Glastonbury Applications!

Posted on Thursday, March 13, 2025

Well, what a couple of weeks it’s been! With the DCSS Glastonbury applications opening on Monday 3rd and then the official line up poster being released on Thursday 6th, the anticipation is ramping up for whether you’ll be there or not.

We received almost 500 applications for our Glastonbury positions in the last two weeks. We have just under 150 positions available and as such there’s going to be lots of you that we can’t fit in. Because of this we have now closed Glastonbury applications for 2025. As much as we’d love to have all of you there with us, it’s just not possible!

Our process will be to accept our regular and newer crew which have worked at least one show with us prior to Glastonbury, then we will try to accept those that are planning to do lots of events with us either before or after Glastonbury, then finally those who just want to go to Glastonbury.

We will begin to accept applications from Monday 17th March, this might take a few days but we will let you know when all positions are full. Those that have got an application in will automatically be placed on a waiting list for any positions which do become available.

Please consider that if you are accepted for one of the few positions we have, it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to switch shifts from nights to days and vice versa.

Happy Festival Season!

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and your team for all the work you and the team put into helping make the traffic and transport operation work so well this year.

As it was a pleasure having DC site services as part of our team. I think the GFEL team of contractors is the envy of a lot of events in the way we all support each other and it was noted by some observers that stated the following :- 

"simply put, GFEL’s off-site traffic management plan was delivered and managed in a totally consistent and defensible manner that sought to promote good practice, collaboration and road safety to the benefit of all road users."

The DC are big part of that delivery and should take some of the credit for that delivery.
