5 minutes? I felt like I was writing your dissertation for you. I spent 5 minutes contemplating the thought of Glastonbury moving location.

I enjoyed that survey. Asked some relatively searching and thought provoking questions. Far better than most of the tick box stuff we get asked to complete.

Good luck.

It would be really interesting to hear or have a link to your conclusions, when you reach them.

Took a lot longer than I expected but it definitely made me think! I did struggle with one or two questions though as they seemed a bit vague and I'd suggest numbering each question just incase anyone wants to query any of them. Good luck, I'd also be interested in reading what you come up with.

Do you think that you expect more, or want to get more out of festivals now than you did before? Why?

I said no, but I feel these things should be listed:

1) The stone Circle was the place to be after the stages closed! - but now there much more choice which is a good thing! But to me before the park and sin city... there was so much energy in one field!

2) I miss the waves of cheers going across the site!

3) I miss the bongos at the fires the beat that went on till dawn!

4) They were good to watch! Laterns! esp seeing 50+ at a time. But only through education I found out what the damage these things did do to live stock and peoples property! so glad they are banned for that reason!

Do you think the introduction of luxury camping sites at festivals is making Glastonbury more of an upmarket festival? please explain your answer *

1) Yes! Personally it's the right for everyone to be At Glastonbury other wise it would be all one sided!? What I'm trying to say the prices are jumping in big leaps! and it's getting harder for people who are less well off to buy tickets!

Would you recommend Glastonbury festival to someone who hasn't been before and why?

Yes, From my point of view it's the best festival going. It's good for the young, old, family's with kids it has something for everybody! There is no other festival that can offer this much! for any individual or group of friends!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
