Glastonbury 2022

You will. If you've ever enjoyed it on BBC you can't beat actually being in amongst the flags at the Pyramid. Or chilling out in a chair in a field with a beer or local cider at 11:00 AM on a Saturday morning. The people you meet are great, there is no hassle. I remember explaining the difference between, say, Oxegen and Glasto. In Oxegen they wouldn't allow you to bring in spray-on deodorant because toe-rags used them as flamethrowers to set people's tents alight. In Glasto they used to have little cubicles where you could get a bag of wood to have a little campfire if there was sufficient space around your tents (I don't think they do that anymore though). Music is only part of Glasto. You could go there and not go to one single headliner (Personally I will skip Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamarr 'cos I'm old as f*ck).

You will hear variations of what I posted above, here from others

• Pace yourself and be realistic with what you want to see. You won't get (or will rarely get) "20 mins of this act here and 30 mins there and 20 mins somewhere else". Plan what you want to see but also leave yourself plenty of gaps to explore. IT's not all about The Pyramid, Other and Park stages. Leave yourself gaps to just go for a mooch around at least a couple of times each day.
• Your first Glasto can be tough. You'll get your 10,000 steps in, that's for sure. But you'll be SO glad you did it
• Choose your camping spot carefully. Ideally higher ground. You CAN camp pretty damn close to the stages but remember the pedestrian traffic and noise late and potential rain. Personally, I normally camp hear the coach gate. It's fun watching people come in, all excited and happy...... and clean and now they have moved John Peel tent quite near there.
• Use a good, two skin tent. Do NOT buy a cheap one skin "Festival" tent.
• Take all the photos and videos you want (You'll get some great photos especially) but don't watch the festival through your phone. You want to do that then you may as well watch bbc iPlayer at home on your phone :)
• As mentioned above, don't be afraid of the long-drop toilets. They sound bad but I don't know what voodoo the sawdust/compost does, they are actually not bad (And a billion times better than portaloos)
• Try the food. They have everything from many many vegetarian and vegan places to a roast pig
• I know it's a cliche but age range really IS from 7 months to 70. I was at Chemical Bros in 2019. Towards the back. Woman behind's phone rings. She's talking away. No probs, it's all good. Obviously the person on phone puts their kid on. The woman talks for a bit before saying "OK sweetie, granny's got to go. She's at The Chemical Brothers at Glastonbury". lol

EXACTLY right. Initially I was a little underwhelmed but the more I looked, the more I like. Think I'll be catching McCartney and that's about it at Pyramid (Went to see bootleg Beatles instead of REAL Rolling Stones whatever that year was)

Much wider range of acts than usual.

I work from home. During last couple of rounds I had:

My personal laptop trying.

My work laptop logged into work and trying from a French location AND UK location.

A tablet connected to my phone (Not WiFi).

And STILL couldn't get through (But thankfully one of our team did)
