I may have to put this thread on ignore. My niece is getting married on friday of Glasto 2010 and so I can't go :(

that means you've only got 9 months or so to pick a fight, take umbridge and then disown her so you'd better get your skates on.

Sound advice! All weddings should be BANNED over Glastonbury weekend :mad:.

Or indeed at any festival weekend between May and September :p
 
i swear it should be a gap year net year:confused:

The next gap year was due to be 2011 (fallow year every four years and that).

But not many seem to have picked up on Michael Eavis's announcement earlier this year that the next gap year will be 2012 (Olympic year).

So we'll get an extra one after 2010 :cool:
 
Still the best weekend of the year. Glasto number 10 for me so I'll be a proper veteran & everything. Tortlet Snr is coming along to find out what all the fuss is about too!

Excellente, though I never expected any different :) :cool:

Make sure to come and ask us proper veterans ;) :p questions on the Info desk if you get confused about anything mind :D
 
Hopefully will be working for Oxfam again... It'll be my last one for a few years too as I'm off to NZ next aug.
 
First went 1995, last went the first year with the big fence, 2002 was it?

Old school then :)

Lots has changed since 1995 for sure, and even since 2002 to be fair. I'm no fan of all the changes. But not all the changes have been negative either,. still plenty of good places and stuff to be found ...... like all big cities there are good and worse bits ....

2002 is generally regarded as the worst Glastonbury, it had the fence but hadn't adjusted to the impact that would have, so it was all very sanitised. It's improved year on year since then

I'm sure you're right, but it's changed too much for me to bother again.
 
woooosh....

glasto 2010 thread already, im defo in the veteran camp now.. first year was around '91 been to most since.

I would like to work at it again.. i really enjoyed that experience, last year being one of the top glastos ive had. Ill still register for a ticket non the less.

Funnily enough I really enjoyed 2002. From Camp Urban in that little triangular field to Faithless’ seminal set on the Pyramid I’d rank it as one of my favourite years.
 
I went twice in the early 90's and have been the to the last two, its different but still rate it, I help a mate on a stall so there is the bonus of having fry ups and making are own cocktails. Definitely spend more time away from the main stages and large it up in the smaller venues. The only thing that slightly annoys is the sound of all nitros people at the stone circle, its not even proper drugs and has hardly any effect on me. Highlight last year was some old school looking people rig up a human catapult and launch water bombs at people sitting up there, twas prper medieval
 
Camp Urban in 2002 really was great :) , and I found the absence of ultra crowdedness a relief -- some of the crowds in 2000 were scary. (Plenty of partying in the chaos that year mind! :p )

I have a good time every year though (Mudbath 2007 possibly excepted ;) :hmm: ) and I agree with El Jefe that loads of things since 2002 have been great and ever improving :cool:

was around 1991 i said, i cant remember exact year. ive done a google on it to see who played what year...

carter and blur definately were there, must have been 92. was before i was 18. that much i definately know. all the years blurred into one in the early days, that much so i imagined i was there when no one else was, guestimate el jeffrey :)

a lot of the early ones i went to merge into one in my memory.. i wonder why...
that makes me a n00b! then ill take that title!
 
:D

BTW 1991 was a fallow year ...... ;)

:D

aye, spotted that when i done a google! :) first year was before my 18th, had to make it 92... first few years were absolutely crazy, to the point of dangerous at times. 94 and 95 stick in my mind very clearly. one had the sealed off area after a shooting in the market area, things were getting well dodgy at times with the shady people hanging around (or so i perceived them to be at the time :) ).. the prodigy done a set that blew me away, jilted generation stuff .. and we just walked in were the fence had been pulled down.

Can anyone remember what year it was that they "NME" stage had a banner down it saying "one foot in the rave"? or am i just totally imagining that?
to the next year of Leftfield "release the pressure" and "space shanty" being blared out every PA so it seemed and dance music everywhere!
1993/4?
