Excellent, this is all good stuff. Someone genuinely divisive. Taylor swift doing far more to shake up Glastonbury and upset people than Metallica. Of course. Pop is always more radical and subversive than rock. Brilliant.

She'll come on, fucking nail it and there'll be loads of new people trying to get tickets and attending in 2016.

Well, Glasto has always done pop, so it's no departure if it's true.

It wouldn't really be much different to Beyonce a few years ago, would it?

It's not really and I suppose given this year's lineup it wouldn't be a surprise to see it.

No big deal in the grand scheme of things

Exactly, i agree. But the only acts that seem to upset people these days are pop

Taylor Swift will upset more people on here. Metallica will have upset more people in real life.

So then it would be Foos, Swift and.... Florence?

Not stellar, in fact Iwouldn't watch any.

I bet Russy will be impressed!!

I still think Florence might do other stage, or maybe even sunset slot before Swifty...

That trio would be one of the weakest in Glasto history.

I'd be surprised if other festivals didn't trump that quite easily.

I still think they might pull out a bit of a welcome surprise if the first two are correct

wouldn't bother me, I would just be elsewhere.

On the positive side, if it were those 3, might make ticket day for 2016 easier if expectations are dampened and other festivals have 'better headliners'.

they are all complete and utter shit, but acceptable headliners in my mind.

It's only the likes of take that and kylie I would have raged about.

Russy, I reckon us lot here should crowd-fund you to programme the perfect festival and make it happen.

:P

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
