Pilton-Somerset on 27-29 June 2008

Reference xxxxxxxx - 2 ONLINE ADULT 16+ at £ 160.00

Well Conrad woke up at 4 am and I was already up at 10 when tickets went on sale at 9 am GMT for Glastonbury Festival 2008.  Due to the fact that last year's festival sold out in an hour and a half we were nervous and ready to go.  After an hour and a half of "busy" pages I was finally able to get through and purchase two tickets for the festival.  What a relief.  Sure there are still tickets available, but nobody was really predicting this so when Conrad received that little e-mail message our EuroTrip 2008 plans were finally confirmed to some degree.  While they won't completely be absolute even when we embark on the trip, we do know that:

a) Conrad will arrive on June 9th to Copenhagen

b) We will be in Glastonbury, UK from at least June 27th-29th

and

c) We will be leaving to come home from Dublin on July 3rd.  Just in time to celebrate Independence Day.

To check out a list of some of the performer either confirmed or rumoured to be performing check out the page at efestivals.com.  On the right there is a sidebar where you can click on Line-Ups and Rumours.  They say its more about the atmosphere than the music.  I suppose in the collective, unified way Woodstock was perceived, although this is of course more commercialized but there is still something to be said about 135,000+ hanging out together in a rain and mud soaked field for three or four days listening to music.  Hopefully I'm not expecting too much, but I am sure that I could not possibly be. Definitely going to be bringing our wellies.

Here are some pictures from the festival last year and a performance...
