Glastonbury Festival 2021 - cancelled
- Thread starter quiet guy
- Start date
The festival was cancelled because of the third lockdown. Then weeks later it was anounced that the lockdown will end on the 21st of June. So the festival could have gone ahead anyway as it is always at the end of June. Most other festivals that start in July and August are still on.

No, Glastonbury takes over a year to put on, there are all sorts of things that need to happen that would be harder to get to happen right now. No one is offering insurance on COVID cancellations. So if it got cancelled that would be it gone forever.
I dispute this now, and have also done so a few times, months back.
Glastonbury in normal (recent) years, has been a city the size of Bath, FFS!
Too big to have been practical at all to run a Glastonbury this year (

It's people like you that are talking this cuntry down. BELIEVE!
Anyway, it's just a few tents in a field, how hard can it be?
I'm probably missing something, but what was this earlier up about being able to see these acts today for nothing ( 
)
Possible or not??

I'm watching it on this link, only works for me on mobile. But yeah, have been watching most of the night for free, kinda like jumping the fence again,

Just looked at the schedule and saw I couldn’t rewind to Wolf Alice who kicked it off, this Honey Dijon isn't really my thing, I'm done for tonight. Will look for the encore tomorrow.
Apart from the IT disaster, though it was really well made, I liked that grainy look they gave it. Hope people don't go all out for refunds.

Cheers. But I have no smartphone sadly -- only a PC (new and fast, mind!), and that link doesn't work on the PC for me

Same, very new MacBook and no dice, phone, no problem.
It's finished now, replaying it tomorrow so if you can find a friend with a smartphone it may work. I imagine after 12 hours to sort themselves out it may not be free to air anymore though.

I don’t think you understand... well, anything.

What would Badgers do?
Yeah, I’m watching the beginning too. I’ll probably re-watch The Smile later as well. Idles are certainly making up for the downbeat stuff later on 
The sets have been great. They’ve all been a bit different and not something that could have been done at an actual festival.

It’s all been decent, but this is definitely the highlight for me

I'm right now, and belatedly, catching up with some Glastonbury gigs -- archive stuff will follow later, but right now I'm picking up on some audienceless material from the "Glastonbury 2021" set of gigs from May (discussed earlier up) .......
I liked the Wolf Alice gig in the Stone Circle a lot!
Mixed feelings about the acts after that so far, but it;s nice to see footage of the site ..... despite me still finding images of an empty Worthy Farm freaky .... ----- disconcerts me
Looking forward though to moving from BBC2 to BBC4 for the Joe Rush documentary at 11:15

And Glastonbury's all about variety/contrast, so getting The Idles followed by Haim is working for me just now ....

Around 16 mins in when they're discussing the problem with punters jumping over the fence, this is the soundtrack:
BBC Music - Glastonbury, 2021, Glastonbury in the 21st Century
Dizzee Rascal tells the story of Glastonbury since 2000.

If its any consolation I was down in the West Country this weekend - and the whole of Sunday it was pissing down with rain - would've been a mudbath.
I've SO got to catch up with some of these documentaries, as well as more old archive gig footageNicely played, BBC.

But tonight, I was concentrating largely on the Joe Rush/Mutoid Waste documentary on BBC4 -- amazing stuff -- check it!!! ..... the (great) Glastonbury parts are towards the end, and with even more fascinating earlier Mutoid history before that!
