I still think its by far the cheapest (and best obviously) festival around,. Its five days, you can, if you want, take you own booze wherever you go for the whole festival, free programme, etc. etc. In theory you dont need any money as you can bring everything with you, including booze. The standard prices are usually in line with other festivals, but then there a ot of cheaper places (meal for £6 offers) throughout the site, and you can always go to cheaper places if you head towards SE corner, Greenfields, Hare Krishna, plenty of bakeries as well, etc)
So, let's just have a handy recap now we've cleared a few more pages.
+ Olivia Rodrigo seems to be a lock, and despite some information suggesting she'll close the whole shebang, we're leaning towards the Saturday.
+ The 1975 came out of nowhere last week as a reported replacement for Fred again.. and will play on the Friday.
+ Sam Fender was previously touted as in the mix, but now seems to be possibly less of a sure thing - or maybe the same.
+ We have one source suggesting that it is Stevie Wonder on the Sunday instead.
+ Talk about Rihanna appears to have completely died on the vine.
Is that about right?
Probably around the £150 for me too. I get fed a decent breakfast and can access 1 more meal if I go back to to the crew tent or I can take a sandwich out with me.
I had weed and a 5 pint bag of strong cider so I just topped up with the occasional burrow hill. Chuck in a bit of food and small gifts for the family.
The going rates are higher these days. Everything is higher these days.
Some will play for less for a multitude of reasons. Some will feel a kinship with the festival and come back again.
I'm under absolutely no illusion that this year, Lana Del Rey was probably the highest asking price of the lot. Blink-182 wouldn't have come cheap either, but there is still the relationship there as prior headliners.
I'd still wager the two alone cost more than the other four combined.
