    Suppose there’s a limit to how many cheapies bands are willing to do for the festival, and I do think it’s equally a case of them just being hard to place at Glastonbury.

    I mean it's not impossible.....but there's nearly 30 years of shared history there - including secret sets, solo shows, DJ slots and popping up to sing its praises as talking heads - and presumably its been an under market value deal every time.

    yeah, sorry but i don't believe anyone does anything for free.

     

    unless you are an absolute nobody, in which case ok yeah maybe - but if thats the case then you are doing if for exposure so its not "free".

     

    when McCartney rang up Bruce to ask him to play - i am very sure that the very first thing Bruce thought of was "how much".

     

     

    There's a difference between doing it for costs vs doing it for costs *and* a fat stack.  In the case of Macca's guests they were clearly there for the man himself rather than to grab a huge bag.

    Because it adds something to make it a special set compared to a regular tour night. 

     

     

    Plus, although there are obvious exceptions, lots of acts don't actually do it - Arctic Monkeys, Guns'n'Roses, Billie Eilish, Kendrick, The Cure - and going back further Kanye, the Stones, Bowie, Radiohead, Adele, Foo Fighters etc all performed without them.
