Glastonbury Sunday discovers everybody likes the popular acts
Glastonbury Sunday organisers have warned of busy crowds at major stages. Festivalgoers reacted with surprise after learning that Rod Stewart had also attracted other people, some of whom appeared to know the words.
The Pyramid, Other, West Holts and Park stages expect heavy traffic. Tented venues may use one in one out access, bringing nightclub policy to the fields before anyone has located breakfast.
Two hundred thousand free spirits follow the same steward
Officials advised visitors to use alternative routes and seek quieter spaces. Consequently, two hundred thousand independent spirits followed one steward towards a hill described as usually quite nice.
“The shortest route is not always the quickest,” said Fenella Wristband Puddock of Human Rivers. “The quickest route is a private helicopter, which your ticket conditions rather pointedly exclude.”
Warm weather added another challenge. However, experienced attendees prepared with water, sunscreen and a hat improvised from the programme they had refused to read five minutes earlier.
The fluorescent vest wins another argument
Glastonbury also asked people to remain patient with stewards. This requires accepting that a person in a fluorescent vest knows more than six friends consulting a screenshot from Thursday.
At 5.45pm, everyone found somewhere quieter. It was the exact square of grass from which Rod Stewart could neither be seen nor heard, but somebody’s neighbour had started an enthusiastic acoustic set.
The crowd then declared the festival magical. This was true, in the sense that nobody could explain why they had walked forty minutes to buy a coffee and returned with a temporary tattoo.
