Glastonbury's real headliner? £8 lager and wine at 3x retail price cause outrage at Worthy Farm
As thousands descend upon Worthy Farm armed with tents, sequins, and high hopes, many are now also clutching their pints like precious treasure, because at £7 a lager, they might actually be.
Social media is now awash with screenshots, sighs, and stunned silence as festival-goers come to terms with the harsh reality: If you didn't pack enough booze, you're about to be bankrupt! It wouldn't be Glastonbury without a little mud, a lot of music, and a mild existential crisis at the bar. Pic: Jim Dyson/Redferns
Festival-goers have since taken to X in their droves, angered by the astonishing upscaled prices at this year's bars.
A bottle of Whispering Angel rosé will set you back a heavenly £50, while your local Tesco does it for £22.50.
Similarly, 175ml glass of Della Vite Rosé Prosecco costs £15 and £20 for a large. Fancy the whole bottle? Well buckle up because it'll cost you a staggering £60. As thousands descend upon Worthy Farm armed with tents, sequins, and high hopes, many are now also clutching their pints like precious treasure, because at £7 a lager, they might actually be.

Other cocktail offerings include mojitos, Aperol spritzes, negronis, and the pornstar cooler are all priced at £12 each or £40 a jug, does that come with a free camper van to weather out the hangover in or?!

As well as this, he added: 'Two really shiny bracelets, a blue troll, a hairless troll, four house keys, two dinosaurs, a squid, skeleton arm, a jaw bone, seven ducks, a couple of frogs [toys], three Croc charms, some crystals, a golden doubloon, £40 in cash.' I was a Glastonbury litter picker - we got EPIC perks but found bizarre things… don't start me on people's loo habits Not only this, but the man also got his hands on a toy lizard and a light switch, as well as an 'empty vial, a wooden dice, a plectrum, two shells and finally a golden top', which he claimed he 'doesn't know what to do with.'
