Its phenomenal, i've been from 2008-2010, the main highlight being the shangri la and arcadia areas after the headline bands. Unlike most festivals, the real enjoyment i find is after the bands are finished!! And theyre not just makeshift crappy disco tents, these are huge areas with all kinds of crazy installations and raves going on, last time i was there, there was a 30ft high mechanical spiders with lasers and fire n brick spouting from it!
What's the age range like at Glastonbury? I always imagined a slightly broader range... not full of 17/18 year old chavs like some festivals!?
...too big for its boots. There was a few places last year that were near-impossible to walk in as Eavis decided to sell more tickets. Also, the ticket prices are increasing each year, and it's got to the stage where I can't warrant spending 200+ quid on aticket, 100 on drugs, 50 on alchohol and the rest!Glastonbury is great, worth attending.at least once for sure. But, I think it's getting too b*
Daft Punk rumored to be playing next year also
Glastonbury is a must, no other festivals are anything like it.
The cost is similar to other festivals, the smaller stages start on Thursday, and the Main stages on Friday. Also, unlike most other festivals it keeps going all night long, I've know people not see a band all weekend but still seen and done lots, you can watch live music, films, circus', DJs, you name it it's there.
To keep the cost of drinks down, you can take your own food and drink with you, and then carry a bag full of cans round with you, unlike most other festivals where you can't take drinks into the main arena.
The size of it is something else, I think there was 68 stages last year.
Also if you're a fan of Radiohead or Kasabian you might really like to go next year...
