Greatest of respect neil but we hear you loud and clear … would be pretty dull if we all liked the same stuff wouldn’t it ? Clearly you don’t like GnR but as someone who’s run a festival website for umpteen years you understand this . 

i understand that criticism keeps standards high.

You can't pull up offside camping, Glastonbury and 2000 trews are the only Festivals here I know that you can camp in and around and even Trees has altered that a bit.

There's plenty festivals that don't have a full arena setup - Boomtown and Shambala being easy examples. Of the ones that do, not all of them (Bearded, BDs) don't have restrictions going into the Arena so in those cases it's not noticeable.

Sandstorms are rare, you're thinking Bonnaroo here.

And you do get readmission.

The camping is also so close to the arena if you are there early enough that it's barely 2 mins walk to your things. That kinda works with Glastonbury in the way that if you don't get there early you get a worse spot.

I for one wouldn't choose Glastonbury over Coachella but cars setup right next to you, you can't beat.

 

Anyone else now want a festival where 2000 pairs of tartan trousers feature in some way?

 

Just me?

It's all a bit tongue-in-cheek, mate. I'd love to make the trip over but the weird "my festival is better than your festival" comparison from Perez Hilton II is getting a bit boring now. Both have positive and negative aspects and can hardly be compared 

Out of upvotes ffs

Nobody too interesting here at first glance? Solid lineup but nobody not about already.

What does this even mean though? Who's standards? The only reaction I've seen from other users here so far is either being really tired of hearing it or, a few pages back, even going as far as actively going and listening to them due to the amount of incessant whinging

I would really really really love Duran Duran in the Legends slot

Ditto.  Would be a great fit and they're obviously active in the Summer.  Come on.  (crosses fingers),

The festivals standards, if GnR was without criticism, we're much closer to another booking for kol.

This forum has precisely zero effect on who Emily books as a headliner. Think you're giving yourself quite a bit too much credit there.

Social media backlash for Download this year was worse than ever and it's also apparently the fastest-selling ever. Money talks, online comments don't, and whether we like it or not Glasto would still sell out if GNR topped the pyramid all three nights.

Public opinion certainly has an effect on who gets booked as headliners.

    • This is a fair point, given the amount the line up is torn apart after release, with the positions all torn apart and criticised - i guess an accurate stage predictions must have acts in positions that feel obviously wrong.
