• I made a 'no paying for festivals' rule a while back. Been to Glastonbury twice since, once when I played (clang) and once when my mate played. Both times it was a laugh, but I wouldn't have gone if I'd had to pay. Too big, too many bellends, not enough of that proper festival vibe.

    This year, my 24 year old brother went with his mates and my 57 year old teetotal mum went by herself. Both had a lovely time (although my mum stayed in the travelodge down the road and made her way in each day). I don't know what that says about the festival, but there you go.
