Glastonbury 25

[MichaelDean]

Anyone going? I'll be there for a child free weekend!

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I'm not going but a good friend is doing a didjeridu performance & workshop at 11am on Thursday at Toad Hall in the Green Futures field.

Is this coming up? It's not like the BBC have mentioned it... 

 

#SmashThatCapitalism!

Looking forward to the ton of gear head comments 😄 No, I actually am.

Well I can tell you exactly what I'll be playing and it's not very interesting or original 😂 Fender Japan 60's Classic Precision with LaBella Deep Talkin Flats. Sansamp BDDI, Ampeg Opto Compressor, Boss or MXR Octave and TC Electronic Tuner. Boring but a solid workhorse setup 😂

 

[Lozz196]

Great setup @Linus27, nothing boring there imo.

Yep, it ain't what gear you play, it's how you make it sound that matters, no doubt @Linus27 has got the latter covered 👍

Cheers buddy, thank you for the kind comment 😊

Talking of gear, I hope everybody going will be following Vogue's advice!

I'm ashamed to say I have one thing on their list!

[attackbass]

After two years in a row playing it, I'm very relieved not to be sleeping in a freezing cold, damp tent, zero sleep, desperately trying to keep hold of your your tickets for your gear that youve put in site storage and the either cold or extremely hot showers!!

 

Of course I'll miss the playing and the fun but the rest I do not miss at all!

Is it the bikini top?

No, silly!

It's obviously the Isabel Marant Shirred Paisley-Print Georgette Miniskirt! 

I always go topless at festivals!

 

 

 

 

(actually, it's the toothbrush. Good piece of kit!)

[MichaelDean]

Made it!

[SteveXFR]

My oldest offspring is working in a back stage bar somewhere at Glastonbury. I haven't been for several years but the lineup looks unusually appealing this year.

I'll be at Gary Numan's warmup show of Friday night. Really looking forward to that. We've got a few big warmup shows in town this year.

[KK Jale]

I think I went about 12 years in total spread between 1985 and 2002. Good times.
 

This won't be news to anyone on here, but the Independent has an informative article about how Glasto is squeezing artists and workers.

Well after dropping 600 quid on the skirt I'd asume you'll be going shoeless, pantless and everythign else-less!

@Linus27 caught in the act!

None of them are forced to work or perform there. I'm local to the festival an know loads of people who work there every year. Most do it just for the ticket. My daughter is working for a friend and getting really decent pay but performing for free.

"Critics say bluntly, “Well, nobody’s forcing them”. But test that logic and there is simply no Glastonbury any more. “Unsustainable” is a word used a lot in private. '
