[i]Glass Animals' drummer Joe Seaward said it would be a "challenge" to get in with pineapples.[/i]
[i]"Anyone who wasn't bringing a pineapple definitely is now," he said.[/i]
[i]"It's fruitist. Watermelons are fine, but not pineapples?"[/i]

You can't make this stuff up. Priceless.

I was hit by a pineapple at the Reading festival 1983. Right in the face, during Big Country

Possibly could have been worse.....i was there for those few years and remember vividly the bottles of "gentleman lemonade" flying around all over the place.

I guess a pineapple is more painful though

I'm a bit clueless about these things but why would anyone want to take a pineapple to a festival anyway

Because of a line in a Glass animals song 'I have pineapples in my mind'

Well I guess we're reduced to the bear necessities then.

It gives them something to look forward to, it's a dull life being a pineapple. I think they deserve bit of excitement.

I'm outraged! Why have they not banned people from bringing in nuclear reactors, do they not realise how dangerous they can be?

They can get into Glastonbury as long as they have a ticket, which as we all know are impossible to come by and it's therefore perfectly safe.

I remember when the contents of the bottles changed to soil. Not fun at all. There's some proper nasty types around.

Cheers Jack! That's got to be the most appetising post I have seen on here. Well fruity.

I have tears in my eyes and I'm not crying. Good one.
