but I could probably force myself to go at least once, just to see what the fuss was about
Genuine question...is there a festival anywhere in the world that can beat Glastonbury for genre diversity and size of lineup?

Depends on your idea of genre diversity, I see the Glastonbury lineup and I see a shit load of rock, and indie, followed by legacy headliner and then further down the line, whatever electronic “band” is flavour of the month/year and then some black music, with some experimental/folk/world music shaken in at the end.
I have no interest in rock or indie so Glastonbury doesn’t rise much in my estimation.

Diversity at Glasronbury, you say?

Have to correct myself: South by southwest sxsw, did not scale with the years as I’d expected/misremembered. Although it’s more of a conference than a single private festival. In 2014 there were more than 2000 musical acts, Glasto had 2900 in 2019.

knew a guy at work, who hadn't missed going to glastonbury for a decade or more.
He's going this year as well.
I went to the big chill festival three years in a row, and the law of diminishing returns was STRONG by the time I did the third one.
I'm not a fan of glastonbury, I don't understand the veneration for it, but I could probably force myself to go at least once, just to see what the fuss was about, but inwardly be thinking it's not all that..
Much prefer european festivals, better weather, and better/more varied line ups than uk ones.
anyway back to the hating.
