Yea the PodPads on WV also need you to bring your own sleeping bags etc as I was mailing them today... was hoping they would have something fully kitted out but unfortunitly not..

If anyone knows of any that at WV that come fully furnished let me know or anywhere like this on the site..

Thanks

All options bar scout-tents and Bellepads as far as I'm aware come with some sort of bedding.. like an air / foam mattress but you'll need to bring sleeping bag.

Bellepads will not include camp beds or air mattresses. They will include a heavy groundsheet and carpet. You will need to bring your own campbed or air mattresses and bedding.

Bunkpads and Octopads will not be supplied with 240v electricity. They will come with wooden beds and foam mattresses. The Octopads will come with 4 wooden beds with 2 airbeds.

Podpads will come with raised beds and air mattresses to suit. There will be no 12v electric in the podpads, please bring a torch with you.

TF definitely much closer than the pop up hotel. Looked at the bedouin tents there ourselves for next year longingly but with going to new York this month couldn't afford or justify the cost so will be doing general camping again but just planning it a bit better. Helps that I got general tickets rather than coach for the first time.

You could go the Card Tent?

Ok so she really confused me with this email and I thought for me to get a fully furnished BunpkPad or Octopad I would need a " hospitality " ticket but I get it now.. All I'll need to do is select a bedding package when booking it..

Cheers lads all helped ðŸ‘ðŸ¼


"If you are staying at Worthy View, then the options are as described below – this is to try and keep the costs down. If you are able to secure Hospitality Tickets, then are more options available. Hospitality tickets aren’t on sale until next year and accommodation will probably be made available early next year."

Do you have a list of the options. I'd be keen to do fully furnished at WV too.

Go onto PodPads website and email them and they will email you back same day with the different options they have..

Didn't realise that was a separate company handling those pads. Might ask for some more images of the interior of some of their options too.

On a unrelated note I was delighted to see the rumblings about daft punk doing a 2017 Alive tour and thought they would be a shoe in for a headline slot.

Then I saw that there are some hidden coordinates in a potential tour website inferring a London date as opposed to Glastonbury.

Hang onto your knickers. You're in for a long ride cos the latest rumour is Robbie Williams. Although its not even a rumour its just stupid speculation at the moment. Le sigh

I know, I know.

I really shouldn't be getting lured into any sort of speculation this early.

At at the end of the day I can live with 3 headliners I've no time for.

Robbie Williams
Kasabian
Depeche Mode

There's a strongly rumoured trio that would be tough to swallow.

Fixed that for ya.

To be honest, 4th time next year and still haven't seen a headliner. Pyramid is one of my least favourite places to be. Although I would like to see something I love cos its quite the spectacle by all accounts with the right act.

Basq

To be honest, I've had a look at that page and the coordinates in the source. And while I reckon there's truth to them touring next year (Dafdendirekt 97, Alive 07) - given how secretive Glastonbury are around headliners, maybe they simply asked not it to be published there. The source isn't exactly cryptic.

That's what I hope anyways.. would much rather them than practically all the headliners I've heard so far! *

^^^^ no idea what you linked above cos its HUGE and not clickable but nah. Unlikely. Glastonbury runs like clockwork (storms aside) and AXL is not known for his time keeping abilities.

There are a few people on efests who have paid their week on bookies odds. Bookies might know horses but they dont know Glastonbury.

Yup, that's a valid enough point. It would seem like a massive missed opportunity if it didn't happen.

Combine that with a 20th anniversary of radioheads first headline slot and I couldn't care less about the rest of the line up.

I'm rarely at the pyramid stage but there's is something special about the right band putting in a big performance on that stage.

MadYaker

Glasto headliners get paid around £200k, the Roses wouldn't do it for double that. You can forget about Kasabian and Robbie as well. It's likely going to be 3 of Stone Roses, Radiohead, Ed Sheeran, Daft Punk. At the moment they look the most likely.

ghostdancer

Depeche Mode are playing elsewhere in Europe that weekend, so won't be playing.

Robbie Williams is just some nonsense hysteria from people on efestivals in the last 24hrs based on zero evidence which has gotten out of hand. no chance he's headlining.

not sure why Kasabian are being ruled out. previous headliners, new album out. plenty of other equally dreadful acts have done it.

I do get caught up in the headliners hype, and do sometimes feel disappointed with the selections.. but to be honest, odds are I'll be at The Other Stage regardless!

Hi everyone we have more or less decided to book pod pads for next year, it's our first year going to glastonbury so gonna splash out. Have never done anything like that for a festival!

Could anyone let me know what worthy view is like? Is it far from the festival etc

Chelon

Anyone booking a ferry, couple of tips. Book Stena Line and select "Hotel break" package rather than the ferry. This way you get one night in a hotel included and the total price works out cheaper anyway, sometimes much cheaper. We stayed in a hotel near Swansea last time and drove on to Glasto in the morning, but you could select a hotel anywhere or on the way back as well.

Also pay the few quid extra for a flexi ticket, can come in handy as we found out when the camper broke down 20 mins after leaving the site...

They're on the left of this pic. Miles away from some of the stages really. On top of a hill. Which you have to walk up obviously. Theres far better things to be doing that spending hours throughout the week hiking up there. Theres queues for showers and the toilets too.

My advice would be get a nice tent and camp in Hitchin Hill or Michaels Mead. Making it back to Worthy View during the day for a power kip/refill/clothes change isn't an option really as its too far. However this year I got from my tent in Hitchin Jill into the pit for ZZ Top in 6 minutes.

Good tent, blow up mattress, ear plugs, eye masks and you're sorted.

oo7tk

Yea we are flying over so getting 2 Octopads for the 8 of us with duvets & pillows etc.. i don't mind the walk at all and I'll only be doing it twice a day, who goes for a kip in the afternoon it's Glasto!!!

Do they sell out fast does anyone know??
