Stevie Wonder to sub the pyramid…   The 1975, Pulp Biffy Clyro, Jamie XX   Neil Young, Stevie Wonder Charli XCX, Deftones    Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan Loyle Carner, Elbow

I think they should open with Kool-Aid. 

I’m calling nonsense    Glastonbury has never been a rock festival

I think there’s a lot of good stuff on there but there’s almost not enough for me to part with money for a weekend or day so wouldn’t surprise me if younger folk with less disposal income are thinking the same. Can imagine some younger ones deciding on different festivals or holidays tbh. You’ve got the festivals like Truck/boardmasters which are much cheaper now or for the same price as R&L you could go on holiday, I heard some possibly college/uni students discussing this the other day.    Then I wonder whether the slightly older crowds are of the same view as me. I hate how the crowds gone so I’m reluctant to camp these days which means spending too much on tickets/hotel to justify it.   The days are so jumbled that there’s not enough to part for a day ticket, would love to see Travis Scott and there’s only Amyl & Sea Girls that I’d want to watch that day but it wouldn’t totally surprise me if they all clashed. Would be down for the BMTH day as I love them but I’ve seen Enter Shikari a million times and I’ve either seen or will manage to catch anyone else I want to see on there day. Again the Chappell day is good but now I’m expecting her at Glasto there’s nothing wow or different that I’ve not seen or can’t go see close to me that makes me urgently want to get a ticket.    But saying all this I’m probably just not the demographic anymore. It’s just a shame how it’s almost very good and they’ve good quite a lot of good bands/artists but it does feel like it’s missing something.
