I went to my first Glastonbury in 2003. Well, technically I went to my first in 1990, when I was three, dragged around Worthy Farm by my parents, a couple of Glasto OGs. It was in '03, however, that I went as a fully-conscious music fan, and it was an experience I'll never forget. Killer lineup (R.E.M., Radiohead and Moby headlining the Pyramid!), lovely weather and all The Vibes - a foundational few days in the journey of 16 year old me.
Since then I've been to no fewer than eleven more Glastos, and have experienced everything from maddening heatwaves (I think my skin is still peeling from 2019) to those infamous mudbaths (2004 and 2016 haunt me). Over that time, I've amassed a bulletproof battle plan of the bare essentials I need with me to make sure I'm covered for all eventualities. Heading to Glasto this year? Here are five things you'll wanna be bringing.
