It was absolutely brilliant. Had a few genuine special moments in there. A personal favourite from my 11 festivals.

Realistically, I’m feeling like I’m flogging a dead horse for myself. I don’t have a ticket and I don’t feel that bothered.  after Covid, the change has been tangible for me, and I didn’t really enjoy this year. Too much trudging around in crowds, missed things like Kasabian where we couldn’t even get in the tent and watched them on a screen outside.  I felt like I was somewhat aimless and nothing really stood out. The Dragonfly was cute but so quiet.  I’ve been holding on to what it represents for me and my past, but it’s not what it used to be for me, and what I love is increasingly hard to find there. I’ve been every year since the 90s bar pregnancies , my kids have grown up with it every year, but I guess our time is done. The social media squabbling annoys me and the new system failures add to the feeling that it’s just changed beyond recognition.  so trying some smaller things this year and Glastonbury on tv!

However Post Malone, Eminem, Travis Scott as your 3 headliners, that's Wireless territory, and I hate to stereotype but that will bring a horrendous type of attendee to the festival.

Literally nothing. He was on the talk show circuit interviewing on his upcoming album, a year before that was released and a few months before his first single was released.   Before he had any singles or anything, he was being put on tracks with Gucci Mane, Ilovemakkonen, 50 Cent etc.   His appearance on the scene was not natural.
