Glastonbury revellers danger safety swiping booze on account of strict rule on arrival

It’s that time of year again, where hundreds of thousands of music lovers trek to a giant farm to get covered in mud while filling up on booze and goodness knows what else, all in the name of living the Glastonbury dream.

Taking place on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, swathes of humanity take part in what has become a yearly pilgrimage to the festival.

This year the music extravaganza is headlined by Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA, with other cats including Jessie Ware, Avril Lavigne, Bombay Bicycle Club and . . . Shania Twain.

Before the chaos kicks in, early birds have already begun arriving in their droves on Wednesday morning to claim their pitch and plant a tent for the following several days. Some of them were snapped wheeling in piles of beers, risking breeching a Glastonbury rule and having some confiscated.

The website tells visitors: “If you’re bringing your own alcohol to the Festival, remember that amounts considered beyond reasonable personal use will be confiscated at the gate. All glass bottles will also be confiscated – you must decant all contents into alternative bottles before you come to site.

“Drunk people can be very irksome! You’ll all have a much better Festival if you avoid over-doing it. If you are concerned that one of your friends requires assistance, ask a steward or security personnel to point you towards The Medical Centre or Welfare Tent.”

But going from pictures already snapped of fans heading it, it doesn’t look like much has been confiscated, as one woman was seen lugging at least 10 cases of booze . . . which doesn’t exactly seen “reasonable personal use” to us.

Well, you only live once, and you might need that much just to get through Coldplay’s two-hour long set on Saturday night.
