Have you ever been to Glastonbury and experienced the occasion for yourself? If not then how would you know it's pretentious b@ll@cks?

I've never been and I think it's pretentious b@ll@cks too by the way, just thought I'd ask on someone else's behalf as I'm passing through 😊 .

Albionic, that made me smile. I've never been either, in fact, from what i've heard you couldn't pay me to go.

Any body here been and got a tale to tell?

[Dubbag]

I think it's pretentious b@ll@cks too....and no I have never gone either.....
But then I am not a big music fan anyway so it could disappear and I would not be too bothered.

I enjoy watching the TV coverage of the festival to see the minor bands that appear. I have seen some good performances from bands I had never heard of before but the main headliners for me are usually bo**ox. Bloody Stormzy last time out, and any other of the (c)Rap artists. The Cure did a great headliner and I remember Belle and Sebastian doing a great Sunday afternoon set and invited loads of fans on to the stage to dance along to the music. My bosses' son who I worked with a few years ago attended Glastonbury for the whole weekend and was due back to work on the Tuesday but did not appear. He came in on the Wednesday to say he quite enjoyed the bands but refused to use the toilets as they were totally disgusting. He said he had been crowning a sh*t for three days and it had made him ill clinging on till he got home. Not for me I am afraid.

Wouldn't have minded seeing some of the band's they've had in the past but far too old to put up with the discomfort of such things now. In the past I've been to festivals such as Reading and really enjoyed the music and atmosphere but Glastonbury has become too much of a kind of rites-of-passage thing for recent generations. I agree with McNabb and would rather see bands/artists in smaller venues rather than pay large sums of money to basically watch them on a big screen but, each to their own...

I’ve never been; for me it would horrible not to be reasonably close to the stage, couldn’t stand being miles away and just hearing the music (except of course, if it was rap $hit, which isn’t music anyway, I wouldn’t want to be within earshot). I suppose people go for the experience rather than the bands alone and the organisers, no doubt, will be into the ‘inclusiveness’ $hit, so there will always be stuff that you don’t like. By the way, The Foo Fighters a year or so back were awesome; saw it on TV, almost the best view in the house!

It’s become an upper middle class bourgeois load of b o l l o x full of “virtue signalling” organisers, artists and presenters.

Oh for the days when events like this were just about the music and either free so youth could enjoy or very lowly priced.

Too many well off people pretending they’re ****agers again at Glastonbury.
