Without doubt that BBC involvement has changed the festival, at least re the Pyramid and maybe The Other/WH.
It’s definitely had an impact on who attends.
Any chance of Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel ?
Bruce Springsteen is in Germany the Friday of Glastonbury
Billy Joel is in Liverpool the week before Glastonbury
Khruangbin are playing a festival in the US on glasto weekend so they’re out and looks like Hayley Williams is doing solo stuff next year so would imagine Paramore are out as well.
Indeed. It’s not realistic that NY pulled out because he disagreed with the coverage and streaming requirements for headliners that have been in place for years. Negotiations would not have gone past first base. Clearly the BBC are now dictating performance and content.
