No Mik Artistik 2023

[Padgey]

It appears Mik Artistik isn't going to be there this year even though he was on the Croissant Neuf poster. Such a shame as he's always great entertainment.

Unsure if this is sarcasm.. but he's played over 200 times over a period of 10 years. BBC did a good feature on him a few years back..

 

 

[Metal Monkey]

That's a lot of slots to fill, he plays everywhere.

[Chrisp1986]

Where does it say this? He is still performing as he is at Bearded Theory

Glastonbury. We won't be there this year. Which will be sad. We've had a good run though. Done everyone since 2007. Too all at the fest who've followed us over the years I send my best. Enjoy it all muddy or sunny xx

One of the entertainers that lifted Glastonbury out of its Crusties era.

Gutted over this always use to go and see him on Thursday at the Gateway Riser.

Gutted.

I know the festival needs new acts coming through and change and all that but he's a Glastonbury legend. I sat and watched one of his sets one year at one of the stage's in the theatre and circus field having no idea who it was but I now think of plastic foxes with fondness. 

Odd that he was on the CN line-up poster too ... hopefully it gets sorted.

It's the beginning of the end.

Who to see pre eFests meet this year then?

I wonder what the back story is here. 

I can't see he's just decided not to do it. 

Maybe he gets an allocation of tickets normally and that's been cut this year or something like that?

It's back on...

Waaa-hoooo! Great news!!

Just playing around for the craic of it?

[dingbat2]

I would love to know how much the likes of Mik Artistik, Beans on Toast and Lekkido, etc get for playing Glasto and how much is paid in kind with free tickets, etc.

Same for the sort of bands who play early in the day at Williams Green to fairly sparse crowds? Just wondered, especially now my favourite stage has gone, just how much it costs to maintain a stage like WG at Glasto, I never thought it would cost a lot, other than a few security/sound/light technicians, etc most of which I thought we be covered by free tickets?

He's 67, I think. Maybe he just forgot he was going?

He didn't read the email correctly because there was a leaf on the screen.
