Ive had a great time both years Ive attended, but theres nothing wrong with having some f**king standards. You wanna say youre the best in the world then give me the best in all areas. Nothing wrong with setting the bar to a certain level. If they meet or exceed it then they did their job.

I can't imagine the -noise- that must be inside your head

I agree but in the years I’ve been there’s been huge progress . I remember standing in the other stage field back around 2005 and the slightest gust of wind the sound would be lost … it’s so much better now if a little bassy for me at times … installations like the helicopter are phenomenal in their own right . Glastonbury is a little way behind some of the corperate festivals because of how it distributes its money . But bloody hell imagine all those people it’s helped over the years … sorry divulged a bit here … back to tips

Re the quality of the sound I’m with you, it’s definitely got quieter in general and in some cases noticeably worse (e.g. WH). You really shouldn’t be able to hear people having a conversation 10 rows back at a large stage. Shambala had a new venue this year, possibly the best sound I’ve heard at a festival and they’ve got nowhere near the budget of Glastonbury.

production wise theyre still mid. Sound is still shite overall so thats a negative in my book. Too bad they cant spend money in that area for another 5 years.

 

Can't argue with the production point (the budget just doesn't stretch that far) but I've been to many a festival around the world that's been style over substance. Gimme the vibe of the Temple over nearly any venue of any global festival and that's just a bunch of scaffold and plywood. Unrivaled buzz when it goes off in there

Get this thread back on tickets

 

To anyone who is planning on testing the new queue without any interest in coach tickets

 

How long will you hang around before those of us who want coach tickets have a clue what is happening ?

Absolutely this. Coachella might have wraparound screens and better sound but it can f**k off with its rows of regimented lawn chairs and golden circles. Where’s their helicopter rave installation? Losers.
