some tips about going to Glastonbury for the first time, from someone who has just been for the first time
Glastonbury was amazing and without a doubt you should make it your goal for 2011, (it’s not happening in 2012) tickets go on sale around October and you need to pre-register with your photo. Supposing you make it, here’s some tips from a single year glasto veteran:
1) It’s big, walking from one end to the other is a good 30 minutes, that’s without the 100,000 people who are all walking against you. You won’t get between stages as fast as you think, even if you did you’d miss all the good stuff.
2) You will miss 90% of everything. If you look at the lineup before you go, you might think you can see loads of bands. You can, but then you’ll spent time walking between stages instead of soaking it up. Don’t sweat that you missed it, enjoy what you did see.
3) Soak it up. Outline a few bands you need to see on the schedule and then just wing it, go into the wrong tent or go the wrong direction and see what you can find. Glastonberg is full of suprises. Phone batteries die and friends can be lost, go with the flow.
4) Get Healing. Healing fields are highly recommended for hangovers, decent food and quiet.
5) Goto Shangra-La after dark. You can’t get there during the day and even if you can it would spoil the magic. This year we found the magic of a dog face geisha, a rave inside a crashed airplane and a giant spider DJ platform.
6) Take lots of booze. Food is plentiful and in the right places it’s really good. Booze can be expensive and there’s a limited selection, so fill up your trolly and take it with you.
7) Take Less stuff. Once we’d finished packing we decided to not take extra camping chairs and other bits, in the end I could have done without wellies. Dragging lots stuff around the campsite is not full in sun or rain, so try to take a less as possible.
So, See you next year?
