yes, I really don't mind older dance stuff, but I really lump this bland stuff into a huge bucket. the strange thing is that during the day glasto has a huge diversity of music that most people goto and like and yet this diversity just vanishes at night?! crap tons of (>100 thousands) of people saw elton john/ Qotsa/ GnR etc... and yet just minutes after the main stages stop you're left with a f**k tonne of slight variations of dance music - great if you like that - REALLY annoying listening to people on this board explaining that it's "me" having issues with this. and there's lots of and lots of choices, when in reality theres an extreme limited choices of late night music. It's as though people are in two camps 1) I'm ok with this dance music all over the place - it's great - screw everyone else (head in bucket) 2) wtf?! to add - this has deffo got worse in the last few years. but people in group one will never ever seem to see that -
The green fields venues are tiny relative to the rest of the festival, it's where i tend to end up late on precisely because of the limited choice elsewhere, most of the venues on site have DJs playing what to the uneducated ear pretty much the same stuff. "Honestly not being able to tell the difference between drum and base and techno is bizarre.", well I must admit I fall into that category too, D and B, Urban, Jungle, Grime, Techno etc, all variations of repetitive banging music to my ears, don't know where one ends and another starts, though would see Trance as something different. I've no objection to dance music, it's clearly popular but would like a bit more variety overall.

Do friendships count as keepsakes? 😅 -
About 5 stages in the green fields, stuff in theatre & circus; loads of the onsite bars... Avalon Cafe has folk, normally at least one stage in SH or Common is doing Rap/Grime at night. Glastolatino with its Latin flavours..... The Truth stage in Shangri La definitely has lots of non dance acts on at night Theres 10 + things at least so that's plenty. Obviously any previous year you had the ability to check the line up pages to see where these things are going on. Honestly not being able to tell the difference between drum and base and techno is bizarre. If your gonna rock up to Arcadia, IIcon, Levels etc.... course its gonna be dance music - therefore dance stages.. and are all the time they are open. The problem is that you seem to have written of a massive slice of the musical pie that is Glastonbury and so your limited music taste is what is limiting your options. Sorry I can't help you with that
