    Perhaps most obviously, it would be a Tragedy.

     

    Barry Gibb again - not only did the legend slot himself but wrote huge hits for most of the other acts that have done it.

    Dont queue for anything

    On this one, opt for nontraditional breakfast foods at breakfast time. Grab some momos, hoppers or curry goat and get served immediately rather than queueing for half an hour for a terrible bacon roll.

  3. It's now been a televised festival for longer than the period when it wasn't. There were only 15 untelevised festivals  - and that includes the 1978 unofficial fest and Glastonbury Fayre which had a movie made of it.

    Probably a good chunk of the folk saying the coverage should be scaled back have only been attending in the televised years.

    Despite the money they give to charity and other aspects of the Festival, when it comes down to it Glastonbury is still a business. Their survival and ability to continue is based around shifting all their tickets and remaining popular enough to do that as quickly as possible.

    The idea that they should effectively shoot themselves in the foot and try to make themselves less popular is a somewhat bonkers concept.

    The reality is it’s the best festival, it looks amazing on TV and is probably the best five days of your life that most people could have in any given year. That’s why so many people want to go, social media has nothing to do with it other than the fact it’s a part of modern life and isn’t going anywhere, just like television or microwave ovens before it. Social media is and always has been a normal part of life for younger people, but Glastonbury should be sabotaged to just not appeal to whole generations of people??

     

    Amen

    For the Tipi sale, do you need to give the name of all the 6 occupants or just one lead booker is fine?

    I still haven't defined who I'm sharing it with but definitely going to try as soon as they come available. 

    Always used to be the lead booker, but not been successful for 5 years...
