A fair point, I think this is THE though problem with the much cut back lineup offering though and why they aren’t selling out the weekend anymore, who are the kids seeing while the boomer headliners are on? The Sunday night (Reading), is potentially a horror show for the leavers element. Two of my nieces went to Reading as leavers, neither particularly enjoyed the experience, neither have any intention of ever going back. As expected they were rarely in the arena, as there was little they wanted to see. Would this have been different pre 2020? Who knows? You’d assume with 50% more acts they’d have been a good chance they’d have been in 50% more of the time… I think this is reflected in the Lana/ Fred day selling so well but it not translating to weekend tickets. Two scarce, high demand artists are enough to drag people out to a field in the middle of nowhere. The same people desperate to see them aren’t much thrilled by seeing 50 year old plus men playing guitars. Who are the alternatives while those men are playing? On the Sunday Skrillex and Japanese house? My nieces are long home Blink or the Prodigy? Both at their peak before these kids were born… There is no one else schedule to play. Perhaps it’s not a leavers fest after all… Edit - And this is before you obv take into account the anti-social camping experience, which is clearly another huge aspect that is being fed down from leaver to leaver. My nephew (sibling of my nieces has no plans to go to Reading next year when he finishes his GCSEs)

I don't understand why people equate decent things with big names or the obsession with headliners. Music is music with or without 6 figure stream count on Spotify/Apple Music. There is nothing wrong with going to a fest and not knowing any of the bands. If you want to watch a specific artist, you go to a gig. That's what they are for. Festivals are not gigs though. But I see your point about the overcrowding. Enforcing capacity limits would easily solve this

Not sure where to put this but as the UK needs money here seems like a good place................... let's hope it actually happens. https://news.sky.com/story/serious-global-progress-g20-countries-agree-to-targeted-tax-on-super-rich-in-theory-13186697 "Bllionaires currently pay the equivalent of 0.3% of their wealth in taxes"
