Last year's Sunday night headliner also criticises line-up and prices

I went to Glastonbury twice, and was fortunate enough to catch some wonderful bands there; and there is more to it than just the music.That being said, I have to agree with Roger:- This year's headliners are average (not that The Who's addition to last year's bill made it any better)- The weather is always poxy- It is hugely over-priced- The facilities are revoltingI moved to the US last year and managed to experience Lollapalooza. It's cheaper, the line-ups have been consistently excellent for the last few years, and it's not in the middle of nowhere so transport and amenities are abundant. Oh, and the weather's gorgeous.Compared to other festivals, Glastonbury does have a lot of flaws. Regardless of your take on his music, Roger's on point.
