Questions for Michael Eavis?

[carlosj]

Or alternately, if yes, why?

[Osama Jim Laden]

Shall we bump the NC thread to show why?

;-)

[Poliwhirl]

Ask him to never Book Nick Cave again (I actually like him) I'm sick of hearing people w*nking over him in every thread on here.

[5co77ie]

Does he know the people who do eFestivals were unsuccessful in getting tickets.

Does he think with a Tory government idealogically destroying communities it's time for Glastonbury to get more political again?

[russycarps]

did he watch portishead this year?

[grumpyhack]

Yes - more politics. Does he feel the ethos of the festival has been diluted over the years. And if so, what's he going to do about it?

Is there anyone who he would like to see play Glastonbury, that has never played before?

Or similarly, 3 headliners of his own choice who he would like to see play?

[matt2007]

So what happened when you spoke to him?

Arcadia will stay where it was this year

[5co77ie]

boooo

[russycarps]

it's unlikely they'll rewrite the licence for you.

[Spindles]

Why? It doesn't run during main stage acts, it helps to divide the crowd between headliners and 3am and therefore reduces crushes and if you've seen the show before you can avoid it. As long as you understand how the sound field works it can be a good show in there and as a random piece of sculpture during the day it looks nice. It certainly beats the sound bleed from the glade of times gone by.

I think the relocation freshened it up a little but I can understand what you're saying. There's only so many times you can be impressed by Lords of Lightning, pyro and acrobats, I guess? That said, I had a great time there this year watching Fatboy Slim. Was a great atmosphere and the sound was loud and clear from where I was standing/dancing

[Spindles]

It was the fat boy slim set that convinced me it was working in the location as well. By 2011 I thought Arcadia's best days were gone and it almost seemed to be going backwards in terms of scale and quality at that point compared to previous years, when the main blast fired in 2010 you could feel the ground pump for a good distance around (I was camped the other side of the trees from strummerville that year, and when we crashed early on a couple of evenings it was an immense feeling when it fired), the spider simply doesn't convey that.

Hmmm that's interesting - a new area rather than venue.

[5co77ie]

I'm thinking large installation 'spike' (a bit like afterburner) where the only DJ is Michael Eavis spinning discs for the whole weekend with cuts from his own record collection
