I haven’t been to Glastonbury since 2011 and there hasn’t been anything since to convince me to try and get tickets again since really.
I can’t do tenting festivals anymore. Primavera has ruined festivals in this country for me in that respect.
Sea Changes for me next year it was excellent this year apart from the security who were a bit over zealous.
Everything has its place, and Glastonbury can do things the others can’t do as well as the other way around. But that said I can see myself going to Green Man every year until the end of time, but I don’t see myself still going back to Glastonbury into my thirties. A few of our pals have stopped going now and just do small fests instead, they all say it’s down to having kids, but even without planning to have kids I can’t see myself running around the place getting shitfaced battling crowds and not sleeping when my friends have packed it in and half the crowd is a decade younger than me.
You guys are great, obviously, but it is notable but that my FB timeline is full of people celebrating getting tickets who don’t go to a single other gig at any other time.
I meaan on the one hand yes, but on the other hand… no? Given what they put on a lot of the stages i think its fair that they cater for muisc fans as well
For a lot of people this is a party and holiday and there is nothing wrong with that
I don’t think even ‘being into music’ necessarily gives you more moral high ground over anyone else going either, since a lot of people go and barely even touch the stages and still get their money’s worth soaking up theatre/dance/comedy/food/hippie stuff.
This implies he was sent back to New Zealand forever, which he unfortunately wasn’t.
I think the upshot of the Beyoncè thread on here a few years ago was that anybody who doesn’t love her is a dispicable person, and I must say I fully agree. However I’d like to see the punishment be changed to exile on a far less nice island, like Man or Wight or any of those Tory prick ones.
Missed out on tickets this year, but i’ll have a go in the resale and the other ‘secret’ sales they have.
I still think the line- up is excellent, last year on the Friday night alone you had:
Angel Olsen, Elbow, Sleaford Mods, Flaming Lips, Lorde, The XX, Radiohead, Anderson Paak, Dizzie Rascal to choose from, which pretty much covers all bases for me anyway.
Not a bad shout.
It’ll probably be Muse or something though.
Not too bothered to be honest. Glasto is alright when watching on telly or iplayer but seems like my idea of hell in reality.
