suits than 'I loved this band and I loved that band' many years ago.

 

I'm sure there are still festivals that are more about music than image, but Glastonbury certainly isn't among them.

[A Red]

I'd rather saw my arm off than go to Glastonbury, regardless of which artists were on. Fucking hooray henrys running about the place yelping and i dunno something that could rhyme with yelping. Wall to wall welly clad tossers.

Le Guess Who in Utrecht is more my thing these days. Fantastic imaginative line up and it's all in various venues around the city. Great beer and the food isn't overpriced as you can eat and drink anywhere in Utrecht. I used to fly back for Sound City at home when it was doing something similar but it can fuck right off now it's moved down the docks.

Went to the Isle of Wight festival last week and it pisses all over Glastonbury., ok the acts this year weren't top notch (apart from Arcade Fire ) but it's chilled out, usually guaranteed weather and a million times smaller so what's not to like?

I used to enjoy Glastonbury when you'd see naked people walking around not batting an eyelid, stepping over a woman masturbating in the middle of a walkway, when people were so brazen about their drug dealing that they made advertising signs, and you could just climb over the wall and walk in.

 

I don't want to go all "I remember when all this was fields", but I definitely got the (very) back end of the best years.  Now it's another corporate whore.

First time I went I was on the way back from France and we went and had a look at the off chance of getting in. Sat off drinking strong cider and smoking weed while watching some bloke in camo gear including his face paint digging under the fence with an army issue trenching spade thing. After a couple of hours I just started bunking people over. Piece of piss. I offered to bunk him over but he was too into his tunnel so I left him to it and got bunked over myself.

Brilliant festival. I went every year from 06 to 11. Saw people like McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Police, The Sex Pistols... great atmosphere as well never seen a single fight there. Did get soaked a few times mind, one day in particular. Complete wash out.

[Mook]

Sounds like the opposite of T In The Park, guaranteed fight every five minutes and women pissing in clear view of hundreds of people.

 

Basically a festival to celebrate the failure of the human race.

My sister went and jumped the fence.  She landed on a pouch of pills and money.  Good start to the weekend.

That's a festival that needs to ban football colours.

The line up is shit but Glasto isn't about who is playing, it's about being off your barnet at 3am watching some fella licking mud. Gutted I'm not going.

Ive had a look at it and if it was just a music thing i'd be running back and forth from stage to stage so i'm not stuck watching fucking KT Tunstell or some shit. Would have to leave the Foo's before the end to go and catch Fatboy Slim on the Saturday night like. Poor line up though by their standards 

 

T in The Park always has the best line-up but as Mook said, it's a fucking 4 day prison riot. I got into a bit of aggro at Heaton park with 2 scottish lads just before the Roses came on. Both off their faces just barging through people and they walked right into my mate whose got one arm and started laughing at him. I put both my drinks down and squared up to one of them and about 4 massive (dead sound) manc fellas who had been stood next to us just launched them away. Spent the next 20 minutes expecting to feel a blade in my back.

I'd go if I could stay in a nice 4 star hotel serving decent food with clean bogs nearby and get driven in and out each day.

I have other ways of expressing soulfulness than queuing for hours to smell other peoples shit. Like I say I could spend all day there then go home for a good bath. Up early shower shave good shit on a clean bog. Down for a full breakfast , fresh coffee then driven to the place. And repeat. that would be great. or one of these.

Went twice in the 90's before the fence. Couldn't pay me to go these days, full of dickheads wearing festival wristbands and filming everything on their phones.

[Strontium]

Radiohead are the only ones i would get out of bed for.

 

Katy Perry is the only one I would get into bed for.

[Pureblood]

 

Anny Road does Glasto.

[Faustus]

Wow, you're so cool if you dislike Glastonbury.

If that is aimed at me i never once said i dislike Glastonbury. I'd love to go. Concerts are great been to loads over the years. Just dont want to sleep in the venue with the audience afterwards.

[Mook]

Is it not on the telly this year, can't see anything on any of the channels?
