Oh yes, they need to bring in their pimms and champagne. Working WOMAD with Oxfam last year was an eye opener, as I didn't expect that there

cant kill off a festival if its sold out before you book even one artist. Only way to see if the festival would struggle is if you announced a line up and then ticket sales afterwards. No blind sale at all. And have an open resale market for tickets too. The festival is going to keep moving into the direction of the dua's and sza's anyway because theyll have to. If they kept on going with just the old hat at the top of the line up youll have made sure the future wasnt going to go as well. Why should younger attendees go if all theyre gonna get is the Billy Joels, Guns N Roses and Foos every year. That gets boring. And sure, they could try an orchestra type thing on the Pyramid if they wanted to. They could try anything, but they wont. Somebody like them can only take a "risk" every few years when they know they have a Coldplay in their pocket. If next year was Rihanna, Fred and Olivia youre gonna see the general public be pissed off til kingdom come. The "what happened to glastonbury" op ed's will be raining down even more than what happened with Sza. Youre never going to make the core audience of the fest "happy" anyway. Only thing that will keep the complainers at bay is Oasis right now. Emily shouldnt have to sit there and defend what was done anyway. Also, this year was a down year FOR EVERYONE. Nobody was immune from talent issues or oversaturation or costs and the like. Be grateful your favorite events still exist. Everyone only cares about the optics anyway.

I've got a regular 4 festivals I do each year (ticket gods allowing). Bearded Theory, Glastonbury, my little local Farmer Phil's and a cheesy fun Tributes festival near Aberystwyth this weekend. Love them all. Tempted to try Green Man but I don't think I can do another and don't want to drop any of my regulars. Maybe 2025 but I think a lot of people will think that and tickets will be like gold dust.

except the swifties are gonna hate the next show because it wont be 3 1/2 hours and only be 20 songs. Thats the corner she put herself into now. Nobody should really be doing that unless its your last tour or youve been doing it your entire career. And that production was pretty stripped back anyway. Compare it to the prior one and its not that elaborate. You couldnt have big elements because of the time constraints, costume changes and long setlist. If it was a big thing then its probably an extra 30 minutes in there with big production pieces. Beyonce was 2 hours and 45 minutes if the full setlist was done during Renaissance for example. And that had insane production values. If she cut the 3 song section its just under 2 1/2. Even Madonna's show had crazier production than Taylor's. She had a stadium show inside an arena. If she decided to hit up every festival at one point its gonna be a tipping point for some. Cause if her fees is ridiculous then prices will have to reflect. Obviously with Glasto itll have to be reduced but by whatever year it happens the ticket cost will have risen a bit anyway. At least there will be zero concern over region locking the stream of the performance. Unless bbc decides to go full pay per view finally.
