Valid point but it's obviously not the case for many, many people. ...but despite this, there are still far, far more people going to Glastonbury than any other festival. |

Some people go to Glastonbury just because it's Glastonbury. But it's still a shit headline. |

Jay-Zzzzzzzzzz can fuck right off, terrible line up this year, not only that crack dealing bastard but The Kings of Leon not a bad band but still a bunch of queers not fit ti ehadline Glasto.
And The Verve, again used to be a great band, bu I saw them last winter on their return and they were dredfull the old magic wasn't there.
Unkle are about the only act I would now go out and pay to see, I have no interest in any of the other acts.

i have been to glastonbury maybe 20 times and i think in all that time i have only seen about 10-15 acts on the main stages, i think most people complaining about the line up have never been, its a FESTIVAL, its nothing like reading or V, its an event not a gig, who gives a fuck who is on the main stages
whats fucking wrong with you all, most of you are young, get in your fucking cars or hitch or get a train bunk the fence and go and take some acid saturday night then see if you give a fuck about jay z.

Funny that Glasto was originally an alternative to the commercial festivals taking place in late 60's/70's and now it turned into the mother of commercial events.
In 1992 it cost £49 to get in, now it's over £150, even though double the number of people will attend. Absolute money spinner.
Maybe someone needs to set up an alternative to this BBC music festival.

£160 a ticket x 100,000 people = a lot of money!

I think it's around 150,000 that go these days Sammo, which means huge gate receipts.

Mex is right it's ace. And it's definitely about wandering about and chilling away from the main stage. In fact away from the main 5 stages.
