Glastonbury Festival 2009

Zartan wrote:Did anyone else actually go? Im back, rather burned, my feet are trashed, but it was fantastic. Highlight has to be seeing the boss get on stage with the Gaslight Anthem, awesome stuff. Though having a bit of a dance with an entire field of people during Madness and the Specials is up there.

Might write a bit more once I am feeling more alive. I need another shower now...

I went.

My first Glastonbury.

A-fucking-mazing. Too many highlights to really mention, but... I'll try. the reformed Blur rocked it (so much better than the Blur I saw at Reading '03), Neil Young was out of this world, Springsteen was a real show stealer (both got the crowd so into the music that it was impossible not be entranced), Spinal Tap had midgets, Easy Star All-Stars played Dub Side of the Moon, OK Computer and Sgt Pepper's in three days (I only caught the last one), country is back - hey there Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, The Specials were brilliant, Kasabian did a fantastic set, Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip set the Queen's Head a bouncing, Dizee Rascal managed to be enjoyable. To add to this I was hanging out with a brilliant set of people and I got to do a whole range of things I had never done at a Festival before. Saw Springsteen appear with Gaslight Anthem and the singer return the favour - it was brilliant, Brian Fallon clearly couldn't believe his luck - he looked absolutely overjoyed, it was really great to see. All things considered, its a lot, but it is money very well spent!

if u 2 guys got any pics pls them here

cheers

My pictures were particularly wank due to me a) being terrible a photography, b) Drinking copious amounts of cider c) having a rather old battered Camera (think this was its 4th Glastonbury)

However I did come across this site with some AMAZING photos, this I think is just stunning:

That photo is amazing! It looks like a medieval city or something out of the Chronicles of Narnia.

I'm 100% going next year.

cheers for the link zartan

Yep, I'm going too. Rather embarrasingly, my Dad has been for the last 6 years in a row (except when they cancelled it that one time) but I've never been. It's the 40th anniversary next year so I'm definately going.
