'Virtual Glastonbury'? Anyone missing the real thing?

[Notafettler]

No argument on Leonard Cohen, love his music, but his misery-soaked reputation is unfounded. There is great wit and mischieviousness in his lyrics.

Must be his voice then

Cancelled again for 2021.
The reality of the vaccinations is that many restrictions will still happen well into the summer.

Can't believe I got a ticket in Oct 2019 and 'may' get to go in June 2022 , fingers crossed some of the later festivals go ahead, doubtful though. Much more important things to consider i know, but would have been a blast!

If I want to play about in mud, I go down my allotment and have the radio on .

The festival industry is huge. All the suppliers and employees needed to run these huge events. If Glastonbury is cancelled then others will follow soon.

Go sit in a muddy field when it’s tipping it down and put some tunes on.

Yes, I appreciate all that , it's just the ridiculously over the top hype of it all and the BBC's arslikhan that gets my goat.

We don't really do mud at 'Off The Tracks'

It was sunburn not mud that was the problem and I have been four times
Why do the press love showing pictures of a muddy Glasto?
Now V Fest 2008 ... absolute mud-fest. I couldn't see The Verve it was raining that hard

 

[Grant Fondo]

Ticket in the bank for next year, so not all doom and gloom. Cheers all

What on earth was I thinking when I started this thread? Must remember to caveat with, *'barring a global pandemic' next time.

It's the biggest/most-respected long-running festival in ... well possibly the world. So "over the top hype" would be something to see.
Probably also the most diverse big event (I have no interest in JayZ, but folks get that option). I enjoy attending small specialist festivals, but they will never have the sheer range of .... stuff (comedy, yoghurt-knitting, meditation, axe-juggling, things I don't know the proper name for ...etc ...)

Personally I really enjoy the BBC coverage (even though I've never attended); it conveys a really NICE atmosphere, I can happily spend several June nights watching these other people having fun
