  • I would surprised if anyone went to Glastonbury and found there was nothing that appealed to them musically or culturally among the 3,000 acts each year.

  • So much this. People saying "Glastonbury is full of middlemanager unimaginative whoppers" are basically outing themselves as the same. Sure, it's far more main-stream than it was 20 years ago and sure in places it will feel like Clapham high street. But, you never need to go far before you end up in some weird subculture dive space listening to Ukranian folk music/appalachian mountain tunes/drag electro karaoke and dancing with people you would not meet in Clapham drinking/ingesting things far more interesting than peroni. Sure, it's not for everyone and I'm sure you could have a rather cliched experience there if you stayed on the main stages and big bars, but to denounce the whole thing as boring music for foxton employees is missing the mark by a long way I'm afraid....
