What a place
The muddiest year ever
Whether you’ve been to Glastonbury or not, there’s one thing that everyone knows about the festival and it’s not the music. It’s the mud, that fucking mud. It’s the difference between an enjoyable time and if you’ve all seen the pictures, you'll know how savage it looks. People diving in pools of thick gloopy hell, revellers dragging suitcases through bogs and 80 per cent of attendees genuinely trying not to fall over. 2016 took the piss, though, and Michael Eavis said that “in all 46 years, it hasn’t been as bad as this”. The rain fell and fell for weeks before the festival and, although there wasn’t a huge amount of rainfall during the event, the damage was well and truly done. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t clean but who gave a damn? No one. It’s Glasto, baby.
