Limited number of tickets up for grabs
Mon 07 Apr, 2008
Glastonbury has become like the BBC One of Festivals....its a bit middle-class, has a breadth of culture, has some good parts and some not very good parts and has been around for a long time. It represents an English institution that was always second to none and would offer us everything we could ever want, and more, in a British festival. For such a long time it was the ONLY festival to go to for the diversity of acts and upcoming talent that the other more commercial festivals didn't pick up on. Going to Glasto and not knowing the line-up made it all the better because you would end up seeing acts you didn't know you should be listening to...theres also so much freedom at the site to wander in awe of the place....but in the last ten years there have been many many factors proving that Glasto has lost its way and its not all the fault of the organisers. The mud means we don't have that freedom to move anymore. The idiots and scumbags who ruined Glasto in 2000 by overcrowding the place meant tighter security. The state of music right now means the headliners have become increasingly poor and with an extortionate price for the ticket, is it any wonder there are tickets left over??Much like BBC One now, there are many many alternatives...however, the market is saturated with festivals now and there aren't enough bands to go round! Jay-Z is a fine headliner for Glasto, come on you snobs!!! Theres plenty of dance and indie/rock bands elsewhere and maybe you might end up seeing something new and exciting, rather than staying at the main stage all day to make sure you see the bl**dy Kooks or Stereophonics. Where has the Glasto spirit gone??? Died years ago and every year the rain washes more of it away....Why not try something else this year? Lets face it, the way the planet is changing we may only have a couple of years left to enjoy them.GWx
