Thats very interesting.......

Surprised at so of the prices. Some seem very high when compared to others and other very low.......

Those prices are in dollars though aren't they....?

Barenaked Ladies- 100-150K. Bet they didn't get that for their Avalon set.

[TheBigJT]

I doubt that BNL got that much there as well.  

However, a friend of mine does occasionally book name bands for his company events (dealer meetings and such) (Cheap Trick, Kid Rock, The Doobie Brothers to name a few).  

He tried booking Barenaked Ladies about five years ago and was told that their price for a corporate gig was $500,000....obviously he didn't book them.

Great price, should get him for Glasto he'd be dead good.

Whoaa that's loads. Plan B is only 5k for some reason, what's up with that?

[happinessisawarmgun]

Plan B probably doesn't cost much in the states.

Foo Fighters 300K+, Eels 10K. That is a depressing statistic.

The genre for this is given as "comedians". I wonder how many people turn up under the wrong impression and get cross?

Bruno Mars 100-150k

Why would anyone spend that much?

[eFestivals]

I know a few years ago that the smallest bands playing the JP Stage were being paid at least £500 (which was more than they might expect elsewhere), while the Pyramid headliners weren't being paid more than £200k (which was far less than they might expect elsewhere)

As a rough guide, I'd say that bands of mid-popularity to major popularity are being paid around 10% to 25% of their normal fee when playing Glastonbury.
