This year’s Glastonbury festival is one of the wokest ever, as Gen Zers shun the usual warm-up DJ sets and bands and bands for debate panels featuring Leftie speakers, a string of MPs and Just Stop Oil – after starting the day with artisan coffees, organised runs and Joe Wicks workout classes. The Mail has the story.
As the sun rose above Worthy Farm, hundreds of people were seen taking part in organised runs or a 30-minute workout session, led live by exercise guru Joe Wicks, instead of heading straight for the stages or alcohol tents.
Health conscious Gen Zers were also seen shaking up the festivities with cold outdoor showers, stretches and even a group jog.
The organised run, which saw around 200 people take part, stretched for around 5km as joggers pounded through the fields while others (millennials) slept off their hangovers.
And then rather than the customary ‘baby wipe’ bath, young people could be seen having showers near their tents, to ensure they feel and look fresh for the day.
Gen Z attendees – known for their health conscious lifestyles including drinking less booze than their millennial counterparts – didn’t head straight for the beers either.
The longest queues by far [Friday] morning were for artisan coffee, as ticket holders made the most of the dry weather – which is expected to peak at 25°C – and got up early.
Crowds then gathered for Joe Wicks’ Glastonbury workout this morning – a 30 minute HIIT exercise class.
Alternative health solutions are also being widely promoted: including a tent charging £15 for attendees to lie upside down in an attempt to help ease back problems.
Elsewhere across the festival site are plenty of recycling stations, signs to reduce waste and biodegradable food packaging.
A drag queen was spotted entertaining crowds on Thursday night at the so-called ‘Meat Market’.
There is even a stand where people are offered free hugs.
After defying an attempted ban to stop the screening of a Jeremy Corbyn film on Thursday, many at Worthy Farm will line up to watch speeches from MPs, Left-wing speakers and even Just Stop Oil.
Left-wing lawyer and head of The Good Law Project, Jolyon Maugham, is also due to speak at the festival.
At the Left Field site, which has long been at the heart of talks by politicians, activists and community leaders, this year’s attendees will hear from experts on climate change, industrial action and the Grenfell fire.
I’m sure Daily Sceptic readers are gutted to be missing out.

Glastonbury used to be fun, it used to be cool. What happened to you Glastonbury..?
It became part of the Establishment!
When it featured on most BBC channels?
Shame it wasn’t raining…we could do with it here.
Who will pick up the 1000 tonnes of garbage and faeces left by the ‘greentards’ as they yell and scream, render their clothes and self flagellate over Saint Thunturds latest prognistication with many retreating to their comfortable homes using hyrdo-carbon fuel? Migrant slave labour?
Come on ….. I’m sure most of them walked or cycled to Glastonbury.
The BBC has sent over 1000 freeloaders to cover this celebration of musical mediocrity just for a jolly up at the expense of pensioners and those struggling to keep the lights on while they guffaw and bray over champers and lines of marching powder.
Sod the climate, keep the generator for the chiller going!
I’m sure the country has never seen so many white monied and gormless faces in one place. Surely the greedy Eavises are treating it as a woke test now?
£ 300 for Rick Astley, Capaldi and Lizzo?
‘Let’s see just how many mugs we can catch this year, Emily!’
‘Doesn’t look like much of a cost of living crisis for this bunch of suckers, does it daddy?’
What makes me laugh about Glastonbury is that the attendees preach all this Labour bollocks and diversity crap, but virtually everyone who goes is white and well off. Nobody else can afford to go. The BBC market it as some great English festival. It is not a festival for the people, it is a festival for rich people. It’s a festival that hypocrites like Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Radcliffe go to in their luxury winnebagos.
(some of the above is taken from a ranty / swear blog which I’ve bowlderised).
Not that I’ve ever attended (can’t afford it) but I know plenty of people who do and to be fair, the Healing Field stuff has been going for years as has the political stuff – even the drag queens. It’s the corporatised green hypocrisy I can’t stand. Had a walk around a few of the posh campsites the other day: multiple bin selections for your rubbish & to ‘save the planet’ yet the number of diesel generators dotted about to service that luxury lifestyle and charge up the high end EVs and hybrids was a sight and sound to behold.
Woke, corporate load of bollox for the middle classes to go to “let their hair down”… and get ripped off..
Oh dear. A “hideously white” audience it seems…
Perhaps they identify as hideous? Or beautifully black for that matter.
Do you think the audience might be “too white?”
I have an inversion table. It wasn’t fun having treatment for sciatica stopped when covid arrived.
Oh Dear !! Who would have thought it ! It’s full of the kids of people organising our wonderfully diverse & inclusive lifestyles , all topped off with a visit from the Kimono clad Baseball Bat Fox Killer himself ! What’s not to like
Hardly drugs and sex and rock n’ roll. A big virtue signalling cuddle party – ‘look at us, we’re saving the world!’. How sad. Is this really progress? is this where music festivals are heading? A thinly disguised political event (you can imagine the cheers that will resound when some virtue signalling celeb shouts something vaguely green sounding) masquerading as a cool festival. Goodbye Glasto!
We climbed over or crawled under that fence a few times in the 90s early 2000s when Glastonbury was still a decent knockabout traditional festival. Now I’d genuinely rather spend the weekend in a Columbian jail.
Woke is Marxism / Maoism having evolved to take on the West.
It is a culture war against Europe.
I highly recommend the below –
Dr. James Lindsay on Marxism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6rk1mYiOAw
“In primitive societies the individual life is submitted to rigid and immobile communal custom and rule; this is the ancient and would-be eternal law of the human pack that tries always to masquerade as the everlasting decree of the Imperishable, eṣa dharmaḥ sanātanaḥ. And the ideal is not dead in the human mind.
The most recent trend of human progress is to establish an enlarged and sumptuous edition of this ancient turn of collective living towards the enslavement of the human spirit. There is here a serious danger to the integral development of a greater truth upon earth and a greater life.
For the desires and free seekings of the individual, however egoistic, however false or perverted they may be in their immediate form, contain in their obscure shell the seed of a development necessary to the whole; his searchings and stumblings have behind them a force that has to be kept and transmuted into the image of the divine ideal.
That force needs to be enlightened and trained but must not be suppressed or harnessed exclusively to society’s heavy cart-wheels.
Individualism is as necessary to the final perfection as the power behind the group-spirit; the stifling of the individual may well be the stifling of the god in man. And in the present balance of humanity there is seldom any real danger of exaggerated individualism breaking up the social integer.
There is continually a danger that the exaggerated pressure of the social mass by its heavy unenlightened mechanical weight may suppress or unduly discourage the free development of the individual spirit.
For man in the individual can be more easily enlightened, conscious, open to clear influences; man in the mass is still obscure, half-conscious, ruled by universal forces that escape its mastery and its knowledge.”
– Sri Aurobindo , The Synthesis Of Yoga, Chapter VII: Standards of Conduct and Spiritual Freedom
Agree 100%. A serious study of James Lindsay’s work will take your understanding of what’s happening to the next level. See https://newdiscourses.com/ . Not for the faint-hearted, but worthwhile.
Woke is everywhere. Why should it not be here?
Are you there?
No but Ed Miliband is ——————-wink
Music festivals have never been my thing anyway but I can’t imagine ever going to one now in the U.K.
Perhaps we’d enjoy the motorcycle rally held annually in Sturgis, South Dakota, which attracted opprobrium from the covidians when the organisers and relevant local authorities went ahead with it in August 2020. It supposedly led to a “surge” in “Covid cases” – it probably didn’t but if it did then so what?
“it probably didn’t but if it did then so what?”
And if it did lead to a lot of community cases great, it helped build immunity.
In preparing my post I checked the Wikipedia entry for the rally to make sure I had the dates straight. The thing has been going for many years but the paragraphs on the “Covid controversy” take up a disproportionate amount of the whole article, going into detail like “13 cases in Hibbings, Minnesota, traced back to the rally. Pathetic.
Holding that event at that time was a truly glorious statement – made doubly pleasing because it would have been mainly white Middle Ages republican voting gun owners taking part. I’m not saying that group is superior in any way, just more likely to piss off the Covidians. 462,000 people.
It’s the state with Mount Rushmore and they have a festival there too I think on July 4th but that’s federal land and of course the federal government blocked them from holding.
it was more fun in the days when Michael Eavis declared Glastonbury to be a free festival because the perimeter fence had been destroyed within an hour of opening, and The Great Goddess’ magic mushrooms were openly sold by soap dodgers at an impromptu hardcore tekno dance venue appropriately named ‘The Dog and Vomit’
I can’t think of anything worse than paying £thousands to participate in this woke-fest.
Still, it explains why the BBC has used the Poll Tax of thousands to send 500 staff there to experience and report on the “fun.”
I’m laughing that they are paying extortionate prices to look stupid.
What happened to taking loads of acid and just enjoying being covered in mud, whilst listening to some banging music?
Waste of time of that’s not what you are doing tbh.
If there was a hell and Satan designed (or curated?) it specifically for me it would be camping with thousands of smelly leftists, generic pop artists, past their prime rock stars, and lefty lecture panels. Glastonbury would be it. But at least the hell version would be free.
