I've given this way more thought and time than I should have done...   sza had sold out her arena shows in the uk  and had the bst date. So its not like she wasnt popular to begin with.    Agreed. Although there were lots of the usual "Who?" nonsense on line, the ticket sales, BST slot and streaming figures did, on paper at least, make her look like a decent choice.   Sza didnt work because nobody wanted an artist that connected more with people half their age than themselves.    SZA didn't work because not enough people who were there, thought she was a better option than whatever else was on offer at the time. It's not that deep. It was a gamble, it didn't pay off    And a r&b act on Sunday isnt the best thing either. It also shows you what the core audience gives a sh*t about.    Is it doesn't give a sh*t about or prefers something else?   They truly dont want the fest to progress farther than like 2010.     This is clearly nonsense for the majority of people who attend. There are many, many acts on that became popular after 2010 and have had big crowds. I mean, Billie Eilish was 9 when Glastonbury 2010 was on, but she did fine.   If she was british I bet you nobody would say a word. Or if it was Little Simz.    I'm not sure what you're getting at here. You think if she was British no-one would mention the crowd size? Maybe if Sza got the crowd size Simz did, no-one would mention it.   And if you want to gatekeep the festival headliners then be my guest. Maybe where I live should stop lending you talent and we'll see how far these top names go in quality. No Billie, Kendrick, Olivia, Guns N Roses or  Foo Fighters just from the last few.    This is just laughable.   Feel free to post this...  

Yes, you're right. That's why I said it's totally subjective. Personally I wouldn't pay a ticket to see Coldplay or Adele, but they’re great headliners for Glasto.   In any case, if the headliners don't please me, I'll just go to one of the other six concerts that will be happening at the same time. So it's no big deal.

I've said it before—Bru-C, Digga D, AJ Tracey at Reading 2022 were honestly THE worst crowds I've ever seen. Not in terms of size but the middle class British teenagers that are desperate to be gangster with no accountability.   Watching an older gent probably 45-50 stood there and some scrote in a Gucci bucket hand did a running punch straight into his stomach, as a gang of teen girls clad in the latest boohoo scant minidresses found it to be the most hilarious thing in the world.

Probably says a lot about me that I'm curious to know if it was a special flavour of chocolate bar.

I’ve explained in quite some detail several times and not sure I can be bothered to do so again.   You’re very aware that it’s a considerably different experience for myself and my mates and it’s about so much more than the festival.   I’m also fairly sure you read my reviews every year, which should give you some idea. If you haven’t then I suggest you do.   And of course there’s always this
