If you know, you know.
Glastonbury Festival.
If it was on, today would be the day we descended into those fields. At least after this year it won’t be a fallow year for a while.
People sometimes say “the line-up isn’t very good this year.”
Those people have never been.
The line-up is just a bonus. Across countless stages you are spoilt for choice no matter what your tickle is.
You could literally go sit in the Stone Circle field for the whole duration and have the best time of your life.
And it’s not just the festival
It’s the shop before
It’s the drive down
It’s when you get to that gate
It’s the queuing up
It’s the setup
It’s just the feel when you walk through them main gates and see the sights. Meet the people. See the police in good spirits. See the security having a laugh and a dance with the flowery hats on.
Everybody really makes the effort and the best version of everybody comes out.
People often say and I’ve often felt it, if we could live in a world that was Glastonbury, the world would be the best place.
Since the children have been born we’ve taken the children there, even as newborns and toddlers.
People often say why would you take your children?
I couldn’t think of a better place to take them.
From an educational point of view, from enjoying those moments with the people you love the most, it is a great environment for children.
There’s magic moments on the stages. Not just the Pyramid stage. Every other stage.
Surprise sets. The Legends slot. Arcadia. Shangri La. The Rabbit Hole and many more. You can take your own food and drink anywhere. Leave No Trace. Respect the land. Everyone releases their inner hippie.
The amount of money the festival has raised for charity is extraordinary.
I am genuinely sad we are not there.
Since going in 2010 I cannot miss a Glastonbury Festival.
I am not religious, but it just connects with me like some type of pilgrimage.
A very similar feeling to what I get when I go to Ibiza.
I cannot wait to go back next year.
And fingers crossed I might be able to play.
But to be honest I’d take anything just to be those fields ❤️
