One of my very best #Glastonbury days. Joyous, fierce, emotional and unforgettable performances from Myles Smith, Lewis Capaldi, Self Esteem, Alanis Morissette, Wunderhorse and The Fratellis, among others. Brilliant, every one of them.

Lying in wait with a confetti cannon for when the boy comes home from his last GCSE exam... 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

@jamgillespie @glastomole Fantastic, thanks. I'll be there! :)

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

@jamgillespie @glastomole Is the run happening again this year? Joined it a few times before, and it's been good fun, as well as a nice opportunity to make a few new friends. Been struggling to find conformation for this year, though.

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

Better than Christmas! #glastonbury2025

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

@TheGlastoThingy @RedRumClub @GlastoLeftField Absolutely! Saw them a couple of times last year, and genuinely think they're one of the most enjoyable live bands around. They'll be one of multiple must-sees for sure.

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

GET IN! While I'm somewhat meh about the headliners, this is overall the best first poster drop in a lot of years.

I've been excited since ticket sale day, but now I'm bouncing... and there's still 110 days to go... #Glastonbury

Here is the first Glastonbury Festival 2025 line-up poster. Many more acts and attractions still to be announced.

All the Musk-bots and single-digit-IQ Trump supporters replying to this would be hilarious if it wasn't so alarming to see America being run by these people.

Trademark fun and brilliance from @LotteryWinners at Bristol O2 tonight - can't think of a more infectiously joyous live band.

First date of their new tour, so do yourself a favour and get along to one of the shows.

Fingers crossed they'll be back at #Glastonbury in June.

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

Brilliant from @snowpatrol in Cardiff tonight - a set full of singalong anthems. Loved it.

Surely it's time for them to make an overdue #Glastonbury return?

Elton John talking up Glastonbury on The Graham Norton Show. Always great when the artist, no matter their size, *get it* 🫶🏻

What a night, can’t imagine ever experiencing that indescribable atmosphere again.

@ronnabe Too many! Don't replace them as often as I should, but a couple of pairs a year, I reckon.

And yeah, sounds kinda mad, but it's great when we're away - get up dead eaely and explore around Paris, Rome, Prague, Reykjavik, Amsterdam, etc while the streets are still empty. Fab!

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

Four years of #RunEveryDay complete - 1,461 consecutive days, totalling 13,774km. That's the equivalent of a flight from London to Australia.

Festivals, snow, mountains, heatwaves, illness... and some truly epic scenery. And on we go to year 5...

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

Thank you Rome - you were magnificent once again. Consumed more history, beauty and food in 3 days than would have thought possible...

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

Well short of my best time - I blame a combination of waterlogged sand, lack of speed training and my general obesity - but home in 48.29 at today's Christmas Cracker. As always, a highly enjoyable and well-organised event, with a super atmosphere. Well done to all runners.

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

'Tis the season of hot chocolate and festive movies... good news for our youngest, who's been nagging to watch Christmas films since August.

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

Daughter wanted to go hunting for extravagantly decorated houses this evening - so if any of these are yours, thank you for spreading a little bit of Christmas joy.

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

We're going back to Glasto baby!

16 minutes in the queue and then a burst of joy - far better than the usual hour of F5-ing and eventually heartbreak.

Worthy Farm, I can't wait to see you again. #glastonburytickets

[Simon Angear @SiAngear]

Five laptops, four phones... as ready as I can be for the #Glastonbury ticket sale.

Only 13 minutes to go until the inevitable heartbreak begins.

I can't believe it's only fove years since my Sahara trek - feels like a lifetime ago. But such stunning landscapes, and what an incredible adventure... I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
