Can you really not see a difference between a legendary headliner and the likes of holly willoughby or cara delevigne?!

Why would issuing a statement discouraging this type of travel upset the neighbours?!

They definitely could. They could easily say that anyone they identify as travelling be helicopter is banned and make an example of a few celebs. At the very very least they could issue a strongly worded statement expressing their wishes that people don’t travel to the festival by helicopter or private jet. There’s a lot they could do

Glastonbury pushing normal festival goers to travel by eco friendly routes and encouraging Green behaviour on site (which I totally agree with and support) but allowing hundreds of no marks to fly in and out by helicopter. I’m talking about the likes of cara delevigne and holly willoughby plus others I know of who are not famous but very wealthy. They don’t add anything to the festival, the Eavis could easily ban helicopter travel for anyone other than headliners

Reading with interest as I’ve been an avid gig and festival goer for many years, as well as nights out, resulting in me getting pretty bad tinnitus. It’s at a manageable level now but has put me off going back to Glasto, even though I would always wear my earplugs (by the sounds of it I need to invest in some Loop ones!). I don’t think there is much awareness around hearing damage, I’ve never seen anything anywhere and I am hyper aware these days. The NHS or govt should really be pushing the message as there’s going to be a hearing issue crisis in the next ten years or so

In 2009 they closed access to where Rolf Harris was on due to the size of the crowd (can’t remember the name of the stage now) so they definitely can and have implemented crowd control before
