Only 3 more Glastonberrys ?

[Saint in Paradise]

Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis fears the iconic British music festival could be axed by 2015

because the growing number of outdoor summer rock events is saturating the market.

 

"It's on the way out. We've probably got another three or four years. (British festivals) Womad

and Latitude are not selling out. Partly it's economics, but there is a feeling that people have

seen it all before ...," he tells Britain's The Times.

Glastonbury will carry on regardless of what's happening elsewhere, the other festivals just don't compare.

Glastonbury is in a different league and is also one of the few festivals that will sell out regardless of line-up.

Good. The corporate suck-fest that is Glastonphant has been shoyte for years.

There are way too many festivals and 99.9% of them are dog dirt.

Totally.

 

Moaning - The Great British Excuse for not trying something interesting or different in your own life.

 

Glastonbury is the largest event in the world, covering so much more than simply music. My ex spent a very entertaining night sitting in a tree house listening to poetry after a session making Pottery and learning some Tantric Healing skills.

 

Me? I just passed out every night, but each to their own

For the record:

I have been to big festies, small festies, anarchic festies and family festies.

I was at Stonehenge Free Festival and Treworgey.

I went to Glastonbury in the 80s, 90s and 00s so I can speak on the subject with some authority because I have witnessed it's decline from an exciting showcase for the arts into the corporate suckfest that it has become.

Perhaps some of you have more experience of the scene than me......but I seriously doubt it.
