Glastonbury 2017....who's going?
Discussion
I've had to jib out unfortunately. Had a heart attack on 31/3, am recovering (and feel totally fine) but Mrs PT is not keen on me doing 4 nights on the sauce with my mates, miles from any hospital, just in case I have an unexpected 'event'. She doesn't do Glastonbury as it's too big for her.
Probably best to sit it out but it will feel weird watching it at home on TV having been to every one since 2008.
On the plus side, I made contact with someone on Twitter earlier who is excited to be going for the first time, on a ticket obtained in the resale - could be mine that they got! Good to hear that someone got lucky out of other people's misfortune.

Came yesterday, good 3.5 hour run from London bar a bit of M4 roadworks.
Straight in to Pilton with zero queues though I have the advantage of a villager car pass.
Eased in to festivities in my usual style with shangri la till 2am, so hot yesterday but much cooler and cloudy today - supposed to be brighter later today

Not going this year, as I'm on a three week holiday in Mallorca. My son flew out from here on Tuesday and arrived there yesterday after a spell at home doing a bit of work prior to his set at the Unfairground at 2.00am tomorrow morning. Then, after a bit of sleep and seeing a few people in the industry (the best thing about the place, he says, is that everyone is there), he is decamping and going to a stag weekend in Derbyshire. Returns to the sunshine island on Monday.
I'm just happy to be out of earshot of Emili Sandé. 800 miles should be sufficient.
Maybe next year. Depends who's on. I'm just grateful I'm not involved in the unseemly scramble for tickets.

Thanks for your sour grapes post - not going because you don't like one act is truly dumbassGood luck getting a ticket next year - you might struggle

I'm quite glad of the fallow year next year, I've got the itch to cycle John O'Groats to Land's End over 2 weeks - it would be logistically helpful to me to not have the distraction of Glastonbury, holiday-wise.
Gotta say I'm loving all the BBC iPlayer coverage, my work from home day today is infinitely better than normal thanks to that.
