2007 was my first festival, Sunday was just awful.
2016 wasn't half as bad as I don't remember it raining too badly during the acts.
U2 in the rain in 2011 was shite.
Don’t forget that Fred and Lana are pretty exclusive, while the others have toured / are touring a fair bit.
Gallagher has a huge number of dates around Reading/ Leeds, inc 3 nights/ 60,000 tickets in London and 4 nights, getting on for 100,000, in Manchester.
Blink did 40,000 in London and Manchester a piece last year.
Catfish have sold 20,000 tickets in Cardiff, 32,000 in Liverpool
Paying more money and then having to get to and then stand in a field (whatever the weather), GA with 60,000+ others, just can’t compete.
You could see Blink and Liam in Manchester for £150, or pay similar and have to get to/ from Branham park and risk rain/ mud.
Fair play to Liam for still seemingly shifting a load of tickets in Leeds, obv huge demand for him up there, despite a load of touring the last couple of years too.
As far as I recall it rained a bit on the Wednesday, then rained hard on Friday evening (all the way through U2), but it was okay over the weekend. The Sunday was a scorcher and all the mud had dried up by lunchtime.
