That makes one mindful of that great scene at the end of the Woodstock movie where they are interviewing the old guy cleaning out the loos - "Gotta son out in 'nam , he's up in the Dee-Em-Zee" at which point some total freak emerges from one of the stalls, spliff in hand and stares right into the camera. There is a brief pause before he utters the words "far out!" and staggers off.

Priceless

Go to Alt Fest it's more fun than Glastonbury and you're less likely to see a politician glamping

Done T In The Park, Reading Leeds, etc in younger days but always fancied Glasto (never been) but the wife isn't a fan of roughing it in a tent so but no chance with 5K for a "Yurt"!

Maybe a Winnebago?

Always preferred the indoor events.

Used to go to a wicked one called Futurama up in Nottingham back in the '80s. A lot of generally avant garde, post punk indie stuff - before indie stuff was just identikit jangly guitar bands. And, more importantly, before the British rock scene got ruined by Britpop.

Here's a bit of Clock DVA for ya...

The Festivals used to be about getting away from all the trendies and arseholes. Now it's where you go to find them.

Oh indeed, I have not actually been to WGW as it is more the Trad Goth & I prefer the EBM of WGT

Don't bother it's just full of posers now and lost it's core audience, plus the bands are even more dire than they used to be in it's prime

Stick to going to Leipzig at least people have fun there

Just five grand plus VAT will get you a yurt for the week and you can really get into the counterculture groove.

Gulp, Yurts are what Chukcha's live in, lol!

Yup Leipzig is goth central over there these days, it makes WGW look rather stale

Glamping is for right on lefties from Hampstead who think they're getting down with the youth, as they visit to see some popular beat combo from their childhood

I went once when it was free. Over £200 for a ticket is alot of money for mud and stench.

I went to Download the other week. I would have gladly swapped Metallica for Aerosmith. They were tulip and should have retired long ago.

.. Glastonbury has never appealed.

I have not done a UK festival yet, but this year I have tickets for Alt Fest next month & I do Wave Gothic Treffen in Germany every year, but Glastonbury has never appealed.
