Clearly you don’t like GnR but as someone who’s run a festival website for umpteen years you understand this . i understand that criticism keeps standards high.

Ok so now standards have been kept high is it possible to move on and accept some people might like them ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty festivals that don't have a full arena setup - Boomtown and Shambala being easy examples. Of the ones that do, not all of them (Bearded, BDs) don't have restrictions going into the Arena so in those cases it's not noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't pull up offside camping, Glastonbury and 2000 trews are the only Festivals here I know that you can camp in and around and even Trees has altered that a bit. The camping is also so close to the arena if you are there early enough that it's barely 2 mins walk to your things. That kinda works with Glastonbury in the way that if you don't get there early you get a worse spot. I for one wouldn't choose Glastonbury over Coachella but cars setup right next to you, you can't beat. Anyone else now want a festival where 2000 pairs of tartan trousers feature in some way? Just me? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to make the trip over but the weird "my festival is better than your festival" comparison from Perez Hilton II is getting a bit boring now.

This forum has precisely zero effect on who Emily books as a headliner. Think you're giving yourself quite a bit too much credit there. Social media backlash for Download this year was worse than ever and it's also apparently the fastest-selling ever. Money talks, online comments don't, and whether we like it or not Glasto would still sell out if GNR topped the pyramid all three nights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superunknown Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Gonna suggest Neil put a quid in a jar every time he moans about GNR. By June he should have enough to pay for some headliners next year that he won’t moan about and save us all some grief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
