I miss festival toilet queues. It’s very important there’s someone in a bad state in the queue, otherwise you might be it. Crazy kids off their tits for the first time; someone always falls in some mud. A toilet breaks down and there’s instant anger.

That's giving me memories of Reading Festival .

Someone has put 50p in Paul McCartney. God love him. Bet it isn't Jack though.

Omg yes, this, like is it getting old and boring or the mention of naff Billy Bragg but I physically cringed at this.

Can’t help but wonder how many Tory voters were in the audience singing along thinking !

Awww I like Ken Loach, he’s not petrified of class analysis like modern Labour are.
But yeah I concur, wouldn’t want to spend festival time at a talk from him

Have never heard of this man before these threads but see why they get along:



(Found this googling if he still lived in the ends, apparently he sold his Dorset villa for £3mil)

I'm hoping tomorrow we get a perpetual catatonic reprise of one of my favourite Jack chaoses, the "Will she/won't she make it to Conference" saga. Tweeted photos of Billy Bragg waiting impatiently on stage with an empty space next to him. Jack huffing across a muddy field in her stab vest, bladder of lukewarm twig and rosemary water in hand. Please make it happen.

That's somebody who has clearly cut out the smoking of tobacco-adjacent items in the last couple of years - his voice is far, far better than it has been in recent years.

Paul McCartney: He’s amazing eh????

He's not doing too bad! I was slightly concerned and thought it might be a bit like when Elton murdered I'm Still Standing.

If any Fraus would like to see why old farts might want to go to Glastonbury then watch the David Bowie set from 2000. It's so good. With Gail Ann Dorsey too .

I imagine there will be absolutely no fucking about from the festival organisers if there is a whiff of Jack running late, I have been to a lot of festivals in my time and have seen stage managers hurry up late running acts people actually wanted to see, never mind a slop goblin piggy backing on someone else's slot. Different festivals but it's been done to Mystery Jets, Eagles of Death Metal, Lacuna Coil and I even saw the stage manager just cut the amps and mics of Airbourne for climbing the stage rigging in the rain, when they had plenty of time left in their set. Unless you're Axl Rose with an over running afternoon nap and you're headlining the day, there's no mercy.

I’m going to have a strong espresso martini for the inevitable 25m Hey Jude that’ll be on its way. It’s well past my bedtime.

Hotes, we Halloumi souvlaki for dinner so I'm practically fluent now. I might go off barefoot up a mountain tomorrow to tickle some goats and squeeze some lemons or something, who knows? So if I miss "Potatoes 2: Electric Boogaloo" it'll be the dodgy wifi in the taverna. Ευχαριστώ (no space).

I just can't wait for a lovely Sunday recipe of vegetable peel jam with a hideous kiwi smartprice mash trifle.

Shesaidwhat?

I’ve been watching some of the Glasto sets maybe it’s just because it’s not my thing but there doesn’t seem to be much of an atmosphere the crowds seem quite muted. Mind that could be because most of the crowd have paid upwards of £300 to have their view blocked by a massive flag.
Back on topic if she turns up I wonder how far she’s going to crank up the middle class posho accent?
