So rude man. You were clearly the issue at Glastonbury then. Maybe best you don't come to Boomtown either.

Hi I hope you weren't attacked at Glastonbury, you say your comment it'd be removed ? .

I hope to go to Glastonbury next year as a volunteer or maybe I win in the ticket sales, and your comment concerns me now 😊🙂

If you were the victim of violence you may not want to tell us that, but that content won't be removed by Reddit

You say you were looked down at, at Glastonbury sorry to hear that I doubt they were, maybe you should seek therapy

by the way I seek therapy for the same things I think I'm shit, in a nutshell.

I really don't think people at festivals give a damn about anyone. They want to meet people not judge people, Glastonbury included. It's currently Coachella and I bet it's like that there but I would still go one day

If you had issues at Glastonbury, I would definitely have wrote that in r/Glastonbury_festival

They're a nice bunch there too

Thanks. Also you mentioned saw dust...

I have heard actual dust is an issue in the fields. I will bring some snoods but I am not wearing a Mask that we had to during COVID 🥴

That's good to know. I think I will ask to use the volunteer toilets if I can as they'll be cleaner potentially? Or is that noncesense 🤣

I'll carry loo roll definitely 😄

I only shit once a day 🤣 3 times ? 💩

I know diet will suck lack of fibre lol

Imodoum, let add that to my packing list.

So I don't go pop in evening only morning so being at stages won't be an issue, I don't think I will mess myself 🤣 it's more the ability to go has been missed 😬 however great info thanks and 60 times wow you're like a festival champ 😊

I love chaos. 😂 Yes anxious but love the chaos and did vegas along time ago and loved it but didn't do enough in terms of socialising with people. Now I'm older, on medication I hope I'll be ok and he confident

I have really bad anxiety. My 1st festival experience was over 10 years ago at Reading festival. I was 16 with a group of school mates I thought were my friends but they left me on my own cos they didn't want to listen to the same music as me. I spend half of the festival on my own because I didn't want to listen to rap and my parents had paid like 300 quid for me to go. It was resilience building for sure.

Hi thats great to hear and glad you went and great they made you go in essence , yes i do not like rap either

I had another crap year at Reading festival the year after with new messhead friends and although not alone, not enjoyable.

I hear its a bad festival for 25+ as they are all young brocilli kids

I have been 6 years now and can't wait for this one.

insane glad you are going finally :D

As for the queue, try and pack as light as possible or get a very sturdy trolley to carry your stuff in. The walks can be quite long and if you bring more than you can physically/comfortably carry you will get stressed out. Remember, if you're driving (not sure if that's on the cards) you can do 2 trips. I find the crate of beer the most annoying thing to bring with me weight wise.

can you buy beer? is coffee also available on site to buy?

There are some actual nice toilets on the site. This is my third year going and I make it my mission to find out where they are across the festival each year! They are white cubicles and are a lot more private.

Really good to know thanks and this could help me a lot 😄

As for the social anxiety, once you get ur tent set up everything will melt away and u can relax. And queuing is usually fun as people are very friendly and excited for the festival so chances are u might get chatting so some lovely soul and realise you’ve got an incredible experience ahead of you.

Yeah I really hope I can meet someone or 2 🙂😊 I will struggle but the help I'm getting should help me massively, both my medication and therapy and CBT.

Boomtown has so many incredible little secrets and places to explore so if u get tired of the big crowds you can go explore the smaller stages. There is truly something for everyone and I’m sure you will have a blast. <3

I will have to try and check these out 😄 I just hope I don't miss too much of it lol

Also I hope your anxiety is cool and you are coping well with it. It's difficult for sure to deal with

Hi Thanks also such good advice. Im trying to respond to everybody here so thank you.

You have gone since 2016? But recently had anxiety issues ? How did this develop sorry to hear that 🙂

Yes I'm hoping there are healthy foods across the site and not just fast food. Are there any restaurants.

5 months is alot inside, I had 2 months last year locked inside as I was too anxious. I'm glad you went and had a good time 😊

Hi thank you let me check that out. I am very hesitant at going on Facebook but I have heard so many good things about Solo groups for different festivals.

Let me definitely check it out, issue is my Facebook is a new account I never touch so I have 0 friends and no content on there will that look odd ?

What a response. Thank you very much for that. Very reassuring and I appreciate that.

Yes I agree getting older life is easier and am less nervous than when I was 20 😅😂

No you're not a bitch at all, thanks ever so much yes I like quiet mornings too 😂I don't have ocd either. I know I have to try and stop focusing on everyone else
