I think you're all right. I've seen a lot of bands in my life, most of them at Sziget during the years, I'm ok with the experience thing. Still, part of the experience Is listening to good music other than camping and taking part to various Activity. If the festival Is able to reduce cost of booking acts, maybe can also afford to have less people to the festival. Bands are super expensive right now, One man show Is less expensive for sure. About food and beverage, prices skyrocket in last few years. I don't think they're going to suffer if less people buy, I'm worried they'll.keep increasing them (Hope not). I struggled last year with food and drink prices, I bought more at Auchan and In Budapest Center, at least this Is allowed ahaha.
I'd agree! Having seen him Saturday in Manchester, he's Pyramid-headliner worthy for sure.... a change in my view of this time a week ago. Cracking gig! By the time you add a couple more tunes from new album, I think he'd be ace as a Friday headliner.
Agreed on Wunderhorse... think I heard similar bands at Battle of the Bands at school 15 years ago. Nothing special at all.
Pretenders were great in that slot 2017. James were late, as you say, due to trying to lay loads more wood chip. Remember crowds standing outside the metal barriers still wondering if they would open the main stages at all! Ground was splonging.
