No it didn’t. I think it would take a couple of mudbaths and a couple of years of disappointing headliners rather than 2016 where Adele and Coldplay did really well.
Ticket sales were always likely to be good off the last couple of festivals. Elton, Macca, Killers, Kylie etc all looked great on TV and it’s been Sunny. A couple of years of rain and disappointing music is the only thing that will really slow things down.
It is confirmation bias. You’re applying far too much weight to your own limited experience and your own completely subjective opinion. You’re doing so to the extent of accusing someone of outright lying in public.
This is the case with everything. The complainers shout the loudest.
It also still somehow seems to be the case, in the year 2024, that some people out there are surprised that their own subjective opinion is not automatically shared by others.
