Glastonbury 2022

Not much help but completely depends to be honest. In 2014 we left the site in the van at 9am and some old banger broke down and blocked up the country lanes so we were sat there for 7 hours. Missed our flight and had to stay in Bristol. The next year we waited a bit later and there was no traffic leaving.

That said, 7am is usually a good time to leave. Less busy. Starts getting really busy an hour or two later. But also means you have to be up at 6am or whatever. Urgh.

We've travelled over and back via ferry every year we've gone (2014, 2017 and 2019).

Had to change our plans in the last couple of days to switch from Pembroke to Fishguard as we're now picking up the campervan in Fishguard.

Anyway, now getting 7.30am ferry from Rosslare Tuesday morning and 1.00pm ferry back to Rosslare from Fishguard on Monday afternoon.

We always left CV West by 7am on Monday mornings and never had an issue making the 2.45pm Pembroke sailing (always stopped a few times on the way and was never rushing. Comfortably in Pembroke before 1pm).

This year is obviously a bit different given we'll be in CV East and need to make it back to Fishguard to return the campervan and make the 1.00pm sailing. Will realistically leave CV East at 6am on the dot. It's a 3hr 30min drive in normal conditions so factoring in one way traffic systems leaving the site which will route us in the wrong direction initially plus allowing for some (hopefully not much) festival traffic at 6am and normal rush hour motorway traffic around Bristol, I'll be allowing an extra 1hr 30mins bringing the trip to 5 hours, hopefully reaching Fishguard for approx 11am.

Just to add to what some previous posters have referenced in relation to See Tickets and posting tickets to Ireland. I previosuly received two responses during the ticket payment window last month. One stated they will send tickets out and the other said they would not.

I again sought clarity this week and received the following:

"We can send the tickets to an Irish address. If the campervan was booked with your reg, this will be sent out along with the tickets"

Probably, we’ve already been charged £14 for posting. I think they use registered post.

Thanks Rubick, had to get home early on the Sunday so missed Lamb. Have seen them a few times at fests or as support act though, and I know its sacrilege but I find them a bit uninspiring live. It's been 15 years so I'd happily check them out again and there are a few goodies there. I've never seen TRB and The Damned always worth a look. We're just going to be utterly overwhelmed with choice aren't we?

Undertones soon to be announced also and hosts of others. The excitement is building a little now.

Bought this recently. Given the contemporary trend in dance music for all things balaeric I think the time is ripe for a tour.

Brilliant. Love 'em, pals of mine from my London years. Great guys. Alas when the comeback in 2008 didn't pan out so well Steve went back to his Amazon job in Seattle and the rest of them set up a new band The Everlasting Yeah. Second album being mixed at the moment. First is decent and the standout track below (video recorded by my significant other, downstairs in the Roundhouse). Even they aren't touring for a variety of reasons (can speak in person). I've been trying to get them to do the Jerry Fish stage at EP for a few years but no joy, just not financially viable to all travel to Ireland unless they can do a proper tour but the band is under the radar at present so they won't pull in the numbers. They're great pals with Steve still and they all meet up whenever he's in London but it's hard to imagine the Petrols doing anything rather than a one-off gig in the next decade. I'd love to be wrong though.

Go back over the thread and there are several informative posts on international tickets.

That would be a pretty good dance festival on it's own. Apparently the new layout will be four stages, id say the capacity is increased too.

Having the ticket in advance will make a big difference on the day. Nine weeks and counting.

Hoping the Aphex Twin situation is circumvented by him playing under his DJ AFX moniker, as per his last appearance in the Temple and others (before my time at the festival, sadly).

Emailed them for a second time and got a " no problem we'll post them out" delighted with that.

Email yesterday saying the tickets had already been printed and can't be posted, I really don't know how that's a problem.

Does anyone know when they release the set times or do you find out then you’re there? Just hoping for no major clashes!

Thanks!

Yeah theyll release everything a few weeks before. And there will be major clashes!
