You don't show much evidence of having an understanding of what Glastonbury is about.
Yes, it could make lots more money through sponsorship, maybe streaming, all kinds of things. But it isn't about the money. It gives most of its profits away to charities. This is probably why Neil Young likes the festival in the first place. The fact that the TV rights are free for UK viewers will undoubtedly be why they let the BBC broadcast it.
Besides the fact that the logistics of broadcasting it are monumental. Who else could do it as effectively?
DM really doesnt mix it up unless theyre forced to do so, ie multiple nights in one venue. when they played The Hollywood Bowl in 2017 over 4 nights they had to switch it up every show and that had more variance than the rest of the tour combined. It really is all Martin choosing to do something else. There might be a couple of main set songs that get rotated in and thats likely it. Really one of the more static touring setlists for a major band on tour. They are not King Gizzard.
No. Not for floor. Not possible. Youre wristbanded before you even enter the stadium itself. They likely re scan your floor ticket before you even go down to the floor itself as a safety measure. Theyre stupid. but not that stupid. Just for the seats that its all accesible due to the degisn. New stadiums arent this simple. Thats how it is when a venue is over 100 years old.
