Michael Eavis blames lack of big headliners for slump

Yea fair point Croquet. I do have to agree with w0nton tho, Glasto has way too commercial now.
I agree, good news for the people that want to go, the odds on getting a ticket are alot better.
I've been to lots of Glato's and the last 3 in a row, it's been a long while since there was nice weather. Maybe the odd few hours here or there but certainly last year was terrible.
Good luck to all who attempt to get ticks and I'm sure the acts on all the other stages will be worth watching but I shall be sat in the comfort of my own home this year watching it and staying dry! (I bet the weather is great this year)!!!!

No surprises here then! Ticket demand is bound to be down if you book Jay Z at Glasto. Although he is a great artist in his genre of music, he is not a Glasto headliner.
Its almost like a "heres who you could have won" Glasto this year, look at the possibilities there were:
Radiohead - new album, ideal time to headline
Led Zep - Having just played a comeback show another ideal headliner, maybe they cost too much!
Rolling Stones - Again, maybe they cost too much.
Then the usual - Oasis, Coldplay not only spring to mind most years, they also have new albums out soon so again, ideal opportunity.
Dissapointing Mr Eavis and going by your comments in your interview, you kind of know that already.
