Glastonbury and music festivals in general... Fuck off! I don't care about it, or how great it's gonna be, or what the weather is going to be like, or how friendly the atmosphere is!
I'd rather have my fingernails torn off than stand in a field, in the mud, watching U2 with a load of booze/drug-addled wankers while having my wallet emptied.

Bit strong.
But yes, I am sick of hearing friends go on about it.
My main objection is the cost. My mate summed it up perfectly in a convo we had:
*[I]me*[/I]: Yeah it was good, but I didn't realise it was going to be so fucking expensive in total. It's basically what it would cost to go on holiday.
him: Yeah, but think about how many bands you get to see, and which would you rather do?
me: ...ummm... probably go on holiday... -
Glastonbury
Bestival
Big Chill(now)
LoveboxALL wank and for cunts!

...oh, not forgetting all the shite they put on @ Clapham Common every year. Full of middleclass Uni types from Surrey dressed in A&F, F&M and G-Star, wearing Diesel shades and flip-flops.
Do fuck off!

Live music outdoors usually sounds like dogshit though. I've been to my fair share of festivals and most of it sounds abysmal. And you usually end up standing next to some annoying, smelly cunt or being pushed around as the crowd moves about. Then you have to wait an hour and a half to shit onto a pile of dung housed in a reeking plastic shed, pay through the nose for a cup of expensive, absolute shite, piss-weak lager, choke on campfire smoke, endure the moronic chanting of drunk teenagers, the strumming of some 'enlightened' acoustic tit (who ought to be sat on a beach somewhere next to the Pacific instead of attending an enforced-fun party), the one upmanship of 'wackiest fancy dress' or 'coolest rock star look', the constant humming of greasy catering vans and frantic worry of who's-playing-next-and-where. And all while hungover.
Maybe I'm missing something, I dunno.

Not at all, 99% spot on. You just missed out the WAY overpriced foodstalls selling dogshit in a tray for £7

^^ epic rant. Well done.
But like everything it depends on your attitude, if you get fucked and have a laugh with your mates then it's all good. Plus most of the time everyone seems on a friendly happy vibe (which is such a stark contrast to every other moaning miserable day in this country).
^ The one and only time I went to Glastonbury, the food was pricey, but it was nice.

No amount of euphoric Kaiser Chiefs chorus-singing togetherness could justify the effort.
