A decent 4-6 man tunnel tent and an airbed really isn't all that bad and can be gotten for 100-150e from the likes of go outdoors or millets. If you pick a less popular field such as bushy ground, rivermead, pylon etc you also have compost toilets close by which if you head for early after been cleaned aren't a bad experience at all. the fields don't feel that cramped at all even after Thursday. Bit of a walk to the SEC but the other stage and pyramid are roughly only 5 10 mins away. Much better than campervan areas at a fraction of the cost. Definitely worth a thought before 2k+ is spent.

Friday: The 1975
Saturday: Elton John

Ah well.. the rumours were fun while they lasted.

Thinking Macca and Taylor Swift are probably more likely now. Maybe The 1975 also. I'll be there for just the one of them.

Bon Iver might finally do T'Other.. although I'll be in London for them next April, I'll still go see them.

As part of our continued commitment to reducing waste at the Festival, we are pleased to introduce Sticklinch campsite – a new official offsite campsite on the former site of the West Campervan Fields for the 2020 Festival.

Like our existing campsite at Worthy View, Sticklinch will offer unpretentious, custom-made and pre-erected Festival accommodation a short walk from the Festival site for those who would like to have a tent ready and waiting for them on arrival at the Festival, and nothing to carry home but their bags.

The Sticklinch pre-erected campsite will be home to a range of Podpads, Yurts and Bell Tents, as well as a limited number of the Festival’s signature scout-style tents, and offers a more gently undulating walk to the Festival site, ideal for those who find the climb to Worthy View challenging.

The Sticklinch car park is in the adjacent field, a short walk from the accommodation, but we would encourage guests to travel by public transport wherever possible. As with Worthy View, as well as being the first to secure Glastonbury tickets, those who have booked to travel to the Festival with a coach + ticket package will have priority booking when booking opens for Sticklinch Campsite.

Bookings for Sticklinch Campsite will be taken exclusively by the Festival’s nominated booking agency, See Tickets.
Coach + ticket package holders will have access to a pre-sale for Sticklinch accommodation from 6pm on Thursday 21st November, 2019.

The pre-sale will be followed by a general release for coach package and general admission ticket holders at 7pm on Thursday 21st November, 2019.

In order to make an accommodation booking for the Sticklinch campsite, you must already have a valid ticket booking for Glastonbury 2020.

All prices are for five nights – Wednesday June 24th to Sunday June 28th, inclusive. Prices do not include Festival tickets. Everyone who wishes to stay at Sticklinch must have a valid Festival ticket.

Please note some structure types have very limited availability and are expected to sell out very quickly.

To make a booking you will be required to enter the registration number you used when booking your Festival ticket. Please note you will need to present this ticket on arrival when checking in at your accommodation.

You may book up to 2 units of accommodation per booking. Car parking tickets for Sticklinch will also be available to book when making an accommodation booking. Please note that if you are staying at Sticklinch and wish to arrive by car, you must buy a Sticklinch Car Park Ticket – not a general Festival Car Park Ticket,

Having booked accommodation via See Tickets, you will receive a confirmation email to confirm your reservation within 24 hours, and will receive a follow-up message from the Festival in May 2020 with further details of your accommodation and access information.

Should you be unable to attend the Festival, or should you wish to cancel your accommodation booking for the Sticklinch campsite you may do so up until May 7th, after which time your reservation will be non-refundable. All refunds prior to May 7th will incur a £20 administration fee per unit.

Additional campervan pitches will be available on the East of the site, and at the Bath & West Showground to accommodate the displaced campervans and caravans.

Caught McCartney in Hyde Park in 2010. Astonishing. Three hours of brilliance including many of the greatest tunes of all.

[HTML]https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/paul-mccartney/2010/hyde-park-london-england-33d4087d.html[/HTML]Unsure how his voice has changed in those few years but am not unduly concerned. The band is great, he'll sound well and the crowd will lap up every last track. The Glasto gig will be pretty unmissable.

Yeah. To be honest, all he has to do is turn up and be a bit lively I mean his back catalogue is so iconic it will basically be a singalong. He'll get about one bar into each of his songs and the crowd will take over.

I know there will be some dry-balls who will go "I want to hear McCartney. If I wanted a karaoke I would have gone to a Japanese resturaunt". But I think he/crowd will be epic.

Reminds me of the fun of Lional Richie a few years ago. Was brilliant craic.
