Glastonbury slightly tragic after a certain age

[monkeytimesthree]

That's it.

I dunno, I'm in my 50's and love dancing, raving etc.

'Glaston old! '
A new kind of rave for the over 40s and beyond.

I loved Chemical Brothers just now

I'm in my, 50's, lots of raving 😎

Jo Whiley should be at home tucked up in bed reading Woman's World and sucking on a Fisherman's Friend. And as for Mark Radcliffe, an actual grandpops!

Jo Whiley is gorgeous

Fuck off is it tragic! Why shouldn’t older people go / enjoy it? To be fair a lot of the bands / artists have been around for donkeys years!

The op has gone. Wound us up and hopped it

Yup
Plopped and run

OP explains all. ‘I work full time then look after 3 kids’ . If that’s how you define your life, you need to take a long look. Don’t make that your life. There is a world outside that. Just because you insist on living like that doesn’t mean you should make bitchy comments about others because you’re angry how your life has evolved.

Guess Jo Whiley, Mark Radcliffe, Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq, Edith Bowman and Zoe Ball shouldn’t be there then. I mean what do these embarrassing oldies know eh?

My SIL and BIL are both there 🤔 I’m mid 20’s but they’re in their 30’s and one of his parents went with them!

I don’t think there’s an ‘age limit’ on doing something you enjoy but I do think there’s age appropriate behaviour! The pictures I have seen would suggest that they strongly disagree!

But then again everybody is different! You couldn’t pay DH and I to go and live like that for the weekend 🙄

I feel sorry for you OP for many reasons.

I just read a rumour article in the sun that Jason may be attending with Kylie

I'm rather hoping the Manics join Kylie for Some Kind of Bliss

I have never been to Glastonbury, but lots of other festivals. A couple of years back I saw the Pink Fairies and was actually very emotional at seeing the crowd, some yes, with Zimmer frames as they couldn't walk unaided. Not once did I think they were too old to attend, just thought it was awesome, proper old hippies from back in the day. OP needs a reality check in life.

Pray tell, oh righteous one - what exactly do these photos depict that isn't "age appropriate"? And omg they're in their THIRTIES!!

@ShinyMe I saw Muse at the beginning of the month and I'm going again in September. I imagine the set list will be virtually identical but it was such a phenomenal show that I'm really looking forward to it.

Eaudear Thank you

@MyGastIsFlabbered good, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely not for me though.

@MyGastIsFlabbered Muse are amazing live, I saw them at Glastonbury about 10 years ago and a few other places.

I just watched some of the chemical brothers on I player. Not my thing but Galvanise was good and the light show was amazing.
I like to hear lots of different types of music and get the background to it all. Too busy bringing up kids to appreciate 90 s dance music when it first started out.
You have to keep an open mind.

It’s all about hunters wellies and face gems now...

Muse were absolutely brilliant earlier this month. Well worth a 2nd or even 3rd time of seeing. I also saw the Killers 2 years ago and I can honestly say I enjoyed last nights just as much

I couldn’t watch the Chemical Brothers set, as I have light sensitive migraines and the lights were insane. Just glimpses of clips on social media were bad enough!

Will we be communing here at 6ish for Kylie’s set, folks?

I might rewatch the Foals set on catch up before I pick DD up from work
