SuperBacon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 People who moan about Glastonbury, either the music or it being full of the middle classes or Tories, are boring. I'd love to go, it's the only big festival I've never been to, and the kids would love it... ...however they really don't help themselves sometimes. Imagine how shit it would be to do PE with Joe Wicks at Glastonbury. Have a day off guys. Unless they're all on drugs. Then it's probably quite decent to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted June 23, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2023 I can't stand it. Ruins 6 Music for about a month between ads and shite live versions of songs every half hour. Plus all the roads round my neck of the woods all get jammed. Fucking ban it.

Paid Members gmoney Posted June 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2023 I don't go around moaning about it like a arsehole all the time, but since you brought it up it's on my Shit for Cunts list. I hate camping, pricks on drugs, the sound at most festivals, and as I don't drink any more I can't see anyway that I could possibly enjoy it even slightly. But I'm happy for the people that love it.

SuperBacon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I'll be honest, there is zero chance of me ever camping again, so if I do ever go, I'm going full on "winnebago wanker"Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarlettChad Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I've always heard Download is less Tories tbf. I mean yeah, doing PE at a music festival? What? Anyone that's been to both, which is better to avoid middle class twats at? Edited June 23, 2023 by TheScarlettChad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2023 I had a great time at Glasto in 2005, it wasn't quite too busy, albeit rather muddy. 2007 was so busy though, and horrendously muddy. I still enjoyed it, especially the secret Madness gig, but it felt like another huge step towards Glastonbury becoming a huge corporate entity as opposed to a big festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted June 23, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I did enjoy it when they wheeled out the Bee Gee for the old duffers set a few years back. That was good fun to watch. I'd be well gutted if I'd spent a bunch of money with great expectation and ended up with 2023 Guns N Roses and Elton fucking John as the weekend headliners.

SuperBacon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Yeah probably to be honest. I can't stress how much I hate camping. Edit: those choices of beer though. Jesus. Edited June 23, 2023 by SuperBacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted June 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, SuperBacon said: I'm going full on "winnebago wanker" I had a chat with someone at small festival when I was setting my van up and they were genuinely aghast that I had just a bed and fridge on wheels. No toilet, no microwave, no working sink. What started the next chat was me washing in a bucket outside (shorts on, I'm not getting my nob out in a crowd without prior approval) which I considered perfectly normal but was apparently living like some feral beast. Edit: I love camping. I've got a couple of old primas stoves I use and escaping to nowhere is my dream, so doing it when I can is great. When I finally go over the top I'll be living in the woods poaching until they find me. Edited June 23, 2023 by Tommy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I'll be honest, I was a bit hasty in saying full winnebago wanker, but I'd at least need a bed, a working shower and a toilet. I have really bad skin so a day without a proper wash/shower is genuinely disastrous to be honest. And a toilet to myself as, well, I like pooing in peace. I'm glad you enjoy camping, and I've been loads of times, festivals and other, but it's just not for me, for the aforementioned reason really.

King Mal the Glorious Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I've reached the age where slumming it in a tent in a field for a few days at a festival is a bit of a struggle (more due to the heat than anything else), but beds and "glamping pods" etc just feels 'wrong' for a festival.

But I think that’s the only way I’d actually enjoy a festival now. I couldn’t think of anything worse than sleeping in a tent these days. My girlfriend has been on at me the past couple of years about going Download or Glastonbury and it’s a no from me unless we fork out for glamping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to sleep in a warm comfy bed, have a buffet brekkie and take ourselves away from the festival when needed made it feel less like you'd been to battle at the end. Only way I'd do a big festival again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
