Favourites? Shitters? \"History is never fated to repeat, it just rhymes from time to time\" Posts: 756 Threads: 0 Joined: N/A British Coachella :) Didn't find anything interesting except Diana Ross. I was suprised they digged up Paul, I think without him and Diana Ross the Glastonbury would be just another show for wanna be artists. I am looking forward to Hyde Park festival- the real stars chose Hyde Park. neoh̴̠̘̰͒â̷͓̥̗ͅr̵̜͉͇͆͑̽͝b̶̡̝͉͈̀̎̀̍i̸͌̅́ Posts: 5851 Threads: 0 Joined: N/A (June 27, 2022, 01:56 PM)phillybilli Wrote: British Coachella :) Didn't find anything interesting except Diana Ross.

The music mostly had an alternative edge and there was a massive variety.
Now Glastonbury has become middle class, family friendly and a middle of the road borefest.
People take their kids to see Paul McCartney there which says it all. The acts have never been blander. neoh̴̠̘̰͒â̷͓̥̗ͅr̵̜͉͇͆͑̽͝b̶̡̝͉͈̀̎̀̍i̸͌̅́ Posts: 5851 Threads: 0 Joined: N/A (June 27, 2022, 08:08 PM)manic Wrote: I think Glastonbury has lost the alternative edge that made it special and is now just... lame?

You say that but for 300 moneys or whatever it costs is pretty good value for money to see that amount of acts neoh̴̠̘̰͒â̷͓̥̗ͅr̵̜͉͇͆͑̽͝b̶̡̝͉͈̀̎̀̍i̸͌̅́ Posts: 5851 Threads: 0 Joined: N/A (June 28, 2022, 02:09 PM)Rainforest Shmainforest Wrote: (June 28, 2022, 08:07 AM)Dredgen Sun Wrote: (June 27, 2022, 08:08 PM)manic Wrote: I think Glastonbury has lost the alternative edge that made it special and is now just... lame?
