    Did it 6 times in the 90's and get a strange feeling watching it on the beeb making me wish I was there.

    1992 – 1999

    Who was there with me?

    Grew up nearby… parents used to help run the medical facilities.

    Been 12 times since 1992. Wish I was there this weekend. 🙁

    Just spotted the Wolves flag in the crowd. 😀 That is always there, front left of the Piramid.

    Rolf was '92 wasn't he? First up on the Friday? I was mashed off my Swede on cider by midday. Talk about not pacing myself!

    Dizzee is giving it some on BBC at the moment.

    I've had so many good moments over the years…. this being one of 'em – all the old ravers were close to tears.

    And this was one hell of a singalong….

    There's a great 'acoustic' version of Dance Wiv Me – Calvin Harris dancing like a supercool geography teacher.

    People that go to Glastonbury for the line up are missing the point. But you probably knew that.

    Nope, if I paid that much for a weekend I'd hope to hear some half decent music 😆

    The main lineup forms about 10% of the fun… 😀

    mmmm. If there is nothing at Glastonbury for you…I feel for your ears. I have been a few times, and rarely visited the main stages. Avoid the arena bands and you see some real gems.

    Was there in '95 when it was as hot as this weekend, managed to fall asleep standing up during Oasis I was so knackered & fell on the people in front of us in the crowd!

    I remember pretending to be a Christian in the God Tent to get a free brew.

    I'll probably burn for that.

    Indeed.

    I'll probably burn for that

    hari krishna tent for free scoff & no divine retribution, iirc.

    Edith is looking a bit rough in a "you would" sort of way.

    "you would" sort of way.

    By the friday night, and transformed by cider, I feel that sort of way about most things.

    Only went to Glastonbury once & i was 'working'.

    If you were there in '92 you'll remember the 50ft 5 ton Wickerman built, run & burnt by the theatre group 'Dogs of Heaven'. I was part of that, spent the shows naked apart from a pair of German para boots, a coat of body paint & a horned helmet with a slit in it to allow my red mohican to show through!
    IIRC we had the 2nd biggest crowd of the weekend, 2nd only to Tom Jones 🙂

    Snoop Dog is an a-hole. Time to move to Willie Nelson on BBC4.

    I used to go to Reading each year cos the lineup was always better IMO. Glastonbury always seemed full of divs not giving a toss about the lineup 😉

    89 or 90 > 95 here i think.

    The 90s are a bit of a blur, not sure if i went once or twice, remember The Levelers as the highlight of one trip, dancing in warm summer rain.

    never been to Glastonbury or Leeds festivals; went to Reading c1986. Waste of a weekend IMO.

    My fave band is playing the Avalon stage round about now but as per usual the BBC won't show them. Never mind, I saw them in Holmfirth last night for £17 instead of £150 & I bet we got a longer set too.

    I spent a couple of hrs in '92 chatting with Justin, Joolz & Rev in the backstage/food area. I'd forgotten all about that til you posted that pic!
    Haven't seen NMA in yrs now, need to sort my act out and get to a gig again.

    Me too, although I reckon it was hotter that year. I actually passed out with heatstroke! *

    *Not eating or sleeping between thursday and sunday had nothing to do with this utter collapse of bodily functions, a fact fully endorsed by the medics I was caning it with 🙂

    Going to see the army down here in August, first time for years.

    30th Anniversary dates in the autumn – 2 consecutive nights at any given venue, 2 sets per night, no support band. Songs from all 30 years will be played. I sooo want to go but Nottingham's the nearest they're coming to me and frankly that's too far. They really should do 2 nights at Holmfirth.

    Or Bradford really, but nobody would go 😉

    Saw Johnny Cash one year when I had an op on my knee and was on crutches, went the next year too……bit of a blur to be honest.

    1975 to 1999. Grew up on the festi circuit, many seminal moments. My dad is there trading as usual. Friends run the acoustic stage. Used to love it. Don't miss it now. My folks know the medical lot noteeth, they're from down the road.

    30 years yes but Justin is the only original member; he'll be 51-52 now. The rest of the band are considerably younger
