Glastonbury 2017..

Festivals such as Glastonbury have become the playground of the middle classes, and spoiled rich kids. There is no disputing that the acts (in the main) are brilliant, and everyone there has a great time, but the original concept has been lost to commercialism. Even the BBC coverage is about ratings these days.
 
To be honest I've heard all of them dozens of times, despite not being a fan, he's just absolutely everywhere these days, constantly in the charts, on tv shows, adverts, even supermarkets. Have to say there is something very impressive about the fact it's literally just him, an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal. Interesting to see how he constructs the songs with the loop. There's not much artistic merit, and it's completely devoid of any real statement or edge, but it's incredibly popular and the crowd looks big, and they're all into it.



Yeah, when your b-sides and album fillers become best sellers just because of your name, it's hard to imagine there's anywhere else to go but down from there.

again I agree - just not for me. It is elevator music and the stuff you'll hear in Morrisons in 5 years times. There's a big crowd of young girls down the front pissing their knickers with excitement and as well as the music thats what its all about - $$$$ - he may not impress me but he's a fucking darned sight richer than me no matter what I think of his merits.

Rappers should not be ginger BTW
 
Saw two songs of Ed. People moan about glasto being for whoever but justice are on the west holts stage now smashing it and I know where I'd be. I went last year and didn't watch a single headliner. Think I watched underworld on the friday and new order instead of one of the others. End of the day the stewards are volunteers it's fucking free reign man fill your boots
